Characterization of human T suppressor-inducer, -precursor and -effector lymphocytes in the antigen-specific plaque-forming cell response
Authors:C J Heijnen  K H Pot  R E Ballieux
Abstract:Suppression of an antigen-specific plaque-forming cell response of human blood lymphocytes can be effected by T mu+ cells that have been primed previously by antigen in vitro for 6 days. While lacking the capacity to suppress the plaque-forming response directly, these primed T mu+ suppressor-inducer cells stimulate a subpopulation of unprimed T mu gamma- cells to differentiate to T gamma + suppressor-effector cells. The T mu+, T gamma+ and T mu gamma- subsets have been shown to be heterogeneous populations of cells. Therefore, the functionally defined T suppressor-inducer, -precursor and -effector cells were characterized by OKT monoclonal antibodies and by the capacity to form rosettes with autologous erythrocytes (ar+). Evidence will be presented that in vitro a T4+mu+ar- cell induces a T8+mu gamma-ar+ precursor cell to differentiate to a T8+gamma+ar- suppressor-effector cell. A similar T suppressor-effector cell can also be isolated directly from peripheral blood of normal donors.
