摘要:: Human thymocytes, activated T lymphocytes, and neuraminidase-treated T cells possess the distinct capacity of forming conjugates with various human cell lines. The present study investigated whether E receptors, which endow human T cells with their capacity to bind sheep red blood cells (SRBC), are involved in this phenomenon. Monoclonal antibodies to human T cells and various simple sugars were studied for their effect on the attachment of human T cells to target cells. A-22, a monoclonal antibody to the E receptor, inhibited the formation of E rosettes by T cells and SRBC, and reacted in immunofluorescent-staining assays with the majority of human thymocytes and peripheral T cells, and with T-cell lines capable of forming E rosettes. When human thymus cells were treated with A-22 antibody they showed a reduction of up to 70% in their capacity to attach to the GM-4762 lymphoblast cell line and the K-562 myeloid line. Antibody treatment of the target cells, rather than of the thymus cells, had no effect on the formation of conjugates between thymus cells and target cells. Treatment of thymus cells with various monoclonal antibodies to T cells which do not react with the E receptor had no inhibitory effect. The exposure of human thymus cells to various simple sugars (D-mannose, D-fucose, galactose, and lactose) markedly reduced their capacity of forming conjugates with target cells. Exposure of neuraminidase-treated peripheral blood lymphocytes and of activated T cells to A-22 antibody inhibited their attachment to human target cells. The present study suggests that E receptors play a role in the attachment of human thymus cells and activated T cells to other human cells, and raises the possibility that these T-cell receptors may be involved in the process of recognition of "self" structures by human T lymphocytes.
