IgG or IgM monoclonal antibodies reactive with different determinants on the molecular complex bearing Lyt 2 antigen block T cell-mediated cytolysis in the absence of complement

M Sarmiento et al. J Immunol. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

Five rat monoclonal antibodies have been derived that express specificities for determinants present on the molecular complex bearing the Lyt 2 antigen. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of 125I-labeled polypeptides precipitated by each of these antibodies reveal 3 components (150,000, 75,000, and 33,000 daltons), and 2 components (44,000 and 33,000 daltons) when analyzed under nonreducing and reducing conditions, respectively. Two of these antibodies are IgG and are specific for the Lyt 2.2 determinant; the other 3 are IgM and react with determinants other than Lyt 2.2, which are nonpolymorphic. Each of the 5 antibodies can block the cytolytic activities of 5-day MLC cells or of cloned cytolytic T cells in the absence of C. Treatment of responding spleen cells with any of these antibodies and C inhibits the generation of cytolytic activity in MLC.
