AbstractT lymphocytes can be activated in a variety of ways, including occupancy of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) complex or cross-linking of certain cell-surface molecules with antibody. Two of the earliest events seen after stimulation are the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate to inositol trisphosphate (Ins P3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), and an increase in the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). Later, the cell secretes lymphokines and expresses lymphokine receptors. It has been postulated that the products of the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositols (Ptd Ins) and fluctuations in [Ca2+]i are critical ’second messengers’, transmitting the signals for the initiation of the later events. We have examined the relationship between these second messengers and the secretion of IL-2 in a murine T cell variant whose missing TCR complex had been reconstituted by gene transfer. Surprisingly, although the IL-2 responses of the transfectant could not be distinguished from the original line expressing the same TCR, Ptd Ins hydrolysis and the increase in [Ca2+]i were substantially reduced or absent in the reconstituted cell. It is therefore possible to dissociate these early biochemical changes from a late biological response, raising questions about the putative causal relationship of these events.
