Functional modifications of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte T200 glycoprotein recognized by monoclonal antibodies

AbstractPlasma membrane glycoproteins of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are involved in the binding to and subsequent destruction of appropriate target cells. The electrophoretic profile of surface proteins of mature CTLs, particularly those of high relative molecular mass (Mr), is markedly different from that of naive peripheral T cells or non-cytolytic T cells, suggesting the possible involvement of these molecules in the activation of CTLs and/or in the lytic process itself. By generating monoclonal antibodies to cell-surface proteins of CTL clones, we have now detected CTL-specific modifications in one of these high-Mr membrane proteins, T200. Although forms of T200 are found on a wide variety of cell types, the neoantigenic determinants recognized by our antibodies are present exclusively on activated T cells and in high concentrations only on CTLs. Furthermore, the expression of the modifications recognized by our antibodies is influenced by soluble factors and also seems to have functional significance, as monoclonal antibodies specific for these novel epitopes block cytolytic activity.
