Notes:
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were enriched for γδ T cells by immunomagnetic separation, stimulated with cells from an allogeneic donor, and cloned. T-lymphocyte clones (TLC) of the two major γδ T-cell subsets, BB3− (i.e. Vδ2+)and δTCSI+ (i.e. Vδ1/(D)/Jδ1). were obtained. In addition, one γδ TLC was BB3−δTCSI+. All of the BB3+ TLC showed strong cytotoxicity against various allogeneic tumour cell lines, such as Daudi and K562. The cytotoxicity against the tumour cell lines was modulated by MoAb against the γδ TcR. The BB3+ TLC were not cytotoxic against B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL). In contrast, the δTCSI+ TLC showed much lower cytotoxic activity against the tumour cell lines, but many were strongly cytotoxic against allogeneic B-LCL. Some of the δTCSI + TLC demonstrated HLA-specific cytotoxicity, while other δTCSI+ TLC had a more broad cytolytic activity against B-LCL. Thus, the two major subtypes of γδ T cells from this donor, as defined by MoAb BB3 and δTCSI, were distinct with respect to recognition specificity.
