Identification of a novel T cell surface disulfide-bonded dimer distinct from the alpha/beta antigen receptor

R Nagasawa, J Gross, O Kanagawa, K Townsend, LL Lanier, J Chiller and JP Allison

Hybridomas were prepared from the spleen of a BALB/c mouse immunized with EL-4 T lymphoma cells. One, designated A1, was found to secrete a monoclonal antibody that reacted with two T lymphoma cells of C57BL origin, EL-4 and C6VLB, but not with normal C57BL/6 splenocytes or thymocytes, C57BL/6 T cell clones, or other T or B lymphomas by complement-mediated cytotoxicity or indirect immunofluorescent staining. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) A1 precipitated a protein that migrated at 85 kD under nonreducing and 43 kD under reducing conditions. The fact that the antigen defined by MAb A1 was a disulfide- linked dimer, together with the essentially clone-specific distribution of the reactive epitope, raised the possibility that the antibody defined an epitope of the antigen receptor. However, several additional observations revealed that the antibody defined a distinct and novel T cell surface structure. MAb 124-40, previously shown to react with the antigen receptor of C6VLB cells, reacted with variants of C6VLB that failed to express the A1 epitope. Sequential immunoprecipitation indicated that MAb A1 and MAb 124-40 reacted with distinct molecular species on C6VLB cells. Endoglycosidase digestion showed that the structure reactive with MAb A1 was not derived from that reactive with MAb 124-40 by addition of N-linked oligosaccharide residues. Two- dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis of precipitates obtained from radioiodinated C6VLB cells with MAb 124-40 resolved the alpha and beta subunits of the antigen receptor. Similar analysis of precipitates obtained with MAb A1 revealed only a single basic chain under reducing conditions, although anomalous mobility suggestive of a second, more acidic chain was observed under nonreducing conditions. Two-dimensional maps of tyrosine-containing chymotryptic peptides of the proteins isolated with MAb A1 and MAb 124-40 were completely different, suggesting that the molecules shared no peptides and were distinct in primary structure. Finally, cross-linking studies performed with a cleavable reagent indicated that the A1 molecule, unlike the antigen receptor defined with MAb 124-40, was not associated with additional, T3-like structures on the surface of C6VLB cells. Although the MAb A1 was unreactive with normal cells in cytotoxicity or staining assays, a molecule of the appropriate size was immunoprecipitated in small amounts from lysates of radioiodinated normal spleen and thymus cells. These data indicate that MAb A1 defines a novel disulfide-linked T cell surface molecule distinct from the antigen receptor.
