Activation of peripheral blood T cells, and the leukemic T cell line Jurkat, as measured by mobilization of intracellular calcium, by an anti-TCR antibody is blocked by mAb (T191) to the leukocyte common Ag (CD45). T191 also blocked down-regulation of the CD3-TCR complex induced by an anti-CD3 mAb. Vanadate, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, partially blocks the effect of T191 and restored mobilization of intracellular calcium. Assays of the immunoprecipitates of T191 and CD45 from both Jurkat-BM1 and peripheral T cells showed that the immune complexes had intrinsic phosphatase activity. A parallel immunoprecipitate using a mAb (4-10) against HLA class I showed no such activity. Further analysis of the T191 immunocomplex revealed activity against phosphotyrosine, p-nitrophenylphosphate, and [32P-poly-glu-tyr, but not against phosphoserine. Phosphatase activity was inhibited by Vanadate, but not by Zn2+ or F-. These results show that CD45 is a phosphotyrosine phosphatase, and strongly suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is critically involved in activation of T cells through the TCR-CD3 complex.
