Flow cytometric analysis was used to compare the expression of adhesion molecules on human CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in isolated blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) in whole blood samples and in cryopreserved MNC preparations. Examination of MNCs revealed that the CD11b and CD11c components of the beta2 integrins were preferentially expressed on CD8+ T cells, whereas CD62L was present on more CD4+ T cells. All CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were positive for CD11a but the CD8+ population had a higher intensity of expression of CD11a and also CD11b. Virtually identical results were obtained with T cells in whole blood samples. In relation to the beta1 integrins, the only difference between isolated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was that the latter subset had a greater proportion of cells bearing CD49d. The naive cell marker CD45RA was present on the majority of CD8+ T cells whereas CD45RA and the memory marker CD45RO were evenly distributed within the CD4+ T cell subset. Although cryopreservation of lymphocytes did not modify the expression of beta1 and beta2 integrins it produced a marked reduction in the percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells bearing CD62L. With regard to endothelial interactions, it appears that cryopreserved lymphocytes are suitable for inclusion in studies of integrin-mediated adhesion but not for those relating to tethering or recognition of addressins on high endothelial venules. Differences in adhesion molecule expression between CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes could underlie the selective extravasation of these subsets into sites of infection and inflammation.
