We examined the expression of high-affinity interleukin (IL)-2 receptors (IL-2R) as well as Tac and HLA-DR antigens on peripheral blood (PB) T cells from 11 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 8 healthy controls induced in the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR). The proportion of HLA-DR- and Tac-bearing T cells and expression of these activation antigens were higher in patients relative to controls (P less than 0.01) in freshly isolated unstimulated PB mononuclear cells. AMLR stimulation of RA T cells failed to induce an increase in the proportion of HLA-DR and Tac-bearing T cells which was observed in health controls. After AMLR stimulation the number of high-affinity IL-2R were significantly lower in RA patients compared with controls (P less than 0.01). The number of high-affinity IL-2R on patient T cells correlated strongly with AMLR reactivity as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation (r = 0.821, P = 0.002). The results suggest that the AMLR defect in RA may result from impaired generation of high-affinity IL-2R.
