Influenza-specific human-T-cell clones, proliferating in the presence of virus-infected cells with restriction by class II molecules and displaying class II-restricted CTL activity or specific helper activity in antibody synthesis, have been analyzed for antigenic specificities. All of them were obtained by in vitro stimulation against influenza A/Texas virus. In all cases the virus specificity appeared identical in cytolytic and proliferative responses. Three of the clones were broadly cross-reactive, recognizing all or almost all type A influenza strains. The three remaining clones were subtype specific when tested with human strains and recognized the surface glycoproteins of influenza virus. One of these lines reacted with an epitope of the neuraminidase N2 while the other two recognized the hemagglutinin H3. By using a large panel of mammalian and avian influenza strains, it can be demonstrated that hemagglutinin-specific human T cells can recognize a cross-reacting determinant shared by H3 and H4 subtypes of hemagglutinin which has never been detected with antibodies.
