The regulatory function of peripheral blood CD4 T cells correlates with the presence or absence of the membrane glycoprotein recognized by anti-Leu-8 antibody; CD4,Leu8- T cells help Ig synthesis and CD4,Leu-8+ T cells suppress Ig synthesis. In contrast to CD4 T cells from the peripheral blood and organized gut-associated lymphoid tissues, intestinal lamina propria CD4 T cells were found to have diminished expression of the Leu-8 Ag. Therefore, studies were performed to determine whether the decreased expression of the Leu-8 Ag on lamina propria CD4 T cells correlates with a difference in the ability of peripheral blood and lamina propria CD4 T cells to regulate PWM-stimulated Ig synthesis. At high T cell to non-T cell ratios, the helper function of lamina propria CD4 T cells was significantly higher than that of peripheral blood CD4 T cells. When CD4 T cells were incubated with anti-Leu-8 antibody, the suppressor function of peripheral blood CD4 T cells was increased, but lamina propria CD4 T cells did not suppress Ig synthesis. No difference was found between the helper function of CD4,Leu-8- T cells and the suppressor function of CD4, Leu-8+ T cells isolated from either the peripheral blood or the lamina propria. Thus, the difference in the regulatory function of CD4 T cells from the peripheral blood and the lamina propria is due to the quantitative difference in CD4,Leu-8+ T cells in these sites. Consequently, the intestinal lamina propria is a site enriched in CD4,Leu-8- T cells which predominantly mediate help for Ig synthesis.
