We have characterized a functional T cell receptor (TcR) delta transcript in a Ti gamma A+ human cloned cell line derived from peripheral blood. This cDNA includes a novel V gene (V-AB12), whose expression was initially studied in a series of TcR gamma/delta+ clones. Nine Ti gamma A+ clones derived independently from distinct donors have been tested: each of them was found to possess a unique V-AB12/J-IDP2 5.5-kb Eco RI rearrangement, which was constantly transcribed. Surface expression of the protein encoded by this unique rearranged gene was demonstrated by immunoprecipitations performed on three Ti gamma A+ polyclonal cell lines using a specific rabbit heteroantiserum. Further analysis strongly suggested that a monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated anti-BB3, detects a V-AB12-encoded antigenic determinant on the cell surface. Double-color immunofluorescence analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes from ten donors indicated that most BB3+ cells are recognized by anti-Ti gamma A mAb. In previous studies, we have shown that a majority of TcR gamma/delta+ peripheral T cells expresses a gamma chain including V9 (Ti gamma A) and most frequently JP-encoded peptides. Given the present results on the delta chain, it can be concluded that, in many individuals, a predominant fraction (V gamma 9+/V-AB12+) of circulating CD3+ TcR alpha/beta- T lymphocytes expresses a receptor with little, if any, combinatorial diversity.
