We have examined the requirements for the activation of normal T cells by two anti-T cell receptor antibody preparations, including a rabbit antiserum, R3497, which binds to all normal T cells, and a rat monoclonal antibody, KJ16-133, which binds to about 20% of T cells. The requirements for stimulation of T cells by both antibodies were similar. Soluble antibodies in the absence of accessory cells (AC) failed to induce either proliferation or the expression of IL 2 receptors, and the addition of either IL 2 or PMA failed to synergize with these soluble antibodies for an AC-independent proliferative response. Activation could only be achieved in the presence of Fc receptor-positive AC, although Fc receptor expression alone appeared not to be sufficient for AC activity because some Fc receptor-positive cells did not function in this capacity. Activation with anti-receptor antibody conjugated to Sepharose 4B beads could be demonstrated in the presence of some exogenous cofactors, such as IL 2 and PMA, but not in the presence of recombinant IL 1. When activation by soluble antibody plus AC was compared to activation by bead-conjugated antibody + recombinant IL 2, it was found that the former favored the stimulation of Lyt-2+ cells. The effects of the addition of anti-L3T4 monoclonal antibody was also examined in this system. Anti-L3T4 inhibited the response of L3T4+ cells when used in the presence of Ia+ as well as Ia- AC, and it also inhibited activation in a system in which KJ16-133 conjugated to Sepharose was used in the absence of AC. Because anti-L3T4 had an inhibitory effect in the presence of Ia- AC as well as in the absence of any AC, it is concluded that L3T4 does not necessarily function by interacting with Ia on the surface of AC, and may directly transmit down-regulatory signals when bound by anti-L3T4.
