Although the existence of autoreactive T cells has been widely reported in mice and in guinea pigs, a similar phenomenon is poorly documented in man. Here we report the study of three human autoreactive T cell clones isolated during immunization of HLA-DRw13 donors either against influenza A/Texas virus or against allogeneic cells. These clones are specific for autologous HLA-class II specificities either common to all HLA-DRw13 molecules or restricted to the HLA-DR products specific for the DW19 subtype of HLA-DRw13. They are also cytotoxic and they have the same specificity when tested for lytic activity or in proliferation assays. Furthermore, they are also able to help autologous B cells to polyclonally produce Ig. The possible implication of such clones in regulatory mechanisms involving HLA-class II molecules is discussed.
