pubmed:abstractText
Human lymphocytes, stimulated in vitro for 6 days with x-irradiated or glutaraldehyde-treated autologous Epstein-Barr (EB) virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL), are cytotoxic for autologous and allogeneic EB+ LCLs as well as for several EB- cell lines that are also susceptible to lysis by interferon-activated natural killer (NK) cells. To determine whether the apparent nonspecific lysis mediated by LCL-stimulated cells is due to a mixture of effector cells directed against different target cells, advantage was taken of our recent finding that monoclonal antibody OKT8 reacts with human cytotoxic T lymphocytes but not with NK cells or NK-like cells generated in mixed leukocyte cultures. The depletion of OKT8+ cells from LCL-stimulated cultures by treatment with OKT8 and complement abolished or markedly depleted cytotoxicity against all EB+ target cells tested, whereas cytotoxicity against EB-, NK-sensitive cell lines including K562, MOLT-4 and HSB-2 was not or only minimally reduced. These results indicate that stimulation with autologous LCL results in the generation of OKT8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes that lyse EB virus-transformed LCL and OKT8- NK-like cells that lyse EB-, NK-sensitive cells.
