Human peripheral blood lymphocytes from an HLA-Dw1,3 individual were primed in vitro with influenza A virus (A/Texas/1-77/x-49) and subsequently cloned by limiting dilution in TCGF. Of the 96 TLCs originally obtained, nine were characterized in detail. TLCs were antigen specific, responding to influenza A virus, not to influenza B, TGAL, GAT, tetanus toxoid, or KLH, and only when antigen was presented by cells unable to form rosettes with AET-treated SRBC. Presentation of antigen by unseparated PBL often resulted in significant "back stimulation," probably via production of growth factors. The MHC requirements for the induction of TLC proliferation were analyzed. Of four representative clones analyzed, three required Dw1;DR1 compatibility for successful presentation of viral antigens by a panel of antigen-presenting cells. In contrast, one TLC showed an unusual pattern of response that could not be correlated to a particular HLA haplotype. Monoclonal anti-T cell antibody analysis of the surface phenotype of two TLCs maintained in continuous culture for 5 mo indicated that they were OKT3+, 4+, and 8-, consistent with an inducer/helper phenotype. To confirm the clonal nature of TLCs, data on the functional properties of TLC subclones are also presented.
