Twenty-five allospecific monoclonal antibodies (mAb), produced in the A. TH. A.BY, or B10.S (7R) anti-A.TL combinations, were shown to recognize determinants organized in four spatially distinct polymorphic regions on the same I-Ak-encoded molecule(s). These reagents were used to assess the recognition of the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) determinants in a series of GAT-reactive A.TL T-cell clones exhibiting various restriction specificity or alloreactivity patterns. Of the proliferative responses of 13 cloned T cells, 12 responses were found to be inhibited similarly by the same set of mAbs.A hierarchy in the blocking effects of these reagents that could be correlated with the spatial organization of their determinants was observed. (i) All the mAbs defining the epitope region I (i.e., recognizing public Ia.1- or Ia.17-like determinants, presumably expressed on the A beta subunit) and some of those identifying new public determinants in the epitope region II profoundly inhibited these T-cell responses. (ii) Intermediate blocking was observed when mAbs recognizing public determinants in the epitope region III were used. (iii) Finally, among the mAbs that identified the epitope group IV, the Ia.19-specific mAb 39.J was inhibitory, whereas mAbs directed against private Ia.2-like determinants were not. By contrast, the GAT-specific proliferative response of the T-cell clone AT-20.1, which recognized its nominal antigen in an extensively cross-reactive MHC-restricted fashion, could only be inhibited by a subset of the mAbs recognizing epitopes in groups I and II, but not by those recognizing epitopes in groups III and IV. It was also shown that the same subset of I-Ak-and I-Au-reactive mAbs displayed similar blocking effects on the proliferation of two T-cell clones exhibiting dual specificity for I-Ak- and I-Au-restricting and/or I-Ak- and I-Au-alloactivating determinants. Finally, all the cloned T-cell responses examined were found to be inhibited by rat mAbs against the LFA.1 molecule or the murine equivalent of the human OKT4 differentiation antigen. These studies suggest that class II specific mAbs can impair proliferation of cloned T-cells by a mechanism(s) other than the masking of the T-cells' restriction determinants per se.
