CD8+ T cells control immune responses, and recent studies suggest that this regulation is, in part, specifically directed towards TCR structures expressed by CD4+ cells. To develop a system to study the role of the TCR in regulatory interactions, we isolated clones of CD4+ cells expressing identified TCR V beta chains. These CD4+ clones were used to stimulate and expand autologous CD8+ cells, which kill the inducing CD4+ clone as well as independently isolated autologous CD4+ clones sharing the same TCR V beta as the inducing cell but not CD4+ T cells expressing different V beta TCRs. This V beta-specific cytotoxicity is dependent on the state of activation of the target cells and is not inhibited by an anti-class I monoclonal antibody, W6/32. We envision that V beta-specific CD8+ T cells of this type may regulate immune responses by direct interaction with antigen-activated CD4+ cells.
