The majority of peritoneal T lymphocytes have been shown to be CD8+ and to co-express CDw60. Expression of CDw60 characterizes CD8 T cells capable of secreting interleukin (IL)-4 and supporting IgG production by B cells. We analyzed at the clonal level the functional cytokine profile of CD8+ T lymphocytes from the normal human peritoneum. While the majority of the clones produced interferon (IFN)-gamma and exhibited high alloantigen-specific cytolytic activity, some clones secreted IL-4 and IL-5 but no detectable IFN-gamma. These Th2-type CD8+ T cell clones provided substantial B cell help for IgG and IgA synthesis and exhibited reduced cytolytic activity. Our results suggest that distinct subsets of CD8+ T cell may occur in different immune compartments.
