Human T lymphocyte clones (TLC) specific for type A (A/Texas/1/77) influenza virus and maintained in continuous culture with T cell growth factor, were analyzed to define the cellular specificity pattern of virus recognition. A panel of TLC were stimulated with strains of serologically characterized type A influenza subtypes. Five TLC recognized all the viral subtypes; the remaining clones recognized only subtypes that shared serologically defined determinants with the immunizing subtype. In addition, the 11 TLC were analyzed for their fine antigenic specificity by using the purified viral components hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), matrix protein (MP), and nucleoprotein (NP). Five TLC proliferated in response to NA, four to MP, one to HA, and one to NP. None of the clones responded to the unrelated B strain influenza virus, B/Singapore. Furthermore, the fine specificity of an MP-reactive TLC was confirmed by subcloning.
