Individual variation in the frequency of HLA class II-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors
Abstract
The frequencies of HLA class II-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors (CTLp) were studied in number of unrelated individuals using a limiting dilution analysis system optimized for the detection of CD4+ CTLp. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were enriched for CD4+ T cells by immunomagnetic depletion of CD8+ T cells. In some allogeneic combinations high CTLp frequencies were obtained with no significant difference between PBMC and CD4-enriched PBMC populations. In other combinations CTLp frequencies in CD4-enriched PBMC were found to be at least twentyfold lower than in the starting, unfractionated PBMC, suggesting a predominance in these pairs of CD8+ CTLp. In addition there was variation in CTLp frequencies against the same set of HLA class II gene products between individuals, and variation in CTLp frequencies against different HLA class II gene products within individuals. The HLA class II specificity of the assay system was demonstrated unequivocally with detection of CTLp against HLA-DR1 expressed on a murine L cell transfectant.
