We have developed a cellular adhesion assay in which B lymphocytes expressing HLA class II antigens form rosettes with COS cells expressing high levels of cell surface CD4 upon transient transfection with a CDM8-CD4 plasmid construct. The assay is specific, quantitative, and overcomes the difficulties encountered with a previously described system using an SV40 viral vector. Rosette formation was inhibited by a series of CD4- and HLA-DR-specific antibodies, as well as by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) gp 120, and a synthetic peptide derived from part of its binding site for CD4 (amino acid residues 414-434), but not by a variety of other effectors, including several soluble CD4 derivatives. The comparison of this pattern of inhibition with those observed in other systems further emphasizes the great similarity, but incomplete identity, in the CD4 binding sites for HLA class II antigens and HIV gp120, and supports a model in which CD4 is considered as an allosteric servomodulator of T-cell adhesion and function which probably is induced to interact with HLA class II antigens when associated with the Tcr/CD3 complex.
我们开发了一种细胞黏附试验,其中表达HLA II类抗原的B淋巴细胞与通过用CDM8-CD4质粒构建体瞬时转染而表达高水平细胞表面CD4的COS细胞形成玫瑰花结。该试验具有特异性、定量性,并且克服了使用SV40病毒载体的先前描述系统所遇到的困难。玫瑰花结的形成受到一系列CD4和HLA-DR特异性抗体的抑制,也受到人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)gp120以及源自其CD4结合位点一部分(氨基酸残基414-434)的合成肽的抑制,但不受包括几种可溶性CD4衍生物在内的多种其他效应物的抑制。将这种抑制模式与在其他系统中观察到的模式进行比较,进一步强调了HLA II类抗原和HIV gp120的CD4结合位点具有很大的相似性,但并非完全相同,并支持一种模型,其中CD4被认为是T细胞黏附和功能的变构伺服调节因子,当与Tcr/CD3复合物相关联时,可能被诱导与HLA II类抗原相互作用。
