Spleen cells sensitized against trinitrophenyl (TNP)-modified stimulator cells displayed a cytotoxic effect against syngeneic TNP-modified but not dinitrophenyl (DNP)-modified target cells. The same finding was observed in the opposite direction; that is, effector cells sensitized against DNP-modified stimulator cells did not cross kill TNP-modified targets. The specificity of the anti-TNP effector cells was confirmed in a cold target competition assay. Presensitization in vivo with hapten-modified cells followed by rechallenge and testing in vitro did not alter the specificity of the response between the haptens. These data indicate that the receptor(s) on the cytotoxic T cell can distinguish between two closely related haptenic molecules.
对三硝基苯基(TNP)修饰的刺激细胞致敏的脾细胞,对同基因的TNP修饰的靶细胞具有细胞毒性作用,但对二硝基苯基(DNP)修饰的靶细胞则无此作用。在相反的实验中也观察到了相同的结果;也就是说,对DNP修饰的刺激细胞致敏的效应细胞不会交叉杀伤TNP修饰的靶细胞。在冷靶竞争试验中证实了抗TNP效应细胞的特异性。用半抗原修饰的细胞在体内进行预致敏,然后在体外再次激发和测试,并没有改变半抗原之间反应的特异性。这些数据表明,细胞毒性T细胞上的受体能够区分两种密切相关的半抗原分子。
