A monoclonal H-2~-specific antibody markedly inhibits target-cell lysis mediated by two influenza virus A/JAP/57-specific, H-2Ka-restricted cloned CTL lines. Three other A/JAP/57-specific, H-2a-restricted CTL clones (two of which are also restricted to H-2K a in target-cell recognition) are only min

โฆ Synopsis
A series of 16 H-2b-restricted, A influenza virus-specific cytotoxic T-cell clones are described and characterized. One is K b restricted, the others D b restricted. The factors governing K b or D b restriction patterns seen in the mixed populations from which clones are derived are investigated. The Kb-restricted clone does not recognize K b mutant bml and influenza and all 15 Db-restricted clones do not recognize D b mutant bin14 and A influenza virus; these results are discussed in the light of findings in a variety of other viral systems. Representative K b-and Db-restricted clones were used to assess the functional properties of cloned cosmids containing either K b or D b genes expressed in transformed L-cells (k haplotype). The expression products of both cosmids functioned efficiently as mutually exclusive restriction elements for A influenza virus recognition.

Anti-viral cytotoxic T cells (Tc) recognize virus only in conjunction with class I MHC molecules in man and mouse (Zinkernagel and Doherty 1979). Antibodies directed to the target cell H-2 molecule inhibit T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, while no inhibition is observed when anti-H-2 binds to the Tc an
