ABSTRACT
Using a class-I-restricted T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice (Tgm), 2C (Valpha3.1/Vbeta 8.2, specific for L(d) + LSPFPFDL), the development and cytokine production of tg-TCR(+) NKT cells were analyzed. We found that CD8(+) or double negative (DN) NKT cells constituted a major population of NKT cells in the H-2(b/b) 2C Tgm (positive selecting background) or the H-2(b/d) 2C Tgm (negative selecting background), respectively. Virtually no NKT cells were generated in the H-2(k/k) 2C Tgm (neutral selecting background). CD8(+) NKT cells in the H-2(b/b) 2C Tgm expressed CD8alphabeta heterodimers, whereas those in the H-2(b/d) 2C Tgm expressed CD8alphaalpha homodimers. These findings suggest that development of a subpopulation of NKT cells is influenced by the H-2 molecules. Upon stimulation with anti-CD3 mAb, tg-TCR(+) NKT cells generated in the H-2(b/b) and H-2(b/d) backgrounds produced IFN-gamma, but not IL-4.
