Human lymphocyte function antigen (HLFA) is a cell surface protein defined by 2 monoclonal antibodies MHM23 and MHM24. It is present on both B and T lymphocytes but in greater amounts on the latter. Both antibodies precipitated antigen, from radiolabeled HSB-2 [human lymphoblastoid] cells, which ran as 2 chains on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 180 and 94 kDa [kilodalton]. Neither antibody inhibited binding of the other, indicating that distinct epitopes were recognized. Both antibodies were shown to inhibit HLA-restricted lysis of influenza virus-infected and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed target cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Blocking occurred at the level of the effector cells and in the presence of subsaturating concentrations of antibody. Both reagents also inhibited lysis of K562 [human leukemia] cells, mediated by natural killer cells. These blocking effects differ from the inhibitory effects of monoclonal anti-HLA ABC and anti-suppressor cytotoxic T cell antibodies which inhibit only HLA-restricted lysis when present in saturating amounts. HLFA may be involved in the nonspecific adherence or lytic functions of killer cells rather than specific antigen recognition.
