A population of CD4+ T cells with TCR Β-chain without TCR a-chain (CD4+, ΒΒ T cells) producing Th2-type cytokines increased in the mucosal and peripheral tissues of TCR α-chain deficient mice with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Analysis of TCR-Β immunoprecipitates by two-dimensional electrophoresis and RT-PCR revealed TCR of the CD4+ T cells was a homodimer of TCR Β-chains. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analyses of TCR VΒ-chain transcripts of the ΒΒ T cells revealed monoclonal to oligoclonal accumulation of the cells in the colon, suggesting clonal expansion of the mucosal ΒΒ T cells upon the stimulation with gut-derived antigens. The homodimer of TCR Β-chains on the ΒΒ T cells was a biologically functional receptor that transduced activation signals provided by MHC-class II-associated peptidic antigens and superantigens. Treatments of the mutant mice with mAb against TCR Β or IL-4 suppressed the onset of IBD. These findings suggest that the generation of oligoclonal Th2-type ΒΒ T cells plays a critical role for the development of IBD.
