We demonstrate that IL-2-activated NK cells or lymphokine-activated killer cells recognize and kill syngeneic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells that have been activated by APCs. Induction with APC required TCR-specific Ag, and lysis was perforin mediated. Brefeldin A, which disrupts protein transport, inhibited the sensitivity, induced by activation. In BALB/c, expression of NKG2D ligands correlated with lysis and could be inhibited by brefeldin A. As well, addition of anti-NKG2D mAb to a killing assay completely abrogated lysis. Transduction of mouse NKG2D into a human NK cell line, YTSeco, conferred upon it the ability to kill activated BALB/c T cells, indicating that NKG2D is necessary for recognition. Our data provide a basis for studying a role for NK cells in T cell regulation.
