Monoclonal antibodies were prepared to anti-HLA-DR cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and screened for inhibition of CTL-mediated killing. Binding of monoclonal antibodies to 4 types of molecules, LFA-1, LFA-2, LFA-3 and HLA-DR inhibited killing, suggesting that these molecules partricipate in the CTL-target cell interaction. The antigens were characterized by immunoprecipitation, crosslinking, sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunofluorescence flow cytometry. The LFA-1 antigen contains .alpha. and .beta. polypeptide chains of MW 177,000 and 95,000 that are noncovalently associated in an .alpha.1.beta.1 structure. It it present on both B and T lymphocytes and marks subpopulations that differ in quantitative expression. Human LFA-1 appears to be the homolog of mouse LFA-1. Human LFA-2 is of MW 49,000 with a minor component of MW 36,000. It is expressed on CTL lines but not on a B-cell line and in peripheral blood preferentially on T lymphocytes. Human LFA-3 is of MW 60,000 and is expressed on both B and T lymphocytes.
