CD72 is a 45 000Mrmouse B-cell surface glycoprotein involved in B-cell proliferation and differentiation. Expression of mouse CD72 is thought to be restricted to the B-cell lineage. We recently demonstrated that the monoclonal antibodies K10.6 and B9.689, previously defined as recognizing the mouse lymphocyte alloantigens Ly-19.2 and Ly-32.2, respectively, recognize specific alleles ofCD72. Early studies using antibody-mediated cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that K10.6 and B9.689 react with B cells, several T-cell lines, and a subset of peripheral T cells. These findings led us to consider the possibility that CD72 might also be expressed on a subset of T cells. In this report we demonstrate that CD72 is constitutively expressed on a fraction of peripheral T cells isolated from strains of mice expressing theCD72ballele, but not theCD72aorCD72calleles. Three days after activating T cells with concanavalin A or plate-bound CD3-specific mAb, CD72 is expressed on a larger fraction of peripheral T cells as well as a fraction of thymocytes from mouse strains expressing theCD72ballele. CD72 is expressed on both the CD4+and CD8+thymocyte and peripheral T-cell subsets. No CD72 expression is detected on activated thymocytes or peripheral T cells from mouse strains expressing theCD72aorCD72calleles. Expression ofCD72bon peripheral T cells was confirmed by northern blot analysis demonstratingCD72mRNA expression. These results demonstrate that CD72 expression is not restricted to B lineage cells in mouse strains expressing theCD72ballele; instead, a population of T lineage cells in these mice also expresses CD72.
