In order to determine whether or not the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded restriction element used by a T cell in the recognition of its primary antigen affected its ability to be cross-reactively stimulated by MAS (a soluble product of Mycoplasma arthritidis), a panel of cloned, soluble antigen-specific I-A- and I-E-restricted T cells were tested for their ability to cross-reactivity recognize and respond to MAS. Initial studies indicated that all of the cloned T cells tested were capable of responding to MAS in the presence of genetically E.alpha.E.beta.-expressing (I-E+), but not E.alpha.E.beta.-non-expressing (I-E-) accessory cells (AC). However, subsequent studies demonstrated that the ability of most of these T cells clones to mount proliferative responses to MAS in the presence of I-E+ AC was dependent upon the presence of Lyt-1+2- T cells in the irradiated spleen cells which were used as AC sources. When T cell-depleted, I-E+ populations of spleen cells or an I-E+ antigen-presenting line (WEHI-5) were used as AC sources, only 6 of the 34 clones tested were found to be directly responsive to MAS. Subsequent to stimulation by MAS I-E product, these MAS-reactive T cell clones were capable of "recruiting" bystander T cells to proliferate. Finally, the ability of a given T cell clone to respond to MAS plus I-E product did not appear to be influenced by the restriction element used by that clone in its response to other antigens since both I-A-restricted T cell clones were responsive to MAS plus I-E in equivalent proportions. Thus, the data presented indicate that I-E-restricted T cell reactivity to MAS is a clonally expressed property of T cells that is independent of their conventional antigen specificities and MHC restriction patterns.
