The specificity of interactions between mitogenic and non-mitogenic lectins and disulfide-linked cell surface receptors on human lymphocytes was explored. Lysates (Nonidet-P40) of surface-radioiodinated tonsil lymphocytes and T lymphoblastoid cells (HPB-ALL) wer absorbed with lectin-agarose derivatives (or bovine serum albumin, BSA-agarose) or immunoprecipitated with appropriate monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Lectin eluates and solubilized immunoprecipitates were analyzed by two-dimensional (nonreduced/reduced) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Radiolabeled polypeptides were visualized by autoradiography. Among the various lectin-binding polypeptides, two disulfide-linked heterodimers (II and III) and two apparent homodimers (I and IV) are bound by pea lectin, concanavalin A and lentil lectin on tonsil lymphocytes; II, III and IV were bound both leukoagglutinating (L)- and erythroagglutinating (E)-phytohemagglutinins from Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA). Pokeweed mitogen recognize only II and III. These molecules are weakly bound by peanut agglutinin, soybean agglutinin; Ulex europaeus agglutinin-I, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin, Vicia villosa agglutinin and Sophora japonica agglutinin, but are not bound by Helix pomatia agglutinin or BSA-agarose. Heterodimer II (82-88 kDa), comprised of 50-55-kDa and 40-43 kDa subunits, probably represents the .alpha./.beta. T cell antigen receptor (TcR .alpha./.beta.). Heterodimer III (64-72 kDa), comprised of 41-kDa and 37-kDa subunits, may represent TcR.gamma.. The homodimers, I (120-130 kDa) and IV (55-61 kDa), comprised of 55-60 kDa and 30-kDa polypeptides, respectively, have apparently not been previously described. Evidence that H1-2D4, a mAb directed against the antigen receptor on HPB-ALL cells, and E-PHA interact with a common molecule includes; (a) immunoprecipitation of TcR with H1-2D4 from the glycopeptide fraction specifically eluted from insolubilized lectin with N-acetylgalactosamine; and (b) adsorption of TcR from a solubilized H1-2D4 immunoprecipitate by E-PHA-agarose. Recognition of CD3 by E-PHA is indicated by immunoprecipitation of CD3 protein by UCHT1 from the glycopeptide fraction specifically eluted from E-PHA. The results are consistent with the view that mitogenic lectins interact with certain disulfide-linked molecules on human lymphocytes, including the TcR .alpha./.beta. and perhaps TcR.gamma.; while some nonmitogenic lectins also recognize these receptors, the interactions is of low affinity.
