Abstract

A modified differential screening procedure was applied to analyze cDNA libraries of cloned helper T lymphocytes (Th) and cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). Negative and positive differential screening and RNA blot analysis were used to identify cDNA clones that were expressed preferentially in Th or CTL. Seven clones corresponded to previously described T-cell genes, and 16 additional types of cDNA clones were isolated, 9 from Th and 7 from CTL. Of these, 3 were expressed in both Th and CTL, 7 were expressed in only Th, and 6 only in CTL. These clones were analyzed for induction after stimulation by interleukin 2 or Con A or after stimulation of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). Three different patterns of expression were seen: induction only by Con A, induction by Con A and interleukin 2, and induction by Con A and TCR stimulation. The approach is potentially useful for analyzing paths of T-cell differentiation and detecting cDNA clones encoding unrecognized cytokines.
