title: Selective lysis of target cells by interleukin-2-expanded peripheral blood mononuclear leukocyte clones.
abstract: The presence of distinct cytolytic subsets within interleukin-2-expanded peripheral blood leukocytes (IEL) cultures was demonstrated by clonal analysis. Thirty-seven IEL clones were isolated from two healthy blood donors; 21 destroyed both Daudi and K562 cell lines. Of those 21 clones, 1 clone could destroy autologous PBM, 7 clones could destroy fresh allogeneic ovarian carcinoma (OVA-CA) cells, and 6 clones could destroy normal autologous PBM and fresh OVA-CA cells. Twelve of the 37 clones destroyed only one of the four targets tested: 8 clones destroyed K562, 2 clones destroyed Daudi, and 1 clone each was selective for autologous PBM or OVA-CA. Of the remaining 4 clones, 1 destroyed OVA-CA and Daudi cells, 1 destroyed PBM and K562, 1 destroyed PBM and Daudi cells, and 1 destroyed PBM, Daudi, and OVA-CA. These results suggest that these functionally heterogeneous cytolytic clones may use different cell recognition or cytolytic mechanisms to enable these distinct and, at times, reciprocal patterns of target cell selectivity.
