title: T cell activation via the CD2 molecule is associated with protein kinase C translocation from the cytosol to the plasma membrane.
abstract: T cell activation via the CD2 molecule involves phospholipase C and phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Here we demonstrate that the triggering of subclones of the human T leukemia Jurkat cell line by anti-CD2 as well as anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies is able to induce activation (i.e. translocation from cytosol to cell membrane) of protein kinase C (PKC), which is dependent on the formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol from inositol 4-5-bisphosphate. The kinetics of PKC translocation parallels the rise in intracellular calcium following both CD2 and CD3 stimulations. These results further demonstrate that CD2 and CD3 activation pathways use similar signal transduction mechanisms.
