title: H-2-restricted cytolysis of L cells doubly transformed with a cloned H-2Kb gene and cloned retroviral DNA.
abstract: We report the construction of target cells by the double transformation of mouse L cells with a cloned H-2Kb gene and molecular clones of Akv or Gross murine leukemia virus (MuLV) or the cloned gag gene of Akv MuLV. Cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated in BALB.B mice specific for Gross MuLV (closely related to Akv MuLV) kill these doubly transformed cells. This is a direct indication that a CTL subpopulation recognizes H-2Kb antigen in association with a viral antigen encoded by the gag gene of Gross MuLV.
