Mouse monoclonal antibodies were produced against MT-2 cell line derived from adult T-cell leukemia or human T-cell leukemia virus-rich fraction therefrom. Two IgG1 antibodies, Ta60a and Ta60b, were found to be reactive not only with cell lines derived from adult T-cell leukemia or cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, but also with activated peripheral blood lymphocytes, suggesting the similarity of Ta60 antigen group to Tac antigen which is present on interleukin 2 receptor. Thus, the relationship among these antigens was studied. Two Ta60 antibodies and Tac antibody immunoprecipitated the molecule with almost identical electrophoretic mobility, approximately a Mr 60,000 antigen from [3H]glucosamine-labeled activated peripheral blood lymphocytes or MT-2, MT-1, or ATN-1 cells from adult T-cell leukemia and a Mr 53,000 antigen from HUT-102 cells derived from cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Further, Tac antibody was found to immunoprecipitate Ta60b molecule on 125I-labeled MT-2 cells by sequential immunoprecipitation, indicating that these two epitopes are on the same molecule. Antibody binding inhibition assays with either 3H-labeled Ta60a or Ta60b antibody demonstrated that Ta60a and Tac are the same epitope, but different from Ta60b. Thus, at least two epitopes were demonstrated to be present on interleukin 2 receptor molecule. However, Ta60b antibody showed almost no blocking effects on proliferation of an interleukin-2-dependent cell line, whereas Ta60a antibody did. Various hematopoietic tumor cells were typed with these two antibodies, but the results with Ta60b antibody were described, because they showed a similar specificity. Ta60b antibody reacted with all adult T-cell leukemia cases, but did not react with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, or mature T-cell lymphoma. Interestingly, 3 of 12 acute myeloblastic leukemia and 2 of 5 chronic myelocytic leukemia in blastic crisis showed positive reactions. One-third of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and B-cell lymphoma as well as a few B-cell lines were also weakly reactive with this antibody. A part of the results with direct tests was confirmed by the absorption tests. The results obtained demonstrated the presence of Ta60b on a certain fraction of malignant hematopoietic cells of other than T-cell origin.

The effects of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] on proliferation and de novo DNA synthesis were studied in the following established human leukemia cell lines: lymphoblastic T-cell lines HPB-ALL, CCRF-HSB-2, p12/lchikawa, and HPB-MLT; adult T-cell leukemia- (ATL) and human lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-infected T-cell lines HUT102, HUT-102B2, MT-1, MT-2, MJ, C2/MJ, KH-2, KH-2Lo, HPB-CTL-1, and ATN-C1; ATL-derived B-cell lines ATL-BK9 and ATL-BK10; lymphoblastic B-cell line Daudi; and myelocytic-monocytic lineage cell lines HL-60 and U937. 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited proliferation and de novo DNA synthesis of phytohemagglutinin-P-activated T-cells and certain established HTLV-I-positive T-cells. However, it did not inhibit immature lymphoblastic T- and B-cells or ATL-derived B-cells. The degree of inhibition depended on the dose of 1,25(OH)2D3 and the heterogeneity of the established HTLV-I-positive T-cells. KH-2 and subclone KH-2Lo were markedly inhibited, and HPB-CTL-1 was moderately inhibited. Marked inhibition of DNA synthesis in KH-2Lo cells was observed in the proliferative phase of the cell cycle. No inhibition of KH-2Lo proliferation or expression of interleukin-2 and transferrin receptor was noted after removal of 1,25(OH)2D3 from the culture medium. 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced multinucleated cell formation of various HTLV-I-positive T-cell lines and TPA-induced HTLV-I p19 expression in KH-2Lo cells.
