A novel antigenic cell surface protein associated with T200 is involved in the post-activation stage of human NK cell-mediated lysis.

A monoclonal antibody, 9.1C3, was used to investigate the mechanism of natural killer (NK) cell-mediated lysis. In addition to blocking NK cell function, the antibody blocked antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against the K562 target cell at the effector cell level. The stage at which 9.1C3 antibody inhibited cytolysis was established with a Ca++ pulse technique, whereby it was shown that the antibody inhibited killing at a discrete step after the Ca++-dependent programming for lysis. The 9.1C3 antigen appeared to be associated with the T200 glycoprotein complex. Thus the 66 and 77 Kd proteins detected by 9.1C3 were also precipitated with a monoclonal antibody to T200, and in sequential immunoprecipitations, 9.1C3 antibody removed these bands from immunoprecipitates with antibody to T200. Also, in co-modulation studies, it was found that antibody to T200 co-capped the 9.1C3 antigen but that capping with 9.1C3 antibody did not induce co-modulation of the T200 antigen. Expression of the 9.1C3 and T200 antigens on different cell types, however, was not identical, and the 9.1C3 antibody did not immunoprecipitate high m.w. proteins in the region of 200 Kd. Functionally, in NK cell killing studies, the antibody to T200 used alone did not block but was synergistic with the 9.1C3 antibody. The differential effect of the enzymes pronase and trypsin on the cell surface expression of the 9.1C3 and T200 antigens reflected the ability of these enzymes to inhibit NK cell killing. These data suggest that the 9.1C3 antigen participates in a late event in the cytolytic pathway.
