| Abstract | The CD8 molecule on class I-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is believed to function as a coreceptor along with the alpha beta T-cell receptor. Whereas the alpha beta T-cell receptor recognizes polymorphic residues in the alpha 1/alpha 2 domains of the class I molecule, the CD8 molecule is believed to recognize monomorphic class I residues. Our previous experiments suggested that residue 227 in the alpha 3 domain of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules contributes to the determinant recognized by CD8. By using a panel of site-directed mutants of H-2Dd, this observation has been extended herein. Our findings indicate that for recognition by CD8-dependent CTLs, residue 227 must be either glutamic acid or aspartic acid and cannot be either basic or uncharged. However, the recognition by CD8-independent CTLs is unaffected by any of the substitutions at position 227 of H-2Dd. Similarly, alterations of other charged residues at positions 222, 223, and 229 have an analogous effect to substitution at residue 227, whereas substitutions at residues 192 and 232 do not affect the reactivity of CD8-dependent or CD8-independent CTLs. In addition, mutant H-2Dd molecules that are not recognized by CD8-dependent CTLs are unable to stimulate a primary CTL response, yet they can stimulate a secondary CD8-independent H-2Dd-specific CTL response. These findings suggest that CD8 recognition is obligatory for the priming of class I-dependent CTL responses. Since endogenous class I molecules were expressed by all of the transfected cell lines, these findings provide direct genetic evidence that CD8 and the alpha beta T-cell receptor must interact with the same class I molecule. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
