Research Abstract	免疫制御の分子機構を、MHCを中心として、自己・非自己ペプチドのMHC分子への結合、T細胞の機能ならびにサイトカインネットワークの面より総合的に解析することを目的とした。まずHLA遺伝子領域の構造を詳細に解析するとともに、DP座のセントロメア側に存在する単球抗原遺伝子産物を認識すると考えられる単クローン抗体を作製し、これが新しい接着分子の遺伝子であることを見出した。HLA-B52分子およびDR4分子に結合する自己ペプチドのアミノ酸配列モチーフを抽出法および質量分析により決定した。さらに非自己ペプチドとHLA分子との結合およびT細胞の活性化に関わるモチーフの同定を目的として、溶連菌M蛋白とDP9分子、花粉抗原とDR9分子、インスリンとDR4分子の相互作用を、それぞれ合成ペプチドを用いた系で解析し、HLA分子の座位間ならびに対立遺伝子間で全く異なる結合モチーフが使用されることを示した。一方、マウスHSP60特異的gammadeltaリンパ球のT細胞レセプターが限られること、表面マーカーの発現からメモリー型と考えられること、リステリア等の感染症の初期防御に関わることを明らかにした。またdelta鎖遺伝子ノックアウトマウスでは、マクロファージのTNF産生誘導能が阻害されるがgammadelta型されるがgammadelta型リンパ球との共培養で回復することを見出した。マウスおよびヒトでは末梢リンパ球の1〜2%がCD4^-CD8^-T細胞であるが、この大半が特定のValphaおよびJalpha遺伝子を発現していること、またこれらは胸腺外組織(肝・骨髄・消化管など)で分化することを証明した。一方、GM-CSF、IL-3、IL-4およびIL-5の活性化T細胞における発現誘導に関わると考えられるNF-AT活性を有する転写因子をそれぞれ精製し、対応する数種のcDNAクローンを単離しその構造を決定した。
