To investigate the role of Lyt-2 and Thy-1 in cytolysis, we have generated, by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis and selection, variants of the cloned cytolytic T lymphocyte line L3 that specifically lack either Lyt-2 or Thy-1. An analysis of these variants indicates that neither Lyt-2 nor Lyt-3 is responsible for the lethal hit, but suggests that Lyt-2 and/or Lyt-3 are required for an antigen receptor functional in cytolysis. The data also suggest that the expression of Lyt-3 on the cell surface is not independent of the expression of Lyt- 2. Finally the data indicate the Thy-1 plays no role in cytolysis.
