We describe a murine cDNA, designated Early T lymphocyte activation 1 (ETA-1) which is abundantly expressed after activation of T cells. Eta-1 encodes a highly acidic secreted product having structural features of proteins that bind to cellular adhesion receptors. The Eta-1 gene maps to a locus on murine chromosome 5 termed Ric that confers resistance to infection by Rickettsia tsutsugamushi (RT), an obligate intracellular bacterium that is the etiological agent for human scrub typhus. With one exception, inbred mouse strains that expressed the Eta-1a allele were resistant to RT infection (RicR), and inbred strains expressing the Eta-1b allele were susceptible (RicS). These findings suggest that Eta-1 is the gene inferred from previous studies of the Ric locus (5). Genetic resistance to RT infection is associated with a strong Eta-1 response in vivo and inhibition of early bacterial replication. Eta-1 gene expression appears to be part of a surprisingly rapid T cell-dependent response to bacterial infection that may precede classical forms of T cell-dependent immunity.

SUMMARYT lymphocytes are critical for effective immunity and the ability to study their behavior in synthetic media in vitro facilitates major discoveries in their development, function, and fate. However, the composition of human plasma differs from synthetic media and we hypothesized that these differences could have important effects on cell physiology. We therefore compared T lymphocyte activation in human plasma-like medium (HPLM) to RPMI supplemented with dialyzed FBS (RPMIdFBS) and found that it entrained markedly different transcriptional responses. We also found that the concentration of calcium in RPMIdFBS is six-fold lower than HPLM causing altered T cell activation which could be reversed by calcium addition. Thus, investigators should be cognizant of differences between commonly used media formulations and HPLM which is based on the in vivo plasma environment as these could profoundly affect their experimental results. Physiologic media may be a valuable new way to study immune cells in culture.
