Key events of T and B cell biology are regulated through direct interaction with APC or target cells. Trogocytosis is a process whereby CD4(+) T, CD8(+) T, and B cells capture their specific membrane-bound Ag through the acquisition of plasma membrane fragments from their cellular targets. With the aim of investigating whether the ability to trigger trogocytosis was a selective property of Ag receptors, we set up an assay that allowed us to test the ability of many different cell surface molecules to trigger trogocytosis. On the basis of the analysis of a series of surface molecules on CD4(+) T, CD8(+) T, and B cells, we conclude that a set of cell type-specific surface determinants, including but not limited to Ag receptors, do trigger trogocytosis. On T cells, these determinants include components of the TCR/CD3 as well as that of coreceptors and of several costimulatory molecules. On B cells, we identified only the BCR and MHC molecules as potentials triggers of trogocytosis. Remarkably, latrunculin, which prevents actin polymerization, impaired trogocytosis by T cells, but not by B cells. This was true even when the same Abs were used to trigger trogocytosis in T or B cells. Altogether, our results indicate that although trogocytosis is performed by all hemopoietic cells tested thus far, both the receptors and the mechanisms involved can differ depending on the lineage of the cell acquiring membrane materials from other cells. This could therefore account for the different biological consequences of Ag capture via trogocytosis proposed for different types of cells.
