REDIRECTION OF CELLULAR IMMUNITY BY RECEPTOR CHIMERAS

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of directing a cellular response in a mammal by expressing in a cell of the mammal at least two chimeric receptors which trigger the specific recognition and destruction of an infective agent, a cell infected with an infective agent, a tumor or cancerous cell, or an autoimmune-generated cell. One of the expressed chimeric receptors includes an extracellular portion which is capable of specifically recognizing and binding the target cell or target infective agent and an intracellular or transmembrane portion which is capable of signalling the therapeutic cell to destroy a receptor-bound target cell or a receptor-bound target infective agent; and the second chimeric receptor includes an extracellular portion which is capable of specifically recognizing and binding the target cell or target infective agent and an intracellular portion which is derived from CD28. Also disclosed are pairs of useful chimeric receptors, cells which express the chimeric receptors, and DNA encoding the chimeric receptors.

Description: REDIRECTION OF CELLULAR IMMUNITY BY RECEPTOR CHIMERAS Field of the Invention The invention concerns functional T cell receptor, Fc receptor, or B cell receptor chimeras which are capable of redirecting immune system function. More particularly, it concerns the regulation of lymphocytes, macrophages, natural killer cells or granulocytes by the expression in said cells of chimeras which cause the cells to respond to targets recognized by the chimeras. The invention also concerns functional T cell receptor, Fc receptor, or B cell receptor chimeras which are capable of directing therapeutic cells to specifically recognize and destroy either cells infected with a specific infective agent, the infective agent itself, a tumor cell, or an autoimmune-generated cell. More particularly, the invention relates to the production of T cell receptor, Fc receptor, or B cell receptor chimeras capable of directing cytotoxic T lymphocytes to specifically recognize and lyse cells expressing HIV envelope proteins. The invention therefore provides a therapy for diseases such as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) which are caused by the HIV virus. Background of the Invention T cell recognition of antigen through the T cell receptor is the basis of a range of immunological phenomena. The T cells direct what is called cell- mediated immunity. This involves the destruction by cells of the immune system of foreign tissues or infected cells. A variety of T cells exist, including "helper" and "suppressor" cells, which modulate the immune response, and cytotoxic (or "killer") cells, which can kill abnormal cells directly. A T cell that recognizes and binds a unique antigen displayed on the surface of another cell becomes activated; it can then multiply, and, if it is a cytotoxic cell, it can kill the bound cell. Autoimmune disease is characterized by production of either antibodies that react with host tissue or immune effector T cells that are autoreactive. In some instances, autoantibodies may arise by a normal T- and B- cell response activated by foreign substances or organisms that contain antigens that cross react with similar compounds in body tissues. Examples of clinically relevant autoantibodies are antibodies against acetylcholine receptors in myasthenia gravis; and anti- DNA, anti-erythrocyte, and anti-platelet antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus. HIV and Immunopathogenesis In 1984 HIV was shown to be the etiologic agent of AIDS. Since that time the definition of AIDS has been revised a number of times with regard to what criteria should be included in the diagnosis. However, despite the fluctuation in diagnostic parameters, the simple common denominator of AIDS is the infection with HIV and subsequent development of persistent constitutional symptoms and AIDS-defining diseases such as a secondary infections, neoplasms, and neurologic disease. Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. 12th ed. , McGraw Hill (1991) . HIV is a human retrovirus of the lentivirus group. The four recognized human retroviruses belong to two distinct groups: the human T lymphotropic (or leukemia) retroviruses, HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, and the human immunodeficiency viruses, HIV-1 and HIV-2. The former are transforming viruses whereas the latter are cytopathic viruses. HIV-1 has been identified as the most common cause of AIDS throughout the world. Sequence homology between HIV-2 and HIV-1 is about 40% with HIV-2 being more closely related to some members of a group of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV). See Curran et al.. Science 329:1357-1359 (1985); Weiss et al. , Nature 3_24:572-575 (1986). HIV has the usual retroviral genes (env, gag, and pol) as well as six extra genes involved in the replication and other biologic activities of the virus. As stated previously, the common denominator of AIDS is a profound immunosuppression, predominantly of cell- mediated immunity. This immune suppression leads to a variety of opportunistic diseases, particularly certain infections and neoplasms. The main cause of the immune defect in AIDS has been identified as a quantitative and qualitative deficiency in the subset of thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes, the T4 population. This subset of cells is defined phenotypically by the presence of the CD4 surface molecule, which has been demonstrated to be the cellular receptor for HIV. Dalgleish et al., Nature 312:763 (1984) . Although the T4 cell is the major cell type infected with HIV, essentially any human cell that expresses the CD4 molecule on its surface is capable of binding to and being infected with HIV. Traditionally, CD4 + T cells have been assigned the role of helper/inducer, indicating their function in providing an activating signal to B cells, or inducing T lymphocytes bearing the reciprocal CD8 marker to become cytotoxic/suppressor cells. Reinherz and Schlossman, Cell i9:821-827 (1980); Goldstein et al., Immunol. Rev. 68.5-42 (1982). HIV binds specifically and with high affinity, via a stretch of amino acids in the viral envelope (gpl20) , to a portion of the VI region of the CD4 molecule located near its N-terminus. Following binding, the virus fuses with the target cell membrane and is internalized. Once internalized it uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to transcribe its genomic RNA to DNA, which is integrated into the cellular DNA where it exists for the life of the cell as a "provirus." The provirus may remain latent or be activated to transcribe mRNA and genomic RNA, leading to protein synthesis, assembly, new virion formation, and budding of virus from the cell surface. Although the precise mechanism by which the virus induces cell death has not been established, it is believed that the major mechanism is massive viral budding from the cell surface, leading to disruption of the plasma membrane and resulting osmotic disequilibrium. During the course of the infection, the host organism develops antibodies against viral proteins, including the major envelope glycoproteins gpl20 and gp41. Despite this humoral immunity, the disease progresses, resulting in a lethal immunosuppression characterized by multiple opportunistic infections, parasitemia, dementia, and death. The failure of the host anti-viral antibodies to arrest the progression of the disease represents one of the most vexing and alarming aspects of the infection, and augurs poorly for vaccination efforts based upon conventional approaches. Two factors may play a role in the efficacy of the humoral response to immunodeficiency viruses. First, like other RNA viruses (and like retroviruses in particular) , the immunodeficiency viruses show a high mutation rate in response to host immune surveillance. Second, the envelope glycoproteins themselves are heavily glycosylated molecules presenting few epitopes suitable for high affinity antibody binding. The poorly antigenic target which the viral envelope presents allows the host little opportunity for restricting viral infection by specific antibody production. Cells infected by the HIV virus express the gpl20 glycoprotein on their surface. Gpl20 mediates fusion events among CD4 + cells via a reaction similar to that by which the virus enters the uninfected cells, leading to the formation of short-lived multinucleated giant cells. Syncytium formation is dependent on a direct interaction of the gpl20 envelope glycoprotein with the CD4 protein. Dalgleish et al., supra; Klatzman et al., Nature 312:763 (1984); McDougal et al., Science 231:382 (1986); Sodroski et al.. Nature 322 :470 (1986); Lifson et al.. Nature 323:725 (1986); Sodroski et al., Nature 321:412 (1986) . Evidence that the CD4-gpl20 binding is responsible for viral infection of cells bearing the CD4 antigen includes the finding that a specific complex is formed between gpl20 and CD4 (McDougal et al., supra) . Other investigators have shown that the cell lines, which were non-infective for HIV, were converted to infectable cell lines following transfection and expression of the human CD4 cDNA gene. Maddon et al.. Cell 46:333-348 (1986). Therapeutic programs based on soluble CD4 as a passive agent to interfere with viral adsorption and syncytium-mediated cellular transmission have been proposed and successfully demonstrated in vitro by a number of groups (Deen et al.. Nature 331:82-84 (1988); Fisher et al., Nature 331:76-78 (1988); Hussey et al., Nature 331:78-81 (1988); Smith et al., Science 238: 1704- 1707 (1987); Traunecker et al.. Nature 331:84-86 (1988)); and CD4 immunoglobulin fusion proteins with extended half-lives and modest biological activity have subsequently been developed (Capon et al.. Nature 117:525-531 (1989) ; Traunecker et al. Nature 339. 68-70 (1989); Byrn et al.. Nature 344:667-670 (1990); Zettl eissl et al., DNA Cell Biol. 9:347-353 (1990)) . Although CD4 immunotoxin conjugates or fusion proteins show potent cytotoxicity for infected cells in vitro (Chaudhary et al., Nature 335:369-372 (1988) ; Till et al., Science 242:1166-1168 (1988)), the latency of the immunodeficiency syndrome makes it unlikely that any single-treatment therapy will be effective in eliminating viral burden, and the antigenicity of foreign fusion proteins is likely to limit their acceptability in treatments requiring repetitive dosing. Trials with monkeys affected with SIV have shown that soluble CD4, if administered to animals without marked CD4 cytopenia, can reduce SIV titer and improve in vitro measures of myeloid potential (Watanabe et al., Nature 337:267-270 (1989)) . However a prompt viral reemergence was observed after treatment was discontinued, suggesting that lifelong administration might be necessary to prevent progressive immune system debilitation. T Cell and Fc Receptors Cell surface expression of the most abundant form of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) requires the coexpression of at least 6 distinct polypeptide chains (Weiss et al., J. EXP. Med. 160:1284-1299 (1984); Orloffhashi et al., Nature 3_16:606-609 (1985) ; Berkhout et al., J. Biol. Chem. 2_6_3:8528-8536 (1988); Sussman et al., Cell 5_2 . :85-95 (1988)), the a/β antigen binding chains, the three polypeptides of the CD3 complex, and C- If any of the chains are absent, stable expression of the remaining members of the complex does not ensue. ζ is the limiting polypeptide for surface expression of the complete complex (Sussman et al.. Cell 5_2:85-95 (1988)) and is thought to mediate at least a fraction of the cellular activation programs triggered by receptor recognition of ligand (Weissman et al., EMBO J. 8 . :3651- 3656 (1989) ; Frank et al., Science 249:174-177 (1990)) . A 32kDa type I integral membrane homodimer, ζ (zeta) has a 9 residue extracellular domain with no sites for N- linked glycan addition, and a 112 residue (mouse) or 113 residue (human) intracellular domain (Weissman et al. , Science 238:1018-1020 (1988); Weissman et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85_:9709-9713 (1988)) . An isoform of ζ called η (eta) (Baniyash et al., J. Biol. Chem. 26_3:9874-9878 (1988); Orloff et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264:14812-14817 (1989)), which arises from an alternate mRNA splicing pathway (Jin et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 8_7: 3319-3233 (1990)), is present in reduced amounts in cells expressing the antigen receptor. ζ-η heterodimers are thought to mediate the formation of inositol phosphates, as well as the receptor-initiated programmed cell death called apoptosis (Mercep et al., Science 242:571-574 (1988); Merόep et al. , Science 116:1162-1165 (1989)). Like ζ and n, the Fc receptor-associated γ (gamma) chain is expressed in cell surface complexes with additional polypeptides, some of which mediate ligand recognition, and others of which have undefined function, γ bears a homodimeric structure and overall organization very similar to that of ζ and is a component of both the mast cell/basophil high affinity IgE receptor, FceRI, which consists of at least three distinct polypeptide chains (Blank et al., Nature 337:187-189 (1989); Ra et al.. Nature 2_41:752-754 (1989)) , and one of the low affinity receptors for IgG, represented in mice by FcγRII (Ra et al. , J. Biol. Chem. 264:15323-15327 (1989)), and in humans by the CD16 subtype expression by macrophages and natural killer cells, CD16 TM (CD16 transmembrane) (Lanier et al., Nature 342:803-805 (1989); Anderson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2274-2278 (1990)) and with a polypeptide of unidentified function (Anderson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2274-2278 (1990)) . Recently it has been reported that γ is expressed by a mouse T cell line, CTL, in which it forms homodimers as well as y-ζ and y-η heterodimers (Orloff et al., Nature 347:189-191 (1990)). The Fc receptors mediate phagocytosis of immune complexes, transcytosis, and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) (Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9_:457-492 (1991) ; Unkeless et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol 6:251-281 (1988) ; and Mellman, Curr. OPin. Immunol. 1:16-25 (1988)) . Recently it has been shown that one of the murine low affinity Fc receptor isoforms, FcRγlllBl, mediates internalization of Ig-coated targets into clathrin coated pits, and that another low affinity receptor, FcRγlllA mediates ADCC through its association with one or more members of a small family of 'trigger molecules' (Miettinen et al.. Cell 58_:317-327 (1989); and Hunziker and Mellman, J. Cell Biol. 309: 3291-3302 (1989)). These trigger molecules, T cell receptor (TCR) ζ chain, TCR η chain, and Fc receptor γ chain, interact with ligand recognition domains of different immune system receptors and can autonomously initiate cellular effector programs, including cytolysis, following aggregation (Samelson et al., Cell 13:223-231 (1985); Weissman et al.. Science 239: 1018-1020 (1988); Jin et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:3319-3323 (1990); Blank et al., Nature 337:187-189 (1989); Lanier et al., Nature 342 :803-805 (1989); Kurosaki and Ravetch, Nature 141:805-807 (1989); Hibbs et al., Science 246:1608-1611 (1989); Anderson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 17:2274-2278 (1990); and Irving and Weiss, Cell 64: 891- 901 (1991)). In drawing parallels between the murine and human low affinity Fc receptor families, however, it has become clear that the human FcRγllA and C isoforms have no murine counterpart. In part because of this, their function has yet to be defined. Because humoral agents based on CD4 alone may have limited utility in vivo, previous work explored the possibility of augmenting cellular immunity to HIV. Preparations of protein chimeras in which the extracellular domain of CD4 is fused to the transmembrane and/or intracellular domains of T cell receptor, IgG Fc receptor, or B cell receptor signal transducing elements have been identified (U.S.S.N. 07/847,566 and 07/665,961, hereby incorporated by reference) . Cytolytic T cells expressing chimeras which include an extracellular CD4 domain show potent MHC-independent destruction of cellular targets expressing HIV envelope proteins. An extremely important and novel component of this approach has been the identification of single T cell receptor, Fc receptor, and B cell receptor chains whose aggregation suffices to initiate the cellular response. One particularly useful application of this approach has been the invention of chimeras between CD4 and ζ , η , or γ that direct cytolytic T lymphocytes to recognize and kill cells expressing HIV gpl20 (U.S.S.N. 07/847,566 and 07/665,961, hereby incorporated by reference) . Summary of the Invention Although native T cell, B cell, and Fc receptors are or can be highly complicated multimeric structures not lending themselves to convenient manipulation, the present invention demonstrates the feasibility of creating chimeras between the intracellular domain of any of a variety of molecules which are capable of fulfilling the task of target recognition. In particular, the formation of chimeras consisting of the intracellular portion of T cell/Fc receptor zeta, eta, or gamma chains joined to the extracellular portion of a suitably engineered antibody molecule allows the target recognition potential of an immune system cell to be specifically redirected to the antigen recognized by the extracellular antibody portion. Thus with an antibody portion capable of recognizing some determinant on the surface of a pathogen, immune system cells armed with the chimera would respond to the presence of the pathogen with the effector program appropriate to their lineage, e.g., helper T lymphocytes would respond by cytotoxic activity against the target, and B lymphocytes would be activated to synthesize antibody. Macrophages and granulocytes would carry out their effector programs, including cytokine release, phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen generation. Similarly, with an antibody portion capable of recognizing tumor cells, the immune system response to the tumor would be beneficially elevated. With an antibody capable of recognizing immune cells having an inappropriate reactivity with self determinants, the autoreactive cells could be selectively targeted for destruction. Although these examples draw on the use of antibody chimeras as a convenient expository tool, the invention is not limited in scope to antibody chimeras, and indeed, the use of specific nonantibody extracellular domains may have important advantages. For example with an extracellular portion that is the receptor for a virus, bacterium, or parasite, cells armed with the chimeras would specifically target cells expressing the viral, bacterial, or parasitic determinants. The advantage of this approach over the use of antibodies is that the native receptor for pathogen may have uniquely high selectivity or affinity for the pathogen, allowing a greater degree of precision in the resulting immune response. Similarly, to delete immune system cells which inappropriately react with a self antigen, it may suffice to join the antigen (either as an intact protein, in the case of B cell depletion therapies, or as MHC complex, in the case of T cell depletion therapies) to intracellular zeta, eta, or gamma chains, and thereby affect the specific targeting of the cells inappropriately responding to self determinants. Another use of the chimeras is the control of cell populations in vivo subsequent to other forms of genetic engineering. For example, the use of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or natural killer cells to carry cytotoxic principles to the site of tumors has been proposed. The present invention provides a convenient means to regulate the numbers and activity of such lymphocytes and cells without removing them from the body of the patient for amplification in vitro. Thus, because the intracellular domains of the chimeric receptors mediate the proliferative responses of the cells, the coordination of the extracellular domains by a variety of aggregating stimuli specific for the extracellular domains (e.g. , an antibody specific for the extracellular domain) will result in proliferation of the cells bearing the chimeras. Although the specific embodiments of the present invention comprise chimeras between zeta, eta, or gamma chains, or active fragments thereof (e.g., those discussed below) , any receptor chain having a similar function to these molecules, e.g., in granulocytes or B lymphocytes, could be used for the purposes disclosed here. The distinguishing features of desirable immune cell trigger molecules comprise the ability to be expressed autonomously (i.e., as a single chain), the ability to be fused to an extracellular domain such that the resultant chimera is present on the surface of a therapeutic cell, and the ability to initiate cellular effector programs upon aggregation secondary to encounter with a target ligand. At present the most convenient method for delivery of the chimeras to immune system cells is through some form of genetic therapy. However, reconstituting immune system cells with chimeric receptors by mixture of the cells with suitably solubilized purified chimeric protein would also result in the formation of an engineered cell population capable of responding to the targets recognized by the extracellular domain of the chimeras. Similar approaches have been used, for example, to introduce the intact HIV receptor, CD4, into erythrocyteε for therapeutic purposes. In this case the engineered cell population would not be capable of self renewal. The present invention relates to functional simplified T cell receptor, B cell receptor, and Fc receptor chimeras which are capable of redirecting immune system function. More particularly, it relates to the regulation of lymphocytes, macrophages, natural killer cells, or granulocytes by the expression in said cells of chimeras which cause the cells to respond to targets recognized by the chimeras. The invention also relates to a method of directing cellular responses to an infective agent, a tumor or cancerous cell, or an autoimmune-generated cell. The method for directing the cellular response in a mammal comprises administering an effective amount of therapeutic cells to said mammal, said cells being capable of recognizing and destroying said infective agent, tumor, cancer cell or autoimmune generated cell. The cellular response may be mediated by a single receptor chimera or may be the result of cooperation between multiple chimeras (for example, a set of two or more chimeras, one of which includes a CD28 intracellular domain) . Accordingly, the invention includes the use of these chimeric receptor-expressing cells in the production of a medicament for the treatment of disease (as described herein) . In another embodiment, the method of directing cellular response to an infective agent comprises administering therapeutic cells capable of recognizing and destroying said agent, wherein the agent is a specific virus, bacteria, protozoa, or fungi. Even more specifically, the method is directed against agents such as HIV and Pneumocystis carinii. Specifically the invention provides for a method of directing cellular response to an HIV-infected cell. The method comprises administering to a patient an effective amount of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, said lymphocytes being capable of specifically recognizing and lysing cells infected with HIV as well as circulating virus. Thus, in one embodiment, there is provided according to the invention a method for directing cellular response to HIV-infected cells, comprising administering to a patient an effective amount of cytotoxic T lymphocytes which are capable of specifically recognizing and lysing cells infected with HIV. In yet another embodiment is provided the chimeric receptor proteins which direct the cytotoxic T lymphocytes to recognize and lyse the HIV-infected cell. Yet another embodiment of the invention comprises host cells transformed with a vector comprising the chimeric receptors. In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides for an antibody against the chimeric receptors of the invention. In order to obtain cytotoxic T lymphocytes which specifically bind and lyse cells infected with HIV, the present inventors therefore attempted, and herein provide receptor chimeras. These chimeric receptors are functionally active and possess the extraordinary ability of being able to specifically bind and lyse cells expressing gpl20. It is an object of the present invention, then, to provide for a method of treatment for individuals infected with HIV. The present invention thus provides a number of important advances in the therapy of AIDS. These and other non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to those of skill from the following detailed description of the invention. In the following detailed description, reference will be made to various methodologies known to those of skill in the art of molecular biology and immunology. Publications and other materials setting forth such known methodologies to which reference is made are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties as though set forth in full. Standard reference works setting forth the general principles of recombinant DNA technology include Watson et al., Molecular Biology of the Gene, volumes I and II, the Benjamin/Cum ings Publishing Company, Inc. , publisher, Menlo Park, CA (1987); Darnell et al., Molecular Cell Biology. Scientific American Books, Inc., publisher, New York, N.Y. (1986); Lewin, Genes II. John Wiley & Sons, publishers, New York, N.Y.

Ausubel et al., Wiley Press, New York, NY (1989). DEFINITIONS By "cloning" is meant the use of in vitro recombination techniques to insert a particular gene or other DNA sequence into a vector molecule. In order to successfully clone a desired gene, it is necessary to employ methods for generating DNA fragments for joining the fragments to vector molecules, for introducing the composite DNA molecule into a host cell in which it can replicate, and for selecting the clone having the target gene from amongst the recipient host cells. By "cDNA" is meant complementary or copy DNA produced from an RNA template by the action of RNA- dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) . Thus a "cDNA clone" means a duplex DNA sequence complementary to an RNA molecule of interest, carried in a cloning vector. By "cDNA library" is meant a collection of recombinant DNA molecules containing cDNA inserts which comprise DNA copies of mRNA being expressed by the cell at the time the cDNA library was made. Such a cDNA library may be prepared by methods known to those of skill, and described, for example, in Maniatis et al.. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, supra. Generally, RNA is first isolated from the cells of an organism from whose genome it is desired to clone a particular gene. Preferred for the purpose of the present invention are mammalian, and particularly human, lymphocytic cell lines. A presently preferred vector for this purpose is the vaccinia virus WR strain. By "vector" is meant a DNA molecule derived, e.g. , from a plasmid, bacteriophage, or mammalian or insect virus, into which fragments of DNA may be inserted or cloned. A vector will contain one or more unique restriction sites and may be capable of autonomous replication in a defined host or vehicle organism such that the cloned sequence is reproducible. Thus, by "DNA expression vector" is meant any autonomous element capable of directing the synthesis of a recombinant peptide. Such DNA expression vectors include bacterial plasmids and phages and mammalian and insect plasmids and viruses. By "substantially pure" is meant a compound, e.g., a protein, a polypeptide, or an antibody, that is substantially free of the components that naturally accompany it. Generally, a compound is substantially pure when at least 60%, more preferably at least 75%, and most preferably at least 90% of the total material in a sample is the compound of interest. Purity can be measured by any appropriate method, e.g. , column chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, or HPLC analysis. In the context of a nucleic acid, "substantially pure" means a nucleic acid sequence, segment, or fragment that is not immediately contiguous with (i.e., covalently linked to) both of the coding sequences with which it is immediately contiguous (i.e., one at the 5' end and one at the 3' end) in the naturally occurring genome of the organism from which the DNA of the invention is derived. By "functional derivative" is meant the "fragments," "variants," "analogues," or "chemical derivatives" of a molecule. A "fragment" of a molecule, such as any of the cDNA sequences of the present invention, is meant to refer to any nucleotide subset of the molecule. A "variant" of such molecule is meant to refer to a naturally occurring molecule substantially similar to either the entire molecule, or a fragment thereof. An "analog" of a molecule is meant to refer to a non-natural molecule substantially similar to either the entire molecule or a fragment thereof. A molecule is said to be "substantially similar" to another molecule if the sequence of amino acids in both molecules is substantially the same. In particular, a "substantially similar" amino acid sequence is one that exhibits at least 50%, preferably 85%, and most preferably 95% amino acid sequence identity to the natural or reference sequence and/or one that differs from the natural or reference amino acid sequence only by conservative amino acid substitutions. Substantially similar amino acid molecules possess similar biological activity. Thus, provided that two molecules possess a similar activity, they are considered variants as that term is used herein even if one of the molecules contains additional or fewer amino acid residues not found in the other, or if the sequence of amino acid residues is not identical. As used herein, a molecule is said to be a "chemical derivative" of another molecule when it contains additional chemical moieties not normally a part of the molecule. Such moieties may improve the molecule's solubility, absorption, biological half life, etc. The moieties may alternatively decrease the toxicity of the molecule, eliminate or attenuate any undesirable side effect of the molecule, etc. Moieties capable of mediating such effects are disclosed, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 16th ed. , Mack Publishing Co. , Easton, PA (1980) . Similarly, a "functional derivative" of a receptor chimera gene of the present invention is meant to include "fragments," "variants," or "analogues" of the gene, which may be "substantially similar" in nucleotide sequence, and which encode a molecule possessing similar activity to, for example, a T cell, B cell, or Fc receptor chimera. "Substantially similar" nucleic acids encode substantially similar amino acid sequences and also may include any nucleic acid sequence capable of hybridizing to the wild-type nucleic acid sequence under appropriate hybridization conditions (see, for example, Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. Wiley Press, New York, NY (1989) for appropriate hybridization stringency conditions) . Thus, as used herein, a T cell, B cell, or Fc receptor chimera protein is also meant to include any functional derivative, fragments, variants, analogues, or chemical derivatives which may be substantially similar to the "wild-type" chimera and which possess similar activity (i.e., most preferably, 90%, more preferably, 70%, preferably 40%, or at least 10% of the wild-type receptor chimera's activity). The activity of a functional chimeric receptor derivative includes specific binding (with its extracellular portion) to a targeted agent or cell and resultant destruction (directed by its intracellular or transmembrane portion) of that agent or cell; such activity may be tested, e.g., using any of the assays described herein. A DNA sequence encoding the T cell, B cell, or Fc receptor chimera of the present invention, or its functional derivatives, may be recombined with vector DNA in accordance with conventional techniques, including blunt-ended or staggered-ended termini for ligation, restriction enzyme digestion to provide appropriate termini, filling in of cohesive ends as appropriate, alkaline phosphatase treatment to avoid undesirable joining, and ligation with appropriate ligases. Techniques for such manipulations are disclosed by Maniatis et al., supra. and are well known in the art. A nucleic acid molecule, such as DNA, is said to be "capable of expressing" a polypeptide if it contains nucleotide sequences which contain transcriptional and translational regulatory information, and such sequences are "operably linked" to nucleotide sequences which encode the polypeptide. An operable linkage is a linkage in which the regulatory DNA sequences and the DNA sequence sought to be expressed are connected in such a way as to permit gene expression. The precise nature of the regulatory regions needed for gene expression may vary from organism to organism, but shall in general include a promoter region which, in prokaryotes, contains both the promoter (which directs the initiation of RNA transcription) as well as the DNA sequences which, when transcribed into RNA, will signal the initiation of protein synthesis. Such regions will normally include those 5'-non-coding sequences involved with initiation of transcription and translation, such as the TATA box, capping sequence, CAAT sequence, and the like. If desired, the non-coding region 3' to the gene sequence coding for the protein may be obtained by the above-described methods. This region may be retained for its transcriptional termination regulatory sequences, such as termination and polyadenylation. Thus, by retaining the 3'-region naturally contiguous to the DNA sequence coding for the protein, the transcriptional termination signals may be provided. Where the transcriptional termination signals are not satisfactorily functional in the expression host cell, then a 3' region functional in the host cell may be substituted. Two DNA sequences (such as a promoter region sequence and a T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera encoding sequence) are said to be operably linked if the nature of the linkage between the two DNA sequences does not (1) result in the introduction of a frame-shift mutation, (2) interfere with the ability of the promoter region sequence to direct the transcription of the receptor chimera gene sequence, or (3) interfere with the ability of the receptor chimera gene sequence to be transcribed by the promoter region sequence. A promoter region would be operably linked to a DNA sequence if the promoter were capable of effecting transcription of that DNA sequence. Thus, to express the protein, transcriptional and translational signals recognized by an appropriate host are necessary. The present invention encompasses the expression of a T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera protein (or a functional derivative thereof) in either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, although eukaryotic (and, particularly, human lymphocyte) expression is preferred. Antibodies according to the present invention may be prepared by any of a variety of methods. For example, cells expressing the receptor chimera protein, or a functional derivative thereof, can be administered to an animal in order to induce the production of sera containing polyclonal antibodies that are capable of binding the chimera. In a preferred method, antibodies according to the present invention are monoclonal antibodies. Such monoclonal antibodies can be prepared using hybridoma technology (Kohler et al.. Nature 256:495 (1975) ; Kohler et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 6:511 (1976); Kohler et al. , Eur. J. Immunol. 6:292 (1976) ; Hammerling et al., In: Monoclonal Antibodies and T-Cell Hybridomas. Elsevier, N.Y., pp. 563-684 (1981)) . In general, such procedures involve immunizing an animal with the T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera antigen. The splenocytes of such animals are extracted and fused with a suitable myeloma cell line. Any suitable myeloma cell line may be employed in accordance with the present invention. After fusion, the resulting hybridoma cells are selectively maintained in HAT medium, and then cloned by limiting dilution as described by Wands et al. (Gastroenterologv 8_0:225-232 (1981)) . The hybridoma cells obtained through such a selection are then assayed to identify clones which secrete antibodies capable of binding the chimera. Antibodies according to the present invention also may be polyclonal, or, preferably, region specific polyclonal antibodies. Antibodies against the T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera according to the present invention may be used to monitor the amount of chimeric receptor (or chimeric receptor-bearing cells) in a patient. Such antibodies are well suited for use in standard immunodiagnostic assays known in the art, including such immunometric or "sandwich" assays as the forward sandwich, reverse sandwich, and simultaneous sandwich assays. The antibodies may be used in any number of combinations as may be determined by those of skill without undue experimentation to effect immunoassays of acceptable specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Standard reference works setting forth general principles of immunology include Roitt, Essential Immunology. 6th ed. , Blackwell Scientific Publications, publisher, Oxford (1988); Kimball, Introduction to Immunology. 2nd ed. , Macmillan Publishing Co., publisher, New York (1986); Roitt et al.. Immunology. Gower Medical Publishing Ltd., publisher, London, (1985); Campbell, "Monoclonal Antibody Technology," in Burdon et al., eds., Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, volume 13, Elsevier, publisher, Amsterdam (1984) ; Klein, Immunology: The Science of Self-Nonself Discrimination. John Wiley & Sons, publisher, New York (1982); and Kennett et al., eds., Monoclonal Antibodies. Hybridoma: A New Dimension In Biological Analyses. Plenum Press, publisher, New York (1980) . By "detecting" it is intended to include determining the presence or absence of a substance or - 22 - quantifying the amount of a substance. The term thus refers to the use of the materials, compositions, and methods of the present invention for qualitative and quantitative determinations. The isolation of other hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies of the same specificity as those described herein can be accomplished by the technique of anti-idiotypic screening (Potocmjak et al., Science 215:1637 (1982)). Briefly, an anti-idiotypic antibody is an antibody which recognizes unique determinants present on the antibody produced by the clone of interest. The anti-idiotypic antibody is prepared by immunizing an animal of the same strain used as the source of the monoclonal antibody with the monoclonal antibody of interest. The immunized animal will recognize and respond to the idiotypic determinants of the immunizing antibody by producing antibody to these idiotypic determinants (anti-idiotypic antibody) . For replication, the hybrid cells may be cultivated both in vitro and in vivo. High in vivo production makes this the presently preferred method of culture. Briefly, cells from the individual hybrid strains are injected intraperitoneally into pristane- pri ed BALB/c mice to produce ascites fluid containing high concentrations of the desired monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies of isotype IgM or IgG may be purified from cultured supernatants using column chromatography methods well known to those of skill in the art. Antibodies according to the present invention are particularly suited for use in immunoassays wherein they may be utilized in liquid phase or bound to a solid phase carrier. In addition, the antibodies in these immunoassays can be detectably labeled in various ways. There are many different labels and methods of labeling known in the art. Examples of the types of labels which can be used in the present invention include, but are not limited to, enzymes, radioisotopes, fluorescent compounds, chemiluminescent compounds, bioluminescent compounds, and metal chelates. Those of ordinary skill in the art will know of other suitable labels for binding to antibodies, or will be able to ascertain the same by the use of routine experimentation. Furthermore, the binding of these labels to antibodies can be accomplished using standard techniques commonly known to those of ordinary skill in the art. One of the ways in which antibodies according to the present invention can be detectably labeled is by linking the antibody to an enzyme. This enzyme, in turn, when later exposed to its substrate, will react with the substrate in such a manner as to produce a chemical moiety which can be detected as, for example, by spectrophotometric or fluorometric means. Examples of enzymes which can be used to detectably label antibodies include malate dehydrogenase, staphylococcal nuclease, delta-V-steroid isomerase, yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, triose phosphate isomerase, biotinavidin peroxidase, horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, asparaginase, glucose oxidase, --galactosidase, ribonuclease, urease, catalase, glucose-VI-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucoamylase, and acetylcholine esterase. The presence of detectably labeled antibodies also can be detected by labeling the antibodies with a radioactive isotope which then can be determined by such means as the use of a gamma counter or a scintillation counter. Isotopes which are particularly useful for the purpose of the present invention are 3 H, 125 I, 32 P, 35 S, 14 C, 51 Cr, 36 C1, 57 Co, 58 Co, 59 Fe, and 75 Se. It is also possible to detect the binding of detectably labeled antibodies by labeling the antibodies with a fluorescent compound. When a fluorescently labeled antibody is exposed to light of the proper wavelength, its presence then can be detected due to the fluorescence of the dye. Among the most commonly used fluorescent labeling compounds are fluorescein, isothiocyanate, rhodamine, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin, o-phthaldehyde, and fluorescamine. The antibodies of the invention also can be detectably labeled using fluorescent emitting metals such as 152 Eu, or others of the lanthanide series. These metals can be attached to the antibody molecule using such metal chelating groups as diethyl- enteriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) . Antibodies also can be detectably labeled by coupling them to a chemiluminescent compound. The presence of the chemiluminescent-tagged antibody is then determined by detecting the presence of luminescence that arises during the course of the chemical reaction. Examples of particularly useful chemiluminescent labeling compounds are luminal, isoluminol, theromatic acridinium ester, imidazoie, acridinium salts, oxalate ester, and dioxetane. Likewise, a bioluminescent compound may be used to label the antibodies according to the present invention. Bioluminescence is a type of chemiluminescence found in biological systems in which a catalytic protein increases the efficiency of the chemiluminescent reaction. The presence of a bioluminescent antibody is determined by detecting the presence of luminescence. Important bioluminescent compounds for purposes of labeling include luciferin and luciferase aequorin. The antibodies and substantially purified antigen of the present invention are ideally suited for the preparation of a kit. Such a kit may comprise a carrier means being compartmentalized to receive in close confinement therewith one or more container means such as vials, tubes, and the like, each of said container means comprising the separate elements of the assay to be used. The types of assays which can be incorporated in kit form are many and include, for example, competitive and non-competitive assays. Typical examples of assays which can utilize the antibodies of the invention are radioimmunoassays (RIA) , enzyme immunoassays (EIA) , enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) , and immunometric, or sandwich immunoassays. By the term "immunometric assay" or "sandwich immunoassay," it is meant to include simultaneous sandwich, forward sandwich, and reverse sandwich immunoassays. These terms are well understood by those skilled in the art. Those of skill will also appreciate that antibodies according to the present invention will be useful in other variations and forms of assays which are presently known or which may be developed in the future. These are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. In the preferred mode for performing the assays it is important that certain "blockers" be present in the incubation medium (usually added with the labeled soluble antibody) . The "blockers" are added to assure that non¬ specific proteins, protease, or human antibodies to mouse immunoglobulins present in the experimental sample do not cross-link or destroy the antibodies on the solid phase support, or the radiolabeled indicator antibody, to yield false positive or false negative results. The selection of "blockers" therefore adds substantially to the specificity of the assays described in the present invention. It has been found that a number of nonrelevant (i.e., nonspecific) antibodies of the same class or subclass (isotype) as those used in the assays (e.g., IgG 1# IgG 2a , IgM, etc.) can be used as "blockers." The concentration of the "blockers" (normally 1-100 μq/μl ) is important, in order to maintain the proper sensitivity yet inhibit any unwanted interference by mutually occurring cross-reactive proteins in human serum. In addition, the buffer system containing the "blockers" needs to be optimized. Preferred buffers are those based on weak organic acids, such as imidazoie, HEPPS, MOPS, TES, ADA, ACES, HEPES, PIPES, TRIS, and the like, at physiological pH ranges. Somewhat less preferred buffers are inorganic buffers such as phosphate, borate, or carbonate. Finally, known protease inhibitors are preferably added (normally at 0.01-10 μg/ml) to the buffer which contains the "blockers." There are many solid phase immunoadsorbents which have been employed and which can be used in the present invention. Well known immunoadsorbents include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, dextran, nylon, and other materials, in the form of tubes, beads, and microtiter plates formed from or coated with such materials, and the like. The immobilized antibodies can be either covalently or physically bound to the solid phase immunoadsorbent, by techniques such as covalent bonding via an amide or ester linkage, or by absorption. Those skilled in the art will know many other suitable solid phase immunoadsorbents and methods for immobilizing antibodies thereon, or will be able to ascertain such, using no more than routine experimentation. For in vivo, in vitro, or in situ diagnosis, labels such as radionuclides may be bound to antibodies according to the present invention either directly or by using an intermediary functional group. An intermediary group which is often used to bind radioisotopes which exist as metallic cations to antibodies is diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) . Typical examples of metallic cations which are bound in this manner are: 9m Tc, 123 I, 111 In, 131 I, 97 Ru, 67 Cu, 67 Ga, and 68 Ga. The antibodies of the invention can also be labeled with non-radioactive isotopes for purposes of diagnosis. Elements which are particularly useful in this manner are 157 Gd, 55 Mn, 162 Dy, 52 Cr, and 56 Fe. The antigen of the invention may be isolated in substantially pure form employing antibodies according to the present invention. Thus, an embodiment of the present invention provides for substantially pure T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera, said antigen characterized in that it is recognized by and binds to antibodies according to the present invention. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of isolating or purifying the receptor chimeric antigen, by forming a complex of said antigen with one or more antibodies directed against the receptor chimera. The substantially pure T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera antigens of the present invention may in turn be used to detect or measure antibody to the chimera in a sample, such as serum or urine. Thus, one embodiment of the present invention comprises a method of detecting the presence or amount of antibody to T cell receptor, B cell receptor, or Fc receptor chimera antigen in a sample, comprising contacting a sample containing an antibody to the chimeric antigen with detectably labeled receptor chimera, and detecting said label. It will be appreciated that immunoreactive fractions and immunoreactive analogues of the chimera also may be used. By the term "immunoreactive fraction" is intended any portion of the chimeric antigen which demonstrates an equivalent immune response to an antibody directed against the receptor chimera. By the term "immunoreactive analogue" is intended a protein which differs from the receptor chimera protein by one or more amino acids, but which demonstrates an equivalent immunoresponse to an antibody of the invention. By "specifically recognizes and binds" is meant that the antibody recognizes and binds the chimeric receptor polypeptide but does not substantially recognize and bind other unrelated moleucles in a sample, e.g., a biological sample. By "autoimmune-generated cell" is meant cells producing antibodies that react with host tissue or immune effector T cells that are autoreactive; such cells include antibodies against acetylcholine receptors (leading, e.g., to myasthenia gravis) or anti-DNA, anti- erythrocyte, and anti-placelet autoantibodies (leading, e.g. , to lupus erythematosus) . By "therapeutic cell" is meant a cell which has been transformed by a chimera of the invention so that it is capable of recognizing and destroying a specific infective agent, a cell infected by a specific agent, a tumor or cancerous cell, or an autoimmune-generated cell; preferably such therapeutic cells are cells of the hematopoietic system. By a "target infective agent" is meant any infective agent (e.g., a virus, bacterium, protozoan, or fungus) which can be recognized by a chimeric receptor- bearing therapeutic cell. By a "target cell" is meant any host cell which can be recognized by a chimeric receptor-bearing therapeutic cell; target cells include, without limitation, host cells which are infected with a virus, bacterium, protozoan, or fungus as well as tumor or cancerous cells and autoimmune-generated cells. By "extracellular" is meant having at least a portion of the molecule exposed at the cell surface. By "intracellular" is meant having at least a portion of the molecule exposed to the therapeutic cell's cytoplasm. By "transmembrane" is meant having at least a portion of the molecule spanning the plasma membrane. An "extracellular portion," an "intracellular portion," and a "transmembrane portion," as used herein, may include flanking amino acid sequences which extend into adjoining cellular compartments. By "oligo erize" is meant to complex with other proteins to form dimers, trimers, tetramers, or other higher order oligomers. Such oligomers may be homo- oligo ers or hetero-oligomers. An "oligomerizing portion" is that region of a molecule which directs complex (i.e., oligomer) formation. By "cytolytic" is meant to be capable of destroying a cell (e.g. , a cell infected with a pathogen, a tumor or cancerous cell, or an autoimmune-generated) cell or to be capable of destroying an infective agent (e.g. , a virus) . By "immunodeficiency virus" is meant a retrovirus that, in wild-type form, is capable of infecting T4 cells of a primate host and possesses a viral morphogenesis and morphology characteristic of the lentivirus subfamily. The term includes, without limitation, all variants of HIV and SIV, including HIV-1, HIV-2, SIVmac, SIVagm, SIVmnd, SIVsmm, SIVman, SIVmand, and SIVcpz. By "MHC-independent" is meant that the cellular cytolytic response does not require the presence of an MHC class II antigen on the surface of the targeted cell. By a "functional cytolytic signal-transducing derivative" is meant a functional derivative (as defined above) which is capable of directing at least 10%, preferably 40%, more preferably 70%, or most preferably at least 90% of the biological activity of the wild type molecule. As used herein, a "functional cytolytic signal-transducing derivative" may act by directly signaling the therapeutic cell to destroy a receptor- bound agent or cell (e.g., in the case of an intracellular chimeric receptor portion) or may act indirectly by promoting oligomerization with cytolytic signal transducing proteins of the therapeutic cell (e.g. , in the case of a transmembrane domain) . Such derivatives may be tested for efficacy, e.g. , using the in vitro assays described herein. By a "functional HIV envelope-binding derivative" is meant a functional derivative (as defined above) which is capable of binding any HIV envelope protein. Functional derivatives may be identified using, e.g., the in vitro assays described herein. THERAPEUTIC ADMINISTRATION The transformed cells of the present invention may be used for the therapy of a number of diseases. Current methods of administering such transformed cells involve adoptive immunotherapy or cell-transfer therapy. These methods allow the return of the transformed immune-system cells to the bloodstream. Rosenberg, Sci. Am. 62 (May 1990); Rosenberg et al., New Engl. J. Med. 323:570 (1990) . The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be administered to any animal which may experience the beneficial effects of the compounds of the invention. Foremost among such animals are humans, although the invention is not intended to be so limited. Detailed Description The drawings will first be described. Brief Description of the Drawings FIG. 1A presents the amino acid sequence about the site of fusion between CD4 (residues 1-369) and different receptor chains (SEQ ID NOS: 28-31) . The underlined sequence shows the position of the amino acids encoded within the BamHI site used for fusion construction. The beginning of the transmembrane domain is marked with a vertical bar. The η sequence is identical to the ζ sequence at the amino terminus, but diverges at the carboxyl terminus (Jin et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:3319-3323 (1990)). FIG. IB presents flow cytometric analysis of surface expression of CD4, CD4:C / CD4:γ and CD4:r? in CV1 cells. Cells were infected with virus expressing CD4 chimeras or CD16 PI , incubated for 9 hours at 37°C, and stained with phycoerythrin-conjugated anti- CD4 MAb Leu3A. PIG. 2 shows surface expression of CD16 TM following coinfection of CD16 TM alone (dense dots) , or coinfected with virus expressing CD4:γ (dashes) or CD4: (solid line). Sparse dots, cells infected with CD4: ζ alone, stained with 3G8 (Fleit et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79:3275-3279 (1982)) (anti-CD16 MAb) . FIG. 3 shows surface expression of CD16 TM following coinfection by viruses expressing CD16 TM and the following ζ chimeras: CD4: ζ (thick line), CD4: ζ C11G (solid line); CD4: ζ (dashed line); CD4: ζ C11G/D15G (dense dots) ; no coinfection (CD16 TM alone, sparse dots) . Cells were incubated with anti-CD16 MAb 3G8 and phycoerythrin- conjugated Fab' 2 goat antibodies to mouse IgG. The level of expression of the ζ chimeras was essentially identical for the different mutants analyzed, and coinfection of cells with viruses expressing CD16 TM and chimeras did not appreciably alter surface expression of the chimeras. FIG. 4A-D shows increased intracellular free calcium ion follows crosslinking of mutant ζ chimeras in a T cell line. Jurkat E6 cells (Weiss et al., J. Immunol. 133:123-128 (1984)) were infected with recombinant vaccinia viruses and analyzed by flow cytometry. The results shown are for the gated CD4 + population, so that only cells expressing the relevant chimeric protein are analyzed. The mean ratio of violet to blue Indo-1 fluorescence reflects the intracellular free calcium concentration in the population as a whole and the percentage of responding cells reflects the fraction of cells which exceed a predetermined threshold ratio (set so that 10% of untreated cells are positive) . FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B show Jurkat cells expressing CD4 : ζ (solid line) or CD16:ζ (dashed line) which were exposed to anti-CD4 MAb Leu3a (phycoerythrin conjugate) , followed by crosslinking with goat antibody to mouse IgG. The dotted line shows the response of uninfected cells to anti-CD3 MAb OKT3. FIGS. 4C and 4D show Jurkat cells expressing CD4:ζD15G (solid line); CD4: ζCHG/D15G (dashes) ; or CD4;CC11G (dots) which were treated and analyzed as in FIGS. 4A and 4B. FIG. 5A-C shows that CD4: C, CD4 : η, and CD4:γ receptors allow cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) to kill targets expressing HIV-1 gpl20/41. FIG. 5A: solid circles, CTL expressing CD4 : ζ incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41; open circles, CTL expressing CD4:ζ incubated with uninfected HeLa cells; solid squares, uninfected CTL incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41; open squares, uninfected CTL incubated with uninfected HeLa cells. FIG. 5B: solid circles, CTL expressing CD4 : η incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41; open circles, CTL expressing CD4:γ incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41; open squares, CTL expressing the C11G/D15G double mutant CD4: ζ chimera incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41. FIG. 5C: Flow cytometric analysis of CD4 expression by the CTL used in Fig. 5B. To correct the target to effector ratios the percent of cells expressing CD4 chimera was determined by subtracting the scaled negative (uninfected) population by histogram superposition; for comparative purposes in this figure the uninfected cells were assigned an arbitrary threshold which gives roughly the same fraction positive for the other cell populations as would histogram subtraction. FIG. 6A-B shows specificity of CD4-directed cytolysis. FIG. 6A: solid circles, CTL expressing CD4: ζ incubated with HeLa cells expressing CD16 p ,; open circles, CTL expressing CD4 incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20; solid squares, CTL expressing CD16:C incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41; open squares, CTL expressing CD16 pι incubated with HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41. FIG. 6B: solid circles, CTL expressing CD4: ζ incubated with Raji (MHC class II + ) cells; open circles, uninfected CTL cells incubated with RJ2.2.5 (MHC class II " Raji mutant) cells; solid squares, uninfected CTL incubated with Raji (MHC class II + ) cells; open squares, CTL expressing CD4:£ incubated with RJ2.2.5 (MHC class II " ) cells. The ordinate scale is expanded. FIG. 7A-B shows characterization of the CD16:C chimeric receptor. FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram of the CD16:C fusion protein. The extracellular portion of the phosphatidylinositol-linked form of monomeric CD16 was joined to dimeric ζ just external to the transmembrane domain. The protein sequence at the fusion junction is shown at the bottom (SEQ ID NOS: 32, 33). FIG. 7B shows a flow cytometric analysis of calcium mobilization following crosslinking of the CD16:C chimera in either a - 34 - TCR positive or TCR negative cell line. The mean ratio of violet to blue fluorescence (a measure of relative calcium ion concentration) among cell populations treated with antibodies at time 0 is shown. Solid squares, the response of Jurkat cells to anti-CD3 MAb 0KT3; solid triangles, the response of CD16:ζ to anti-CD16 MAb 3G8 crosslinking in the REX33A TCR " mutant; open squares, the response to CD16:C crosslinking in the Jurkat TCR " mutant line JRT3.T3.5; open triangles, the response to CD16:C crosslinking in Jurkat cells; crosses, the response to nonchimeric CD16 in Jurkat cells; and dots, the response to nonchimeric CD16 in the REX33A TCR " cell line. FIG. 8A-B shows deletion analysis of cytolytic potential. FIG. 8A shows the locations of the deletion endpoints. Here as elsewhere mutations in C are represented by the original residue-location-mutant residue convention, so that D66*, for example, denotes replacement of Asp-66 by a termination codon. FIG. 8B shows cytolysis assay results of undeleted CD16:ζ and salient ζ deletions. Hybridoma cells expressing surface antibody to CD16 were loaded with 51 Cr and incubated with increasing numbers of human cytolytic lymphocytes (CTL) infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing CD16:C chimeras. The percent of 51 Cr released is plotted as a function of the effector (CTL) to target (hybridoma) cell ratio (e/t) . Solid circles, cytolysis mediated by cells expressing CD16:C (mfi 18.7); solid squares, cytolysis mediated by cells expressing CD16:ζ Asp66* (mfi 940.2); open squares, cytolysis mediated by cells expressing CD16:CGlu60* (mfi 16.0); open circles, cytolysis mediated by cells expressing CD16:ζTyr51* (mfi 17.4); solid triangles, cytolysis mediated by cells expressing CD16:ζPhe34* (mfi 17.8); and open triangles, cytolysis mediated by cells expressing nonchimeric CD16 (mfi 591) . Although in this experiment the expression of CD16:ζAsp66* was not matched to that of the other fusion proteins, cytolysis by cells expressing CD16:C at equivalent levels in the same experiment gave results essentially identical to those shown by cells expressing CD16:CAsp66. FIG. 9A-D shows that elimination of the potential for transmembrane interactions reveals a short ζ segment capable of mediating cytolysis. FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram of the monomeric bipartite and tripartite chimeras. At the top is the CD16:£ construct truncated at residue 65 and lacking transmembrane Cys and Asp residues.

EXAMPLE I Construction of Human IgGl:Receptor Chimeras Human IgGl heavy chain sequences were prepared by joining sequences in the C H 3 domain to a cDNA fragment derived from the 3 ' end of the transmembrane form of the antibody mRNA. The 3' end fragment was obtained by polymerase chain reaction using a tonsil cDNA library as substrate, and oligonucleotides having the sequences: CGC GGG GTG ACC GTG CCC TCC AGC AGC TTG GGC (SEQ ID NO: 7) and CGC GGG GAT CCG TCG TCC AGA GCC CGT CCA GCT CCC CGT CCT GGG CCT CA (SEQ ID NO: 8), corresponding to the 5' and 3' ends of the desired DNA fragments respectively. The 5' oligo is complementary to a site in the C H 1 domain of human IgGl, and the 3' oligo is complementary to a site just 5' of the sequences encoding the membrane spanning domain. The PCR product was digested with BstXI and BamHI and ligated between BstXI and BamHI sites of a semisynthetic IgGl antibody gene bearing variable and constant regions. Following the insertion of the BstXI to BamHI fragment, the amplified portions of the construct were replaced up to the Smal site in C H 3 by restriction fragment interchange, so that only the portion between the Smal site and the 3' oligo was derived from the PCR reaction. To create a human IgGl:C chimeric receptor, the heavy chain gene ending in a BamHI site was joined to the BamHI site of the ζ chimera described below, so that the antibody sequences formed the extracellular portion. Flow cytometry of COS cells transfected with a plasmid encoding the chimera showed high level expression of antibody determinants when an expression plasmid encoding a light chain cDNA was cσtransfected, and modest expression of antibody determinants when the light chain expression plasmid was absent. Similar chimeras including human IgGl fused to η or γ (see below) , or any signal-transducing portion of a T cell receptor or Fc receptor protein may be constructed generally as described above using standard techniques of molecular biology. To create a single transcription unit which would allow both heavy and light chains to be expressed from a single promoter, a plasmid encoding a bicistronic mRNA was created from heavy and light chain coding sequences, and the 5' untranslated portion of the mRNA encoding the 78kD glucose regulated protein, otherwise known as grp78, or BiP. grp78 sequences were obtained by PCR of human genomic DNA using primers having the sequences: CGC GGG CGG CCG CGA CGC CGG CCA AGA CAG CAC (SEQ ID NO: 9) and - 40 - CGC GTT GAC GAG CAG CCA GTT GGG CAG CAG CAG (SEQ ID NO: 10) at the 5' and 3' ends respectively. Polymerase chain reactions with these oligos were performed in the presence of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide. The fragment obtained by PCR was digested with NotI and Hindi and inserted between NotI and Hpal sites downstream from human IgGl coding sequences. Sequences encoding a human IgG kappa light chain cDNA were then inserted downstream from the grp78 leader, using the Hindi site and another site in the vector. The expression plasmid resulting from these manipulations consisted of the semisynthetic heavy chain gene, followed by the grp78 leader sequences, followed by the kappa light chain cDNA sequences, followed by polyadenylation signals derived from an SV40 DNA fragment. Transfection of COS cells with the expression plasmid gave markedly improved expression of heavy chain determinants, compared to transfection of plasmid encoding heavy chain determinants alone. To create a bicistronic gene comprising a heavy chain/receptor chimera and a light chain, the upstream heavy chain sequences can be replaced by any chimeric heavy chain/ receptor gene described herein. EXAMPLE II Construction of CD4 Receptor Chimeras Human ζ (Weissman et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 15:9709-9713 (1988b)) and γ (Kiister et al. , J. Biol. Chem. 265:6448-6452 (1990)) cDNAs were isolated by polymerase chain reaction from libraries prepared from the HPB-ALL tumor cell line (Aruffo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 8_4:8573-8577 (1987b)) and from human natural killer cells, while η cDNA (Jin et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:3319-3323 (1990)) was isolated from a murine thymocyte library. ζ, r, and γ cDNAs were joined to the extracellular domain of an engineered form of CD4 possessing a BamHI site just upstream of the membrane spanning domain (Aruffo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:8573-8577 (1987b); Zettlmeissl et al., DNA Cell Biol. 9347-353 (1990)) which was joined to the BamHI site naturally present in the ζ and η cDNAs at a similar location a few residues upstream of the membrane spanning domain (SEQ ID NOS: 1, 3, 4 and 6) . To form the fusion protein with γ a BamHI site was engineered into the sequence at the same approximate location (Fig. 1; SEQ ID NO: 2 and 5) . The gene fusions were introduced into a vaccinia virus expression plasmid bearing the E. coli g o gene as a selectable marker, and inserted into the genome of the vaccinia WR strain by homologous recombination and selection for growth in mycophenolic acid (Falkner et al., J. Virol. 62:1849-1854 (1988); Boyle et al., Gene 65:123-128 (1988)). Flow cytometric analysis showed that the vaccinia recombinants direct the abundant production of CD4:{ and CD4:γ fusion proteins at the cell surface, whereas the expression of CD4: η is substantially weaker (Fig. IB) . The latter finding is consistent with a recent report that transfection of an η cDNA expression plasmid into a murine hybridoma cell line gave substantially less expression than transfection of a comparable ζ expression plasmid (Clayton et al., j. Exp. Med^. 121:1243-1253 (1990)). Immunoprecipitation of cells infected with the vaccinia recombinants revealed that the fusion proteins form covalent dimers, unlike the naturally occurring CD4 antigen. The molecular masses of the monomeric CD4: ζ and CD4:γ fusion proteins and native CD4 were found to be 63, 55 and 53 kD respectively. The larger masses of the fusion proteins are approximately consistent with the greater length of the intracellular portion, which exceeds that of native CD4 by 75 (CD4: ) or 5 (CD4:γ) residues. EXAMPLE III CD4 Chimeras Can Associate With Other Receptor Chains Cell surface expression of the macrophage/natural killer cell form of human FcyRIII (CD16 TM ) on transfectants is facilitated by cotransfection with murine (Kurosaki et al., Nature 342:805-807 (1989)) or human (Hibbs et al., Science 246:1608-1611 (1989)) γ, as well as by human ζ (Lanier et al., Nature 342:803-805 (1989) ) . Consistent with these reports, expression of the chimeras also allowed surface expression of CD16 TM when delivered to the target cell either by cotransfection or by coinfection with recombinant vaccinia viruses (Fig. 2) . The promotion of CD16 TM surface expression by w s more pronounced than promotion by γ (Fig. 2) in the cell lines examined, whereas native CD4 did not enhance CD16 TM surface expression. EXAMPLE IV Asp ζ Mutants Do Not Coassociate with Fc Receptor To create chimeras which would not associate with existing antigen or Fc receptors, mutant ζ fusion proteins which lacked either the intramembranous Asp or intramembranous Cys residue or both were prepared. Flow cytometry showed that the intensity of cell surface expression by the different mutant chimeras was not appreciably different from the unmutated precursor, and immunoprecipitation experiments showed that total expression by the chimeras was similar. As expected, the mutant chimeras lacking the transmembrane cysteine residue were found not to form disulfide linked dimers. The two mutant chimeras lacking Asp were incapable of supporting the surface expression of CD16 W , whereas the monomeric chimeras lacking Cys but bearing Asp allowed CD16 TM to be coexpressed, but at lower efficiency than the parental dimer (Fig. 3) . EXAMPLE V Mutant Receptors Retain the Ability to Initiate a Calcium Response To determine whether crosslinking of the fusion proteins would allow the accumulation of free intracellular calcium in a manner similar to that known to occur with the T cell antigen receptor, cells of the human T cell leukemia line, Jurkat E6 (ATCC Accessior Number TIB 152, American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD) , were infected with the vaccinia recombinants and the relative cytoplasmic calcium concentration following crosslinking of the extracellular domain with antibodies was measured. Flow cytometric measurements were performed with cells loaded with the calcium sensitive dye Indo-1 (Grynkiewicz et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:3340-3450 (1985); Rabinovitch et al., J. Immunol. 112:952-961 (1986)). Figure 4A-D shows the results of calcium flux experiments with cells infected with CD4: and the Asp " and Cys " mutants of ζ . Crosslinking of the chimeras, reproducibly increased intracellular calcium. CD4:r, and CD4:γ similarly allowed accumulation of intracellular calcium in infected cells. Jurkat cells express low levels of CD4 on the cell surface, however, crosslinking of the native CD4 in the presence or absence of CD16:C does not alter intracellular calcium levels (Fig. 4A-B) . EXAMPLE VI CD4: / η , and γ Chimeras Mediate Cytolysis of Targets Expressing HIV gpl20/4l To determine whether the chimeric receptors would trigger cytolytic effector programs, a model target:effector system based on CD4 recognition of the HIV envelope gpl20/gp41 complex was created. HeLa cells were infected with recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing gpl20/gp41 (Chakrabarti et al., Nature 320:535-537 (1986); Earl et al., J. Virol. 64:2448-2451 (1990)) and labeled with 51 Cr. The labeled cells were incubated with cells from a human allospecific (CD8 + , CD4 " ) cytotoxic T lymphocyte line which had been infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing the CD4:ζ, CD4:η, or CD4:γ chimeras, or the CD4:ζCyεllGly:Aspl5Gly double mutant chimera. Fig. 5A-C shows that HeLa cells expressing gpl20/ 1 were specifically lysed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) expressing CD4 chimeras. Uninfected HeLa cells were not targeted by CTL armed with CD4:ζ chimeras, and HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41 were not recognized by uninfected CTL. To compare the efficacy of the various chimeras, the effector to target ratios were corrected for the fraction of CTL expressing CD4 chimeras, and for the fraction of HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41, as measured by flow cytometry. Fig. 5C shows a cytometric analysis of CD4 expression by the CTL used in the cytolysis experiment shown in Figs. 5A and 5B. Although the mean density of surface CD4:ζ greatly exceeded the mean density of CD4:η, the cytolytic efficiencies of cells expressing either form were similar. Correcting for the fraction of targets expressing gpl20, the efficiency of cytolysis mediated by CD4:C and CD4: η proteins are comparable to the best efficiencies reported for specific T cell receptor target:effector pairs (the mean effector to target ratio for 50% release by T cells expressing CD4:ζ was 1.9 + 0.99, n=10. The CD4:γ fusion was less active, as was the CD4:ζ fusion lacking the transmembrane Asp and Cys residues. However in both cases significant cytolysis was observed (Fig. 5B-C) . To control for the possibility that vaccinia infection might promote artefactual recognition by CTL, similar cytolysis experiments were performed with target cells infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing the phosphatidylinositol linked form of CD16 (CD16 PI ) and labeled with 51 Cr, and with CTL infected with control recombinants expressing either CD16 PI or CD16:C. Fig. 6A shows that T cells expressing non-CD4 chimeras do not recognize native HeLa cells or HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41, and similarly that T cells expressing CD4 chimeras do not recognize HeLa cells expressing other vaccinia-encoded surface proteins. In addition, CTLs expressing non-chimeric CD4 do not significantly lyse HeLa cells expressing gpl20/41 (Fig. 6A) . EXAMPLE VII MHC Class II-Bearing Cells Are Not Targeted by the Chimeras CD4 is thought to interact with a nonpolymorphic sequence expressed by MHC class II antigen (Gay et al., Nature 328:626-629 (1987); Sleckman et al., Nature 328:351-353 (1987)). Although a specific interaction between CD4 and class II antigen has never been documented with purified proteins, under certain conditions adhesion between cells expressing CD4 and cells expressing class II molecules can be demonstrated (Doyle et al.. Nature 110:256-259 (1987); Clayton et al., J. EXP. Med. 172:1243-1253 (1990); Lamarre et al., Science 245:743-746 (1989)). Next examined was whether killing could be detected against cells bearing class II antigen. Fig. 6B shows that there is no specific cytolysis directed by CD4:£ against the Raji B cell line, which expresses abundant class II antigen. Although a modest («5%) cytolysis is observed, a class II-negative mutant of Raji, RJ2.2.5, (Accolla, J. Exp. Med. 157: 1053- 1058 (1983)) shows a similar susceptibility, as do Raji cells incubated with uninfected T cells. EXAMPLE VIII Sequence Requirements for Induction of Cytolysis by the T Cell Antigen/Fc Receptor Zeta Chain Although chimeras between CD4 and ζ can arm cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to kill target cells expressing HIV gpl20, an alternative to CD4 was sought in order to unambiguously compare the properties of zeta chimeras introduced into human T cell lines. Such lines can express CD4, making it difficult to specifically define the relationship between the type or degree of calcium mobilization and the cytotoxic potential of the different chimeras. To circumvent this, chimeras were created between C and CD16 in which the extracellular domain of CD16 is attached to the transmembrane and intracellular sequences of ζ (Fig. 7A) . The gene fusions were introduced into a vaccinia virus expression plasmid bearing the E. coli gpt gene as a selectable marker and inserted into the genome of the vaccinia WR strain by homologous recombination and selection for growth in mycophenolic acid (Falkner and Moss, J. Virol. 62:1849 (1988); Boyle and Coupar, Gene 65.:123 (1988)). T cell lines were infected with the vaccinia recombinants and the relative cytoplasmic free calcium ion concentration was measured following crosslinking of the extracellular domains with antibodies. Both spectrofluorimetric (bulk population) and flow cytometric (single cell) measurements were performed with cells loaded with the dye Indo-1 (Grynkiewicz et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:3440 (1985); Rabinovitch et al., J. Immunol. 112:952 (1986)). Figure 7B shows an analysis of data collected from cells of the Jurkat human T cell leukemia line infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing CD16: fusion protein. Crosslinking of the chimeras reproducibly increased intracellular calcium, while similar treatment of cells expressing nonchimeric CD16 had little or no effect. When the chimera was expressed in mutant cell lines lacking antigen receptor, either REX33A (Breit eyer et al. , J. Immunol. 138:726 (1987); Sancho et al., J. Biol. Chem 264:20760 (1989)) or Jurkat mutant JRT3.T3.5 (Weiss et al., J. Immunol. 135:123 (1984)), a strong response to CD16 antibody crosslinking was seen. Similar data have been collected on the REX20A (Breitmeyer et al., supra, 1987; Blumberg et al., J. Biol. Chem. 265:14036 (1990)) mutant cell line, and a CD3/Ti negative mutant of the Jurkat cell line established in this laboratory. Infection with recombinants expressing CD16:£ did not restore the response to anti-CD3 antibody, showing that the fusion protein did not act by rescuing intracellular CD3 complex chains. To evaluate the ability of the chimeras to redirect cell-mediated immunity, CTLs were infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing CD16 chimeras and used to specifically lyse hybridoma cells expressing membrane- bound anti-CDl6 antibodies. This assay is an extension of a hybridoma cytotoxicity assay originally developed to analyze effector mechanisms of cells bearing Fc receptors (Graziano and Fanger, J. Immunol. 138:945, 1987; Graziano and Fanger, J. Immunol. 139:35-36. 1987; Shen et al., Mol. Immunol. 2_6:959, 1989; Fanger et al., Immunol. Today 10: 92, 1989). Fig. 8B shows that expression of CD16: in cytotoxic T lymphocytes allows the armed CTL to kill 3G8 (anti-CD16; Fleit et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 29:3275, 1982) hybridoma cells, whereas CTL expressing the phosphatidylinositol-linked form of CD16 are inactive. CTL armed with CD16: also do not kill hybridoma cells expressing an irrelevant antibody. To identify the minimal sequences necessary for cytolysis, a series of deletion mutants were prepared in which successively more of the C intracellular domain was removed from the carboxyl terminus (Fig. 8A) . Most of the intracellular domain of zeta could be removed with little consequence for cytolytic potential; the full length chimera CD16:ζ was essentially equal in efficacy to the chimera deleted to residue 65, CD16:ζAsp66* (Fig. 8B) . A substantial decrease in cytotoxicity was observed on deletion to C residue 59 (chimera CD16:ζGlu60*) , and further deletion to residue 50 resulted in slightly less activity. However complete loss of activity was not observed even when the intracellular domain was reduced to a three residue transmembrane anchor (Fig. 8B) . Because C is a disulfide linked dimer, one explanation for the retention of cytolytic activity was that endogenous ζ was forming heterodimers with the chimeric ζ deletion, thereby reconstituting activity. To test this idea, ζ residues 11 and 15 were changed from Asp and Cys respectively to Gly (CysllGly/AsplSGly) , and immunoprecipitations were carried out as follows. Approximately 2 x 10 6 CV1 cells were infected for one hour in serum free DME medium with recombinant vaccinia at a multiplicity of infection (moi) of at least ten. Six to eight hours post-infection, the cells were detached from the plates with PBS/ImM EDTA and surface labeled with 0.2 mCi 125 I per 2 x 10 6 cells using lactoperoxidase and H 2 0 2 by the method of Clark and Einfeld {Leukocyte Typing II , pp 155-167, Springer- Verlag, NY, 1986) . The labeled cells were collected by centrifugation and lysed in 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, 0.15M NaCl, 0.05M Tris, pH 8.0, 5mM MgCl 2 , 5mM KCl, 0.2M iodoacetamide and ImM PMSF. Nuclei were removed by centrifugation, and CD16 proteins were immunoprecipitated with antibody 3G8 (Fleit et al., supra. 1982; Medarex) and anti-mouse IgG agarose (Cappel, Durham, NC) . Samples were electrophoresed through an 8% polyacrylamide/SDS gel under non-reducing conditions or through a 10% gel under reducing conditions. These immunoprecipitations confirmed that the CD16:CCysllGly/AsplSGly chimera did not associate in disulfide-linked dimer structures. The cytolytic activity of the mutant receptors was also tested. The mutated chimera deleted to residue 65 (CD16: CyεllGly/Aspl5Gly/Asp66*) was, depending on the conditions of assay, two to eight fold less active in the cytolysis assay than the comparable unmutated chimera (CD16: Asp66*) , which was usually within a factor of two of, or indistinguishable in activity from, CD16: (Fig. 9B) . The reduction in activity of the mutant chimeras is comparable to the reduction seen with CD4 chimeras of similar structure (see above) and is most likely attributable to the lower efficiency of ζ monomers compared to dimers. In contrast, the Asp " , Cys " mutated chimera deleted to residue 59 had no cytolytic activity (Fig. 9B) , supporting the hypothesis that association with other chains mediated by the transmembrane Cys and/or Asp residues was responsible for the weak persistence of cytolytic activity in deletions more amino terminal than residue 65. Flow cytometric studies showed that the deletion mutants lacking transmembrane Asp and Cys residues could still promote an increase in free intracellular calcium ion in response to antibody crosslinking in a TCR " mutant Jurkat cell line (Fig. 9D) . Similar results were obtained for chimeras expressed in the parental Jurkat line. In the case of CD16: CysllGly/Aspl5Gly/Glu60*, these data demonstrate that the ability to mediate calcium responsiveness can be mutationally separated from the ability to support cytolysis. To definitively eliminate the possible contribution of ζ transmembrane residues, the transmembrane and first 17 cytoplasmic residues of C were replaced by sequences encoding the membrane spanning and first 14 or first 17 cytoplasmic residues of the CD5 or CD7 antigens, respectively (Fig. 9A) . The resulting tripartite fusion proteins CD16:5:ζ(48-65) and CD16:7:ζ (48-65) did not form disulfide-linked dimers as do the simpler CD16:ζ chimeras, because they lacked the cysteine residue in the ζ transmembrane domain. Both tripartite chimeras were able to mobilize calcium in Jurkat and TCR negative cell lines (Fig. 9D) and to mount a cytolytic response in CTL (Fig. 9C and data not shown) . However truncation of the ζ portion to residue 59 in chimera CD16:7:ζ(48-59) abrogates the ability of tripartite fusion to direct calcium responsiveness in TCR positive or negative Jurkat cells or cytolysis in mature CTL (Fig. 9C and 9D and data not shown) . To examine the contributions of individual residues within the 18-residue motif, we prepared a number of mutant variants by site-directed mutagenesis, and evaluated their ability to mediate receptor-directed killing under conditions of low (Figs. 10A and 10D) or high (Figs. 10B and 10E) expression of chimeric receptor. Fig. 10A-F shows that while a number of relatively conservative substitutions (i.e., replacing acidic residues with their cognate amides, or tyrosine with phenylalanine) which spanned residues 59 to 63 yielded moderate compromise of cytolytic efficacy, in general the variants retained the ability to mobilize calcium. However collectively these residues comprise an important submotif inasmuch as their deletion eliminates cytolytic activity. Conversion of Tyr 62 to either Phe or Ser eliminated both the cytotoxic and calcium responses. At the amino terminus of the 18 residue segment, replacement of Tyr 51 with Phe abolished both calcium mobilization and cytolytic activity, while substitution of Leu with Ser at position 50 eliminated the calcium response while only partially impairing cytolysis. Without being bound to a particular hypothesis, it is suspected that the inability of the LeuSOSer mutant to mobilize calcium in short term flow cytometric assays does not fully reflect its ability to mediate a substantial increase in free intracellular calcium ion over the longer time span of the cytolysis assay. However, calcium-insensitive cytolytic activity has been reported for some cytolytic T cell lines, and the possibility that a similar phenomenon underlies the results described herein has not been ruled out. Replacement of Asn48 with Ser partially impaired cytotoxicity in some experiments while having little effect in others. To investigate the potential role of redundant sequence elements, the intracellular domain of ζ was divided into three segments, spanning residues 33 to 65, 71 to 104, and 104 to 138. Each of these segments was attached to a CD16:CD7 chimera by means of a Mlul site introduced just distal to the basic membrane anchoring sequences of the intracellular domain of CD7 (see below; Fig. 11A) . Comparison of the cytolytic efficacy of the three elements showed they were essentially equipotent (Fig. 11B) . Sequence comparison (Fig. 11A) shows that the second motif bears eleven residues between tyrosines, whereas the first and third motifs bear ten. Although a precise accounting of the process of T cell activation has not been made, it is clear that aggregation of the antigen receptor, or of receptor chimeras which bear ζ intracellular sequences, triggers calcium mobilization, cytokine and granule release, and the appearance of cell surface markers of activation. The active site of (, a short linear peptide sequence probably too small to have inherent enzymatic activity, likely interacts with one or at most a few proteins to mediate cellular activation. It is also clear that mobilization of free calcium is not by itself sufficient for cellular activation, as the ability to mediate cytolysis can be mutationally separated from the ability to mediate calcium accumulation. As shown herein, addition of 18 residues from the intracellular domain of ζ to the transmembrane and intracellular domain of two unrelated proteins allows the resulting chimeras to redirect cytolytic activity against target cells which bind to the extracellular portion of the fusion proteins. Although chimeras bearing the 18 residue motif are approximately eight-fold less active than chimeras based on full length ζ, , the reduced activity can be attributed to the loss of transmembrane interactions which normally allow wild-type ζ to form disulfide linked dimers. That is, C deletion constructs which have the same carboxyl terminus as the motif and lack transmembrane Cys and Asp residues typically show slightly less activity than chimeras bearing only the 18 residue motif. The cytolytic competency element on which we have focused has two tyrosines and no serines or threonines, restricting the possible contributions of phosphorylation to activity. Mutation of either tyrosine destroys activity, however, and although preliminary experiments do not point to a substantial tyrosine phosphorylation following crosslinking of chimeric surface antigens bearing the 18 reside motif, the possible participation of such phosphorylation at a low level cannot be excluded. In addition to the effects noted at the two tyrosine residues, a number of amino acid replacements at the amino and carboxyl terminus of the motif weaken activity under conditions of low receptor density. Sequences similar to the ζ active motif can be found in the cytoplasmic domains of several other transmembrane proteins, including the CD3 δ and γ molecules, the surface IgM associated proteins mbl and B29, and the β and γ chains of the high affinity IgE receptor, FceRI (Reth, Nature 338:383 - 1989). Although the function of these sequences is uncertain, if efficiently expressed, each may be capable of autonomous T cell activation, and such activity may explain the residual TCR responsiveness seen in a zeta-negative mutant cell line (Sussman et al., Cell 5_2:85, 1988). ζ itself bears three such sequences, approximately equally spaced, and a rough trisection of the intracellular domain shows that each is capable of initiating a cytolytic response, η , a splice isoform of ζ (Jin et al., supra. 1990; Clayton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 8_8:5202, 1991), lacks the carboxyl half of the third motif. Because removal of the carboxyl half of the first motif abolishes activity, it appears likely that the majority of the biological effectiveness of η can be attributed to the first two motifs. Although by different measures η is equally as active as ζ in promoting antigen-mediated cytokine release (Bauer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 8J5:3842, 1991) or redirected cytolysis (see above) , η is not phosphorylated in response to receptor stimulation (Bauer et al., supra. 1991) . Thus either the presence of all three motifs is required for phosphorylation, or the third motif represents a favored substrate for an unidentified tyrosine kinase. EXAMPLE IX Cytolytic Signal Transduction by Human Fc Receptor To evaluate the actions of different human Fc receptor subtypes, chimeric molecules were created in which the extracellular domain of the human CD , CD5 or CD16 antigens were joined to the transmembrane and intracellular domains of the FcRIIγA, Bl, B2, and C subtypes (nomenclature of Ravetch and Kinet, Ann. Rev. Immunol. 9_:457, 1991) . Specifically, cDNA sequences corresponding to the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the previously described FcRIIA, Bl, and B2 isoforms were amplified from the preexisting clone PC23 or from a human tonsil cDNA library (constructed by standard techniques) using the following synthetic oligonucleotides primers: CCC GGA TCC CAG CAT GGG CAG CTC TT (SEQ ID NO: 18; FcRII A forward) ; CGC GGG GCG GCC GCT TTA GTT ATT ACT GTT GAC ATG GTC GTT (SEQ ID NO: 19; FcRII A reverse); GCG GGG GGA TCC CAC TGT CCA AGC TCC CAG CTC TTC ACC G (SEQ ID NO: 20; FcRII Bl and FcRII B2 forward); and GCG GGG GCG GCC GCC TAA ATA CGG TTC TGG TC (SEQ ID NO: 21; FcRII Bl and FcRII B2 reverse) . These primers contained cleavage sites for the enzymes BamHI and NotI, respectively, indented 6 residues from the 5' end. The NotI site was immediately followed by an antisense stop codon, either CTA or TTA. All primers contained 18 or more residues complementary to the 5' and 3' ends of the desired fragments. The cDNA fragment corresponding to the FcRIIγC cytoplasmic domain, which differs from the IIA isoform in only one amino acid residue (L for P at residue 268) was generated by site directed utagenesis by overlap PCR using primers of sequence: TCA GAA AGA GAC AAC CTG AAG AAA CCA ACA A (SEQ ID NO:22) and TTG TTG GTT TCT TCA GGT TGT GTC TTT CTG A (SEQ ID NO: 23) . The PCR fragments were inserted into vaccinia virus expression vectors which contained the CD16 or CD4 extracellular domains respectively and subsequently inserted into wild type vaccinia by recombination at the thymidine kinase locus, using selection for cointegration of E coli got to facilitate identification of the desired recombinants. The identities of all isoforms (shown in Fig. 12) were confirmed by dideoxy sequencing. Production of the chimeric receptor proteins was further confirmed by immunoprecipitation studies. Approximately 10 7 JRT3.T3.5 cells were infected for one hour in serum free IMDM medium with recombinant vaccinia at a multiplicity of infection of at least ten. Twelve hours post-infection, the cells were harvested and surface labeled with 0.5mCi 125 I per 10 7 cells using the lactoperoxidase/glucose oxidase method (Clark and Einfeld, supra) . The labeled cells were collected by centrifugation and lysed 1% NP-40, O.lmM MgCl 2 , 5mM KC1, 0.2M iodoacetamide and ImM PMSF. Nuclei were removed by centrifugation, and CD16 fusion proteins immunoprecipitated with antibody 4G8 and anti-mouse IgG agarose. Samples were electrophoresed under reducing conditions. All immunoprecipitated chimeric receptor molecules were of the expected molecular masses. To test the ability of the chimeric receptors to mediate an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium ion, the recombinant viruses were used to infect the TCR" mutant Jurkat cell line JRT3.T3.5 (as described herein) and cytoplasmic free calcium was measured in the cells (as described herein) following crosslinking of the receptor extracellular domains with monoclonal antibody 3G8 or Leu-3A (as described herein) . These experiments revealed that the intracellular domains of FcRγll A and C were capable of mediating an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium ion after crosslinking of the extracellular domains, whereas the intracellular domains of FcRγll Bl and B2 were inactive under comparable conditions (Fig. 13 A and 13B) . The CD4, CD5 and CD16 hybrids of FcRγll A shared essentially equal capacity to promote the calcium response (Fig. 13A-B) . Other cell lines, from both monocytic and lymphocytic lineages, were capable of responding to the signal initiated by crosslinking of the extracellular domains. To explore the involvement of the different FcRγll intracellular domains in cytolysis, human cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were infected with vaccinia recombinants expressing CD16:FcRγll A, Bl, B2 and C chimeras. The infected cells were then cocultured with 51 Cr-loaded hybridoma cells (i.e., 3G8 10-2 cells) which expressed cell surface antibody to CD16. In this assay CTLs bearing the CD16 chimera killed the hybridoma target cells (allowing release of free 51 Cr) if the CD16 extracellular domain of the chimera has been joined to an intracellular segment capable of activating the lymphocyte effector program; this cytolysis assay is described in detail below. Fig. 14A shows that CTL armed with CD16:FcRγIIA and C, but not FcRγll Bl or B2, are capable of lysing target cells expressing cell surface anti-CD16 antibody. To eliminate the possibility that the specific cytolysis was in some way attributable to interaction with the CD16 moiety, cytolysis experiments were conducted in which the FcRII intracellular domains were attached to a CD4 extracellular domain. In this case the target cells were HeLa cells expressing HIV envelope gpl20/4l proteins (specifically, HeLa cells infected with the vaccinia vector vPE16 (available from the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Disease AIDS Depository, Bethesda, MD) . As in the CD16 system, target cells expressing HIV envelope were susceptible to lysis by T cells expressing the CD4:FcRγll A chimera, but not FcRγll Bl or B2 (Fig. 14B) . The intracellular domains of FcRγll A and C share no appreciable sequence homology with any other protein, including the members of the extended FcRγ/TCRC family. To define the sequence elements responsible for induction of cytolysis, 5' and 3' deletions of the intracellular domain coding sequences (described below and shown in Fig. 15A) were prepared and were evaluated for efficacy in calcium mobilization and cytolysis assays (as described herein) . In the experiments in which the amino terminal portion of the intracellular domain was removed, the transmembrane domain of FcRγll was replaced with the transmembrane domain of the unrelated CD7 antigen to eliminate the possible contribution of interactions mediated by the membrane-spanning domain. Figs. 15B and 15C show that removal of the 14 carboxyl-ter inal residues, including tyrosine 298, resulted in a complete loss of cytolytic capacity and a substantial reduction in calcium mobilization potential. Further deletion to just before tyrosine 282 gave an identical phenotype (Figs. 15B and 15C) . Deletion from the N-terminus of the intracellular domain to residue 268 had no substantial effect on either calcium profile or cytolytic potency, whereas deletion to residue 275 markedly impaired free calcium release but had little effect on cytolysis (Figs. 15D and 15E) . Further deletion, to residue 282, gave FcRγll tails which lacked the ability to either mobilize calcium or trigger cytolysis (Figs. 15D and 15E) . The 'active element' defined by these crude measures is relatively large (36 amino acids) and contains two tyrosines separated by 16 residues. EXAMPLE X Additional T Cell Receptor and B Cell Receptor Trigger Proteins Other intracellular and transmembrane signal transducing domains according to the invention may be derived from the T cell receptor proteins, CD3 delta and T3 gamma, and the B cell receptor proteins, mbl and B29. The amino acid sequences of these proteins are shown in Fig. 16 (CD3 delta; SEQ ID NO: 24), Fig. 17 (T3 gamma; SEQ ID NO: 25), Fig. 18 (mbl; SEQ ID NO: 26), and Fig. 19 (B29; SEQ ID NO: 27). The portions of the sequences sufficient for cytolytic signal transduction (and therefore preferably included in a chimeric receptor of the invention) are shown in brackets. Chimeric receptors which include these protein domains are constructed and used in the therapeutic methods of the invention generally as described above. EXAMPLE XI CD28 Chimeric Receptors Because T cell activation has been shown to be augmented by engagement of CD28, the invention also includes therapeutic cells expressing pairs of chimeric receptors: the first chimera includes the intracellular domain of CD28, and the second chimera includes any intracellular or transmembrane signal-transducing domain described herein. In a given pair of chimeric receptors, the extracellular domains may be identical (for example, both may be derived from the CD4 protein and hence both recognize HIV or an HIV-infected cell) , or each may be designed to recognize a different target molecule on the surface of a cell or pathogen. In one particular example, a pair of chimeras may include two different extracellular domains, each recognizing a distinct antigen characteristic of a targeted tumor. Examples of tumor antigens include, without limitation, any of a number of carbohydrates (e.g., Le γ , sialyl-Le γ , Le x , and sialyl-Le x ) , carcinoembryonic antigen, CD40, modified CD44, a- fetoprotein, the T and Tn antigens, tenascin, and growth factor receptors (e.g., HER2/neu) . By increasing the number of tumor surface markers that must be recognized to elicit a potent destructive response, this approach increases therapeutic specificity by decreasing the likelihood and frequency of destruction of non-cancerous cells. This method of combinatorial control can be extended to any number of cooperating chimeric receptors and may be used to regulate any therapeutic method of the invention. CD28 chimeras are constructed and expressed according to the methods described herein. The CD28 sequence is provided in Aruffo and Seed (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:8573-8577 (1987)) . Also included in this reference are descriptions of the CD28 intracellular and transmembrane domains. An example of a chimera bearing an intracellular CD28 domain is disclosed in Romeo et al. (Cold Spring Harbor Svmp. on Quant. Biol. LVII: 117-125 (1992)) . EXAMPLE XII Experimental Methods Vaccinia Infection and Radioimmunoprecipitation Approximately 5 x 10 6 CV1 cells were infected for one hour in serum free DME medium with recombinant vaccinia at a multiplicity of infection (moi) of at least ten (titer measured on CVl cells) . The cells were placed in fresh medium after infection and labelled metabolically with 200μCi/ml 35 S-methionine plus cysteine (Tran 35 S-label, ICN; Costo Mesa, CA) in methionine and cysteine free DMEM (Gibco; Grand Island, NY) for six hours. The labelled cells were detached with PBS containing ImM EDTA, collected by centrifugation, and lysed in 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.05M Tris pH 8.0, 5mM EDTA, and ImM PMSF. Nuclei were removed by centrifugation, and CD4 proteins immunoprecipitated with OKT4 antibody and anti-mouse IgG agarose (Cappel, Durham, NC) . Samples were electrophoresed through 8% polyacrylamide/SDS gels under non-reducing (NR) and reducing (R) conditions. Gels containing 35 S-labelled samples were impregnated with En 3 Hance (New England Nuclear, Boston, MA) prior to autoradiography. Facilitated expression of the transmembrane form of CD16, CD16 TM , was measured by comparing its expression in CV1 cells singly infected with CD16 TM with expression in cells coinfected with viruses encoding CD16 TM and or γ chimeras. After infection and incubation for six hours or more, cells were detached from plates with PBS, ImM EDTA and the expression of CD16TM or the chimeras was measured by indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Calcium Flux Assay Jurkat subline E6 (Weiss et al., J. Immunol. 133:123-128 (1984)) cells were infected with recombinant vaccinia viruses for one hour in serum free IMDM at an moi of 10 and incubated for three to nine hours in IMDM, 10% FBS. Cells were collected by centrifugation and resuspended at 3 x 10 6 cells/ml in complete medium containing ImM Indo-1 acetomethoxyester (Grynkiewicz et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:3340-3450 (1985)) (Molecular Probes) and incubated at 37°C for 45 minutes. The Indo-1 loaded cells were pelleted and resuspended at 1 x 10 6 /ml in serum free IMDM and stored at room temperature in the dark. Cells were analyzed for free calcium ion by simultaneous measurement of the violet and blue fluorescence emission by flow cytometry (Rabinovitch et al., J. Immunol. 137:952-961 (1986)). To initiate calcium flux, either phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated Leu-3A (anti-CD4) (Becton Dickinson, Lincoln Park, NJ) at 1 μg/ml was added to the cell suspension followed by lOμg/ml of unconjugated goat anti-mouse IgG at time 0 or unconjugated 3G8 (anti-CD16) monoclonal antibody was added to the cell suspension at 1 μg/ml followed by 10 μg/ml of PE-conjugated Fab 2 ' goat anti-monse IgG at time 0. Histograms of the violet/blue emission ratio were collected from the PE positive (infected) cell population, which typically represented 40-80% of all cells. The T cell antigen receptor response in uninfected cells was triggered by antibody OKT3, without crosslinking. For experiments involving CD16 chimeric receptors, samples showing baseline drift toward lower intracellular calcium (without antibody) were excluded from the analysis. Histogram data were subsequently analyzed by conversion of the binary data to ASCII using Write Hand Man (Cooper City, FL) software, followed by analysis with a collection of FORTRAN programs. The violet/blue emission ratio prior to the addition of the second antibody reagents was used to establish the normalized initial ratio, set equal to unity, and the resting threshold ratio, set so that 10% of the resting population would exceed threshold. Cytolysis Assay Human T cell line WH3, a CD8 + CD4 " HLA B44 restricted cytolytic line was maintained in IMDM, 10% human serum with 100 U/ml of IL-2 and was periodically stimulated either nonspecifically with irradiated (3000 rad) HLA-unmatched peripheral blood lymphocytes and lμg/ml of phytohemagglutinin, or specifically, with irradiated B44-bearing mononuclear cells. After one day of nonspecific stimulation, the PHA was diluted to 0.5 μg/ml by addition of fresh medium, and after three days the medium was changed. Cells were grown for at least 10 days following stimulation before use in cytotoxicity assays. The cells were infected with recombinant vaccinia at a multiplicity of infection of at least 10 for one hour in serum free medium, followed by incubation in complete medium for three hours. Cells were harvested by centrifugation and resuspended at a density of 1 x 10 7 cells/ml. lOOμl were added to each well of a U-bottom microtiter plate containing 100 μl/well of complete medium. Cells were diluted in two-fold serial steps. Two wells for each sample did not contain lymphocytes, to allow spontaneous chromium release and total chromium uptake to be measured. The target cells, from HeLa subline S3, were infected in 6.0 or 10.0 cm plates at an approximate moi of 10 for one hour in serum free medium, followed by incubation in complete medium for three hours. They were then detached from the dishes with PBS, ImM EDTA and counted. An aliquot of 10 6 target cells (HeLa, Raji, or RJ2.2.5 cells for the CD4 chimeric receptor experiments and 3G8 10-2 cells; Shen et al., Mol. Immunol. 2_6:959 (1989) for the CD16 chimeric receptor experiments) was centrifuged and resuspended in 50 μl of sterile 51 Cr-sodium chromate (lmCi/ml, Dupont Wilmington, DE) for one hour at 37°C with intermittent mixing, then washed three times with PBS. 100 μl of labelled cells resuspended in medium at 10 5 cells/ml were added to each well. Raji and RJ2.2.5 target cells were labelled in the same manner as HeLa cells. The microtiter plate was spun at 750 x g for 1 minute and incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. At the end of the incubation period, the cells in each well were resuspended by gentle pipetting, a sample removed to determine the total counts incorporated, and the microtiter plate spun at 750 x g for 1 minute. lOOμl aliquots of supernatant were removed and counted in a gamma ray scintillation counter. The percent killing was corrected for the fraction of infected target cells (usually 50-90%) measured by flow cytometry. For infected effector cells the effector:target ratio was corrected for the percent of cells infected (usually 20- 50% for the CD4 chimeric receptor experiments and >70% for the CD16 chimeric receptor experiments) . In Vitro Mutagenesis of the ζ Sequence To create point mutations in amino acid residues 11 and or 15 of the ζ sequence, synthetic oligonucleotide primers extending from the BamHI site upstream of the ζ transmembrane domain, and converting native ζ residue 11 from Cys to Gly (C11G) or residue 15 from Asp to Gly (D15G) or both (C11G/D15G) were prepared and used in PCR reactions to generate mutated fragments which were reinserted into the wild type CD4: ζ constructs. To create ζ deletions, ζ cDNA sequences were amplified by PCR using synthetic oligonucleotide primers designed to create a stop codon (UAG) after residues 50, 59, or 65. The primers contained the cleavage site for the enzyme NotI indented five or six residues from the 5' end, usually in a sequence of the form CGC GGG CGG CCG CTA (SEQ ID NO: 11) , where the last three residues correspond to the stop anticodon. The NotI and stop anticodon sequences were followed by 18 or more residues complementary to the desired 3' end of the fragment. The resulting chimeras were designated CD16:CY51*, CD16:CE60* and CD16:CD66* respectively. The BamHI site upstream of the transmembrane domain and the NotI site were used to generate fragments that were reintroduced into the wild type CD16:ζ construct. Monomeric ζ chimeras were created by liberating the ζ transmembrane and membrane proximal intracellular sequences by BamHI and Sa digestion of the Asp " and Cys " CD4: construct described above and inserting the fragment into the CD16:ζE60* and CDl6:ζD66* construct respectively. CDl6:7:ζ(48-65) and CD16:7ζ (48-59) tripartite chimera constructio . To prepare the construct CD16:ζD66*, the ζ cDNA sequence corresponding to the transmembrane domain and the 17 following residues of the cytoplasmic domain was replaced by corresponding transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain obtained from the CD5 and CD7 cDNA. The CD5 and CD7 fragments were generated by a PCR reaction using forward oligonucleotides including a BamHI restriction cleavage site and corresponding to the region just upstream of the transmembrane domain of CD5 and CD7 respectively and the following reverse oligonucleotides overlapping the CD5 and CD7 sequences respectively and the ζ sequence which contained the Sad restriction cleavage site. CD5:ζ: CGC GGG CTC GTT ATA GAG CTG GTT CTG GCG CTG CTT CTT CTG (SEQ ID NO: 12) CD7:ζ: CGC GGG GAG CTC GTT ATA GAG CTG GTT TGC CGC CGA ATT CTT ATC CCG (SEQ ID NO: 13). The CD5 and CD7 PCR products were digested with BamHI and Sad and ligated to BamHI and Sad digested CD16:ζE60* and replacing the ζ sequence from BamHI to Sad by the CD7 fragment. To make the constructs CD16:CD5 and CD16:CD7, CD5 and CD7 fragments were obtained by PCR using an oligonucleotide containing a NotI restriction cleavage site and encoding a stop codon (UAA) after the residue Gln416 and Alal93 of CD5 and CD7 respectively. The CD5 and CD7 PCR fragment were digested with BamHI and NotI and inserted in the CD16:ζAsp66* construct. In Vitro Mutagenesis of the N-terminal Residues within the ζ Cytolytic Signal-Transducing Motif Synthetic oligonucleotide primers extending from the Sad site inside the ζ motif and converting native residue 48 from Asn to Ser (N48S) , residue 50 from Leu to Ser (L50S) and residue 51 from Tyr to Phe (Y51F) were synthesized and used in a PCR reaction to generate fragments that were reintroduced into the wild type CD16:7: (48-65) construct. In Vitro Mutagenesis of C-terminal Residues within the ζ Cytolytic Signal-Transducing Motif Synthetic oligonucleotide primers extending from the NotI site 3' to the stop codon and converting native residue 60 from Glu to Gin (E60Q) , residue 61 from Glu to Gin (E61Q) , residue 62 from Tyr to Phe or Ser (Y62F or Y62S) and residue 63 from Asp to Asn (D63N) were synthesized and used in PCR to generate fragments that were subcloned into the wild type CD16:CD66* construct from the BamHI site to the NotI site. CD16:7:C(33-65) , CD16:7: (71-104) , CD16:7:£ (104-137) Chimera Constructions A CD7 transmembrane fragment bearing Mlul and NotI sites at the junction between the transmembrane and intracellular domains was obtained by PCR using an oligonucleotide with the following sequence: CGC GGG GCG GCC ACG CGT CCT CGC CAG CAC ACA (SEQ ID NO:14). The resulting PCR fragment was digested with BamHI and NotI and reinserted into the CD16:7: ζ (48-65) construct, ζ fragments encoding residues 33 to 65, 71 to 104, and 104 to 137 were obtained by PCR reaction using pairs of primers containing Mlul sites at the 5' end of the forward primers and stop codons followed by NotI sites at the 5' end of the reverse primers. In each case the restriction sites were indented six residues from the 5' terminus of the primer to insure restriction enzyme cleavage. C 33: CGC GGG ACG CGT TTC AGC CGT CCT CGC CAG CAC ACA (SEQ ID NO: 15) ; C 71: CGC GGG ACG CGT GAC CCT GAG ATG GGG GGA AAG (SEQ ID NO: 16) ; and ζ 104: CGC GGG ACG CGT ATT GGG ATG AAA GGC GAG CGC (SEQ ID NO: 17) . Construction of FcRγllA Deletion Mutants Carboxyl terminal FcRIIA deletion mutants were constructed by PCR in the same fashion as for the full length constructs, converting the sequences encoding tyrosine at positions 282 and 298 into stop codons (TAA) . The N-terminal deletions were generated by amplifying fragments encoding successively less of the intracellular domain by PCR, using oligonucleotides which allowed the resulting fragments to be inserted between Mlul and NotI restriction sites into a previously constructed expression plasmid encoding the CD16 extracellular domain fused to the CD7 transmembrane domain, the latter terminating in a Mlul site and the junction between the transmembrane and the intracellular domain. OTHER EMBODIMENTS The examples described above demonstrate that aggregation of ζ , η , or γ chimeras suffices to initiate the cytolytic effector cell response in T cells. The known range of expression of ζ, η, and γ, which includes T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, basophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mast cells, suggests that conserved sequence motifs may interact with a sensory apparatus common to cells of hematopoietic origin and that an important component of host defense in the immune system may be mediated by receptor aggregation events. The potency of the cytolytic response and the absence of a response to target cells bearing MHC class II receptors demonstrates that chimeras based on ζ, η, or γ form the basis for a genetic intervention for AIDS through adoptive immunotherapy. The broad distribution of endogenous ζ and γ and evidence that Fc receptors associated with γ mediate cytotoxicity in different cells types (Fanger et al., Immunol. Today jL0.:92-99 (1989)) allows a variety of cells to be considered for this purpose. For example, neutrophilic granulocytes, which have a very short lifespan (« 4h) in circulation and are intensely cytolytic, are attractive target cells for expression of the chimeras. Infection of neutrophils with HIV is not likely to result in virus release, and the abundance of these cells (the most prevalent of the leukocytes) should facilitate host defense. Another attractive possibility for host cells are mature T cells, a population presently accessible to retroviral engineering (Rosenberg, Sci. Am. 262 :62-69 (1990)). With the aid of recombinant IL-2, T cell populations can be expanded in culture with relative ease, and the expanded populations typically have a limited lifespan when reinfused (Rosenberg et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 323 :570-578 (1990)) . Under the appropriate conditions, HIV recognition by cells expressing CD4 chimeras should also provide itogenic stimuli, allowing the possibility that the armed cell population could respond dynamically to the viral burden. Although we have focused here on the behavior of the fusion proteins in cytolytic T lymphocytes, expression of the chimeras in helper lymphocytes might provide an HIV-mobilized source of cytokines which could counteract the collapse of the helper cell subset in AIDS. Recent description of several schemes for engineering resistance to infection at steps other than virus penetration (Friedman et al., Nature 335:452-454 (1988) ; Green et al., Cell 58:215-223 (1989); Malim et al.. Cell 5_8:205-214 (1989); Trono et al., Cell 5_9_:il3-120 (1989); Buonocore et al., Nature 345:625-628 (1990)) suggests that cells bearing CD4 chimeras could be designed to thwart virus production by expression of appropriate agents having an intracellular site of action. The ability to transmit signals to T lymphocytes through autonomous chimeras also provides the ability for the regulation of retrovirally engineered lymphocytes in vivo. Crosslinking stimuli, mediated for example by specific IgM antibodies engineered to remove complement- binding domains, may allow such lymphocytes to increase in number in situ, while treatment with similar specific IgG antibodies (for example recognizing an amino acid variation engineered into the chimeric chain) could selectively deplete the engineered population. Additionally, anti-CD4 IgM antibodies do not require additional crosslinking to mobilize calcium in Jurkat cells expressing CD4: ζ chimeras. The ability to regulate cell populations without recourse to repeated extracorporeal amplification may substantially extend the range and efficacy of current uses proposed for genetically engineered T cells. To create other chimeras consisting of (, η or γ intracellular sequences, cDNA or genomic sequences encoding an extracellular domain of the receptor can be endowed with a restriction site introduced at a location just preceding the transmembrane domain of choice. The extracellular domain fragment terminating in the restriction site can then be joined to ζ, η, or γ sequences. Typical extracellular domains may be derived from receptors which recognize complement, carbohydrates, viral proteins, bacteria, protozoan or metazoan parasites, or proteins induced by them. Similarly, ligands or receptors expressed by pathogens or tumor cells can be attached to ζ, η, or γ sequences, to direct immune responses against cells bearing receptors recognizing those ligands. While the invention has been described in connection with specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood that it is capable of further modifications and this application is intended to cover variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within the art to which the invention pertains and as may be applied to the essential features hereinbefore set forth as follows in the scope of the appended claims.
