Seventy-four patients with multiple myeloma, 17 untreated and 57 treated, were studied to characterize their peripheral blood lymphocytes. PBL were studied for E, EAC, and EA rosette-forming cells, SIg, and Fc receptor-bearing cells. The responses to HA, Con A, and PWM were assessed as well as their ability to stimulate or to respond in a MLC. Finally, the capacity of mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes to lyse Chang cells, CRBC, and PHA-stimulated lymphoblasts was examined. These results were compared with a group of normals and patients with benign monoclonal gammopathy. In untreated myeloma patients there was a normal percentage of T cells, but an abnormal distribution of B cells as judged by a decrease in SIg-bearing cells, as well as an increase in EAC rosette-forming cells. Subpopulation analysis showed a marked increase in EAC rosette-forming cells without SIg. PHA, Con A, and PWM, and response in MLC were all normal. However, the ability to stimulate in MLC was significantly depressed. Treated myeloma patients had similar findings, except that the response to PWM was significantly depressed. The capacity of PWM-stimulated cells to lyse target cells was depressed in both groups. The results indicate that, in the peripheral blood of myeloma patients, there are populations of lymphocytes characterized by the presence of the EAC receptor without SIg, which are deficient in the capacity to stimulate an MLC response and the ability to be cytotoxic when stimulated by PWM. The results form a baseline for the study of abnormal lymphoid function in human myeloma. 相似文献

The proportion of lymphocytes forming E, EA, and EAC rosettes after treatment with human interferon preparations in vitro was measured. While interferon increased the percentage of lymphocytes forming E rosettes, the percentage of cells forming EA rosettes was diminished. The proportion of lymphocytes forming EAC rosettes was not altered to any major extent by interferon treatment. The same effects were observed when fibroblast interferon, purified to homogeneity with regard to molecular weight, was used. 相似文献

The human lymphoid cell line MOLT 4, from a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia, was initially considered to be derived from T lymphocytes, on the basis of rosette formation with sheep erythrocytes (E). This cell line has now also been found to form rosettes with sheep erythrocytes sensitized with rabbit antibody and mouse complement (EAC). Evidence is presented that the formation of both E and EAC rosettes is due to two separate receptors on the MOLT cells: (a) EAC rosettes were formed more rapidly and were more stable than E rosettes; (b) preincubation of MOLT with an EAC membrane preparation inhibited resetting with EAC and not with E; (c) MOLT formed rosettes with EAC prepared from trypsinized E, but did not bind to trypsin-treated E alone. The implications of this finding, in regard to the derivation of this cell line, are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Enriched preparations of E, EA and EAC rosettes formed by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were freeze-etched and examined electron-microscopically. In E rosettes only lymphocytes were involved, whereas in EA and EAC rosettes lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes participated as rosette-forming cells. In EA and EAC rosettes, cytoplasmic extensions of the rosette forming cell were seen to penetrate the sheep red blood cell, whereas E rosettes showed a broad zone of adherence without penetration. None of the three types of rosettes showed an interspace between the membranes. Unlike E rosettes, EA and EAC rosettes showed polarity in the adherence of sheep red blood cells. These observations made by freeze-etch electron microscopy indicate distinct morphological differences between rosettes formed with coated or uncoated erythrocytes.The authors wish to thank Prof. Dr. A.

Lymphocyte membrane receptors in cultures treated with mitogens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lymphocyte membrane receptors for sheep erythrocytes (E) and human erythrocytes sensitized with antibody and complement (HEAC) were used as markers for human T and B cells, respectively. Combining the method of rosette formation with E and HEAC with radioautography, we have studied the effect of in vitro stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (Con A), pokeweed mitogen (PWM), staphylococcal filtrate (SF) and mercuric chloride (HgCl2) on the proportion of small lymphocytes and blasts presenting these receptors. After mitogenic stimulation, small lymphocytes as well as blasts were found forming rosettes with E or HEAC, in variable proportions. PHA, Con A, SF and HgCl2 showed a similar effect in vitro since most of the blasts obtained after stimulation had receptors for E and a smaller proportion for HEAC.The stimulation with PWM led to a blast population made up of a higher percentage of HEAC than E rosette-forming cells. 相似文献

Stimulation of chicken lymphocytes by T- and B-cell mitogens. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Cultures of chicken spleen, peripheral blood, thymus, and bursal lymphocytes were tested for mitogenic stimulation by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), concanavalin A (ConA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM), bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), trypsin, and insulin. Spleen and blood leukocytes were stimulated by both the lectins and LPS, and also to some degree by trypsin and insulin as judged by increased incorporation of [3H]thymidine into acid-insoluble material. This was observed in cultures incubated in serum-free medium as well as in the presence of foetal bovine serum or autologous plasma. Thymus cells were reproducibly stimulated by high concentrations of PHA. No significant responses were obtained in bursal cell cultures with any of the compounds tested. Removal of cotton wool-adherent cells from the spleen cell suspensions resulted in a subpopulation of cells which were stimulated by PHA but showed little response to ConA, PWM, or LPS. This procedure did not remove surface immunoglobulin-bearing cells from the original suspension. Both these enriched spleen lymphocytes and the unfractionated spleen, blood and thymus leukocyte cultures were effectively stimulated by a partially purified PHA but with a highly purified PHA preparation only at very high concentrations. These and other results suggest that the mitogenic components in crude PHA preparations are different for chicken and human or mouse cells. 相似文献

Guinea pig lymph node cells suspension (LNC-O) was filtered through a glass wool column and the effluent (LNC-G) was further filtered through a nylon column. In this effluent (LNC-NE) about 30 per cent of the lymphocytes was identified as non-rosette forming cells (non-RFC). The non-RFC fraction was separated from LNC-NE fraction by Ficol-Conray specific gravity centrifugation or effluent cells reacted previously to rabbit red blood cells (RRBC). The upper layer after centrifugation, designated non-RFC fraction, was separated. In this fraction 96% of the cells were lymphocytes and about 95% of them were non-RFC, which lacked receptors for rabbit red blood cells (RRBC) or EAC and detectable surface immunoglobulin by conventional techniques. Though the response of the lymphocytes in the non-RFC fraction to mitogenic (Con-A, LPS) or antigenic stimulation was lower in comparison with that in RFC-rich fraction, the response of non-RFC to ConA exceeded the response to LPS. These facts suggest that at least a portion of the non-RFC may be cells from the T-cell line. 相似文献

Peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy humans formed stable E rosettes with sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) at 37°C after culture with phytohemagglutinin or the divalent cation ionophore A23187. Cells manifesting this phenomenon exhibited “blast” morphology, appeared by 16 hr of culture, increased dramatically in percentage and absolute number by 62 hr, and persisted in large numbers for the duration of culture (182 hr). Unstimulated lymphocytes formed rosettes at 4°C but not at 37°C. Increased “stickiness” due to surface-bound lectin mitogen was not the cause of rosette formation at 37°C.Formation of E rosettes at 37°C has previously been considered a property of lymphocytes less differentiated than the circulating T cell (e.g., thymocytes, leukemic lymphoblasts). The present findings indicate that this property can be “reexpressed” during blastogenesis in culture.This observation also demonstrates technical problems associated with the use of SRBC to quantitate lymphocytes with complement receptors (B cells) by the EAC rosette assay in culture. False positives resulted from 37°C E rosette formation, but this was overcome by replacing the SRBC with guinea pig erythrocytes in the EAC assay. 相似文献

Unfractionated and fractionated uterine luminal protein (ULP) secretions collected from nonpregnant and pregnant beef cows on Day 17 post-breeding were tested in vitro for suppression of lymphocyte blastogenesis to the mitogen phytohemagglutinin (PHA). In replicated experiments, ULP from nonpregnant and pregnant cows was separated into five molecular weight (Mr) fractions with Sephacryl S-200. Unfractionated (25 to 400 μg/ml) and fractionated (25 to 100 μg/ml) ULP was added to cultures containing 5 × 105 bovine lymphocytes and 0.4 μg of PHA in a complete culture medium. At 48 hr, 0.5 μCi of 3H-thymidine was added to cultures, and cells were harvested at 60 h by automation. Thymidine incorporation data were expressed as percentage of control (no ULP) values. Unfractionated and all S-200 ULP fractions from nonpregnant and pregnant cows suppressed (P<0.05 to 0.001) lymphocyte blastogenesis to PHA, but to varying degrees of suppression. Unfractionated ULP was more suppressive (P<0.05) for pregnant than nonpregnant cows, which was likely due to the greater (P<0.05) immunosuppressive activity of S-200 fractions I (>219,000 Mr) and V (∼14,000 Mr) from the pregnant cows. At 25 μg ULP/ml, mean (± SEM) % of control values for fraction I from pregnant and nonpregnant cows were 9.1 ± 3.3 and 36.6 ± 8.5%, respectively (P<0.05). Values for fraction V were 15.7 ± 6.5 and 46.6 ± 6.1%, respectively (P<0.01). Within each reproductive class, fractions I and V were more suppressive (P<0.05) than fractions II, III and IV. Immunosuppression was not mediated by lymphocyte cytotoxicity. 相似文献

E (erythrocyte) and EAC (erythrocytes coated with antibody and complement) rosettes were quantitated in baboons, cebus monkeys and cotton-topped marmosets. There was poor correlation between E rosette levels and other parameter of T-lymphocyte function. In nonhuman primates, E rosettes were increased in the presence of thymosin fraction V, while human E rosettes were not affected. 相似文献

Subpopulations of human peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated by rosette formation and tested for functional activity. E -rosette-forming cells (E-RFC) and EAC-RFC were separated from non-resetting cells by sedimentation on Ficoll-Hypaque gradients. The efficiency of the method and the purity of the resulting subpopulations were high. E-RFC responded to PHA Con A, allogeneic leukocytes, and PPD, with higher levels of proliferative reactivity than the unseparated lymphocytes while E-RFC depleted, EAC-RFC, and null cells showed only low levels of reactivity. Reactivity to PWM and tetanus toxoid was also restricted to the E-RFC subpopulation, but was lower than that of unseparated cells. A staphylococcal antigen preparation triggered lymphoproliferative reactivity in the E-RFC, E-RFC depleted, EAC-RFC, and the null cell subpopulations. 51Cr release lymphocyte cytotoxicity against a human lymphoblast target cell line was found in the E-RFC and null cell fractions but was not observed with the EAC-RFC subpopulation. 相似文献

An enriched population of early myeloid cells has been obtained from normal mouse bone marrow by injection of mice with sodium caseinate and the removal of cells with C3 (EAC) rosettes by Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation. This enriched population had no EAC or Fc (EA) rosettes and contained 87% early myeloid cells stained for myeloperoxidase and/or AS-D-chloroacetate esterase, 7% cells in later stages (ring forms) of myeloid differentiation and 6% unstained cells, 2% of which were small lymphocytes. After seeding in agar with the macrophage and granulocyte inducer MGI, the enriched population showed a cloning efficiency of 14% when removed from the animal and of 24% after one day in mass culture. Both the enriched and the unfractionated bone marrow cells gave the same proportion of macrophage and granulocyte colonies. The normal early myeloid cells were induced to differentiate by MGI in mass culture in liquid medium to mature granulocytes and macrophages. The sequence of granulocyte differentiation was the formation of EA and EAC rosettes followed by the synthesis and secretion of lysozyme and morphological differentiation to mature cells. D+ myeloid leukemic cells with no EA or EAC rosettes had a similar morphology to normal early myeloid cells and showed the same sequence of differentiation. The induction of EA and EAC rosettes occurred at the same time in both the normal and D+ leukemic cells, but lysozyme synthesis and the formation of mature granulocytes was induced later in the leukemic than in the normal cells. The results indicate that selection for non-rosette-forming normal early myeloid cells also selected for myeloid colony forming cells, that these normal early myeloid cells can form colonies with differentiation to macrophages and granulocytes, that normal and D+ myeloid leukemic cells have a similar sequence of differentiation and that the normal cells had a greater sensitivity for the formation of mature cells by MGI. 相似文献

Rat spleen and lymph node lymphocytes have been frozen with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 1 °C/min and stored at ?196 °C for 10 min. The functional recovery of the cell populations was monitored by the mitogenic response (uptake of [3H]thymidine) to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or pokeweed mitogen (PWM) in culture after thawing. With 5 to 10% DMSO in the freezing medium, frozen-thawed lymph node cells were found to retain about 40% of their response to PHA. In contrast, frozen-thawed spleen cells responded better to PHA than fresh cells. The response to PWM was markedly decreased in both spleen and lymph node cell cultures.A similar effect was observed when DMSO was added to the culture medium of fresh spleen cells, i.e., an augmentation of the response to PHA and a suppression of the response to PWM. However, the concentrations of DMSO needed to induce this effect was more than 10-fold higher than that present in the culture medium after freezing and thawing.Since removal of adherent cells from the spleen cell population also produced an augmentation of the response to PHA, it is suggested that the freezing procedure and DMSO may have an inhibitory effect on suppressor cell functions present in spleen cell populations. 相似文献

The response of CLL (chronic lymphatic leukemia) lymphocytes to PHA, PWM, and Con A with respect to changes in surface markers and synthesis and secretion of immunoglobulin were examined. After PHA stimulation the percentage of cells bearing readily detectable surface immunoglobulin (SmIg) diminished rapidly whereas cells forming rosettes with sheep erythrocytes (E-rosettes) increased from less than 1% to 30 to 50%. The great majority of blast-transformed cells were E-rosette-positive cells with a small population of SmIg-positive blast cells also observed. Ig production in four of seven CLL lymphocyte populations was increased 2.5 to greater than 40-fold after 4 to 6 days of culture in the presence of PHA. In contrast, pokeweed mitogen did not affect Ig synthesis. Furthermore, the Ig secreted into the culture supernatant fluids from seven of eight CLL cases examined consisted almost entirely of free light chain molecules. In contrast, the cell lysates contained a significant proportion of intact Ig molecules. These results indicate that CLL cells can, under certain circumstances, be stimulated to synthesize and secrete increased amounts of Ig, but that there is a basic defect in the biosynthetic mechanism of these cells which result in the secretion of free light chains rather than intact immunoglobulin molecules. 相似文献

Venous blood from eight healthy subjects was divided into four fractions on a discontinuous albumin density gradient. The percentage recovery of lymphocytes was 82.3%; the purity of the lymphocyte fractions was 83.6%. The lymphocytes were cultured with PHA and Endotoxin, and the samples were analysed after 24, 48, and 72 hours. After PHA stimulation immunoblasts appeared up to 59.3% in the cultures from the 19-21% albumin fraction. After Endotoxin stimulation the maximum (75.8%) was reached in the heavy (25-27% albumin) fraction. Thus, it is concluded that the lymphocytes which can be stimulated with both the mitogens have different densities, the PHA-stimulable T lymphocytes being ligther than the Endotoxin-stimulable B lymphocytes. It is also concluded that as a mitogen Endotoxin is equal to PHA. 相似文献

Partitioning of cells in dextran-poly(ethylene glycol) aqueous-aqueous two-phase systems is a sensitive method for separating cells and for obtaining information on their surface properties. Highly purified lymphocytes were obtained by velocity sedimentation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and fractionated by countercurrent distribution (CCD, a multiple-step extraction procedure) in a charged two-polymer aqueous phase system. The lymphocytes remained viable after separation (order of 90%) and the E-rosetting cells responded (after adding back monocytes) to mitogens (PHA, Con A, PWM). Not only was the total lymphocyte population found to be highly heterogeneous (as evidenced by a broad and skewed distribution curve), but we were able to show that cells that rosetted with E, or had complement or Fc receptors were composed of additional subpopulations as well. The bulk of complement-receptor-bearing cells had the lowest partition coefficient (K), E-rosetting cells an intermediate K, and Fc-receptor-containing cells the highest K. The largest lymphocytes were among the subpopulation having the highest K and neither responded to T cell mitogens nor rosetted with E. Our results thus demonstrate that human peripheral blood lymphocytes can be subfractionated by CCD. The fractions are differentially enriched with lymphocyte subpopulations having characteristic surface markers and functional abilities. 相似文献

Interferon and the cellular immune response: separation of interferon-producing cells from DNA-synthetic cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Spleen cells from mice were separated by albumin discontinuous density gradient centrifugation into six fractions. Cells from each fraction were cultured with a variety of general mitogens and a specific antigen PPD. The cultures then were assayed for mitogenesis and interferon production. The fraction of cells producing interferon were found to belong to a different population of cells from those undergoing a DNA synthetic response. Treatment of the interferon-producing fraction of cells with anti-theta serum and complement eliminated the interferon-producing capabilities of the remaining cells after exposure to PHA, Con A, and PPD but not after exposure to PWM. The results suggest at least a two-cell requirement for the production of interferon in response to PHA, Con A or PPD stimulation. They also suggest that the interferon-producing cells do not belong to the thymus-dependent lymphocyte subpopulation. 相似文献

In the present study, the effect of the cell synchronization on the detection of T and B cell surface markers of two continuous lines of lymphoid cells (FL-74 and CT45-S) was examined. Suspension cultures were synchronized by deprivation of isoleucine and surface markers were quantitated by T rosette formation with guinea pig erythrocytes (E) and B rosette formation with an erythrocyte-antibody-complement (EAC) complex. After 24 hr, cells were resuspended in complete culture medium. Virtually 100% of FL-74 cells expressed the T cell marker at time 0, with a progressive decline to 80% at saturation density. A bell-shaped curve for expression of the EAC marker on CT45-S cells was seen with maximum expression in the logarithmic phase of the growth cycle. Spent culture medium was examined for the presence of free soluble receptor. Preincubation of E and EAC in appropriate old medium resulted in 42% inhibition of E rosettes and 42% inhibition of EAC rosettes with FL-74 and CT45-S cells, respectively. Thus quantitation of lymphocyte subpopulations as B, T or null cells with these cellular markers may be influenced by the age of the cell examined, phase of the cell cycle and the amount of free receptor present in the surrounding medium. 相似文献

This study describes a new method of detecting the in vitro stimulation of lymphocytes based on the appearance of cells having the property to cluster several layers of SRBC around themselves (CFC). The formation of multilayer rosettes is temperature dependent and requires trypan-blue-excluding, metabolically active blastoid cells. Non-separated cells as well as purified T cells stimulated with allogeneic leucocytes (MLR), specific antigens, or polyclonal mitogens (PWM, Con A) gave rise to CFC. Multilayer rosettes were not formed by separate B cells. In the MLR, CFC were detected 48 hr after the beginning of cultures and increased in number thereafter just like thymidine incorporation. The response to Con A and PWM was detected earlier and gave rise to two or three peaks, the first rise in the number of CFC coinciding with the peak of thymidine incorporation but the maximum increase occuring two or three days later. Treatment of blastoid cells with a serum specific for T cells, but not with an anti-immunoglobulin serum, abolished their ability to form ordinary or multilayer rosettes. When separated, however, on a nylon wool column, CFC were more adherent than the bulk of T cells. It is suggested that CFC form a subpopulation of T cells with distinct characteristics, allowing a direct assessment of membrane changes which take place when T lymphocytes are activated in vitro. 相似文献
