The cellular and subcellular events governing Ab production with specificity for self Ags are poorly understood. In this study we examined the role of cellular interactions and cytokines in regulating the production of anti-DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) Ab, a major autoantibody in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Topo I-specific T cell clones derived from SSc subjects and healthy donors were cultured with autologous peripheral blood B cells. Anti-topo I Ab production was induced by five of seven topo I-specific T cell clones derived from SSc subjects, but by none of eight T cell clones generated from healthy controls. However, two of the T cell clones from healthy controls provided help to HLA-DR-matched SSc B cells to produce anti-topo I Ab. The analysis of cytokine mRNA expression revealed that the ability to promote anti-topo I autoantibody production was strictly correlated with IL-2 and IL-6 expression by the T cell clones. Kinetic studies showed that IL-2 was required throughout the culture period for maximal autoantibody production and that both MHC-TCR and CD40-CD40L interactions were essential during the early phase of the culture. IL-6 was important in the late phase. Th1 clones (producing IL-2, but no IL-6) and Th2 clones (producing IL-6, but no IL-2) synergically activated autologous B cells to produce anti-topo I Ab. These results indicate that T cell-dependent B cell activation resulting in anti-topo I autoantibody production requires a series of temporally defined cell contact and soluble stimuli. 相似文献

The effects exerted on the in vitro development of purified protein derivative (PPD)-specific or Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus group I (Der p I)-specific T cell lines (TCL) and T cell clones (TCC) by IL-4 or IFN-gamma addition or neutralization in human PBMC cultures were examined. PBMC from two normal individuals, which were stimulated with PPD and then cultured in IL-2 alone, developed into PPD-specific TCL and TCC able to produce IFN-gamma and IL-2 but not IL-4 and IL-5 (Th1-like). IFN-gamma or anti-IL-4 antibody addition in bulk cultures before cloning did not influence the PPD-specific TCL profile of cytokine production. In contrast, the addition of IL-4 resulted in the development of PPD-specific TCL and TCC able to produce not only IFN-gamma and IL-2 but also IL-4 and IL-5. PBMC from one atopic Der p I-sensitive patient, which were stimulated with Der p I and then cultured in IL-2 alone, developed into Der p I-specific TCL and TCC able to produce IL-5 and large amounts of IL-4 but no IFN-gamma (Th2-like). The addition in bulk cultures, before cloning, of either IFN-gamma or anti-IL-4 antibody markedly inhibited the development of Der p I-specific T cells into IL-4- and IL-5-producing TCL. Accordingly, the development into Der p I-specific Th2-like TCC was significantly reduced by the addition of IFN-gamma in bulk culture and was virtually suppressed by the presence of both IFN-gamma and anti-IL-4 antibody. These data suggest that the presence or the absence of IL-4 and IFN-gamma in bulk cultures of PBMC before cloning may have strong regulatory effects on the in vitro development of human CD4+ T cells into Th1 or Th2 clones. 相似文献

We used an adoptive transfer system and CD4+ T cell clones with defined lymphokine profiles to examine the role of CD4+ T cells and the types of lymphokines involved in the development of B cell memory and affinity maturation. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-specific CD4+ Th2 clones (which produce IL-4 and IL-5 but not IL-2 or IFN-gamma) were capable of inducing B cell memory and affinity maturation, after transfer into nude mice or after transfer with unprimed B cells into irradiated recipients and immunization with TNP-KLH. In addition, KLH-specific Th1 clones, which produce IL-2 and IFN-gamma but not IL-4 or IL-5, were also effective in inducing B cell memory and high affinity anti-TNP-specific antibody. The induction of affinity maturation by Th1 clones occurred in the absence of IL-4, as anti-IL-4 mAb had no effect on the affinity of the response whereas anti-IFN-gamma mAb completely blocked the response. Th1 clones induced predominantly IgG2a and IgG3 antibody, although Th2 clones induced predominantly IgG1 and IgE antibody. We thus demonstrated that some Th1 as well as some Th2 clones can function in vivo to induce Ig synthesis. These results also suggest that a single type of T cell with a restricted lymphokine profile can induce both the terminal differentiation of B cells into antibody secreting cells as well as induce B cell memory and affinity maturation. Moreover, these results suggest that B cell memory and affinity maturation can occur either in the presence of Th2 clones secreting IL-4 but not IFN-gamma, or alternatively in the presence of Th1 clones secreting IFN-gamma but not IL-4. 相似文献

Carrier (KLH)-specific type 1 T cell clones (Th1), which are defined by secretion of IL-2 and IFN-gamma but not IL-4, and type 2 (Th2) clones, which secrete IL-4, but not IL-2 or IFN-gamma, have been isolated and analyzed for their ability to collaborate in providing help for B cells to secrete phosphorylcholine-specific IgM antibodies. The resulting antibody responses exhibited a characteristic pattern suggesting two distinct regulatory interactions among the Th1, Th2, and B cells. At low doses of antigen, Th1 cells enhanced the helper function of the Th2 cells, an effect due primarily to IL-2. At high doses of antigen, Th1 cells or IFN-gamma inhibited Th2-dependent antibody responses. The inhibitory effect of Th1 or IFN-gamma affected primarily the hapten-carrier-linked portion of the response. The overall effect was a modulation of the antigen dose-response curve for antibody production, eliminating the sharp increases in dose response mediated by isolated T cell clones. The data suggest that collaborative interactions of Th1 and Th2 cells in antibody production may have important physiological consequences. 相似文献

Costimulatory requirements of murine Th1 clones. The role of accessory cell-derived signals in responses to anti-CD3 antibody 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We examined the role of accessory cell-derived signals in promoting growth and lymphokine production by murine Th1 clones. Five of six Th1 clones failed to proliferate to immobilized anti-CD3 antibody despite producing IL-2 and IFN-gamma. These clones became unresponsive to Ag after exposure to anti-CD3. With the addition of irradiated splenic accessory cells (SAC), Th1 clones proliferated to anti-CD3 and produced greater amounts of IL-2 and IFN-gamma. High doses of plate-bound anti-CD3 completely inhibited responses of these clones to IL-2 and diminished the growth-promoting activity of SAC. The costimulatory effects of SAC on growth of Th1 clones were also seen in the presence of exogenous IL-2, indicating that enhanced IL-2 production alone was not responsible for the costimulatory effect. Delivery of the costimulatory signal from SAC required their close proximity to the T cells. The costimulatory activity of SAC was not reproduced by the addition of IL-1, IL-6, or IL-1 plus IL-6. IL-7 induced weak proliferation of Th1 clones, but did not synergize with plate-bound anti-CD3. Our results suggest a model in which SAC-derived costimulatory signals regulate growth of Th1 cells primarily at the level of cell cycle progression rather than at the level of IL-2 production. 相似文献

CD4+ T lymphocytes are divided in Th1 cells that produce interferon (IFN) gamma and Th2 cells that synthesize IL-4. These subsets may arise from a common precursor: a combination of IL-12 plus anti-IL-4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) drives Th1 cell differentiation while IL-4 plus anti-IFN gamma mAb favor Th2 cell development. TCR stimulation activates protein kinase C that controls a calcium entry through L type calcium channels in Th2 cells. L type calcium channels are induced during Th2 but not Th1 cell differentiation. In addition, L type calcium channel inhibitors may be successfully used in the treatment of an experimental model of Th2 cell-mediated immunopathology. Thus, this signaling pathway that characterizes Th2 cells can be a target for the treatment of Th2 diseases. 相似文献

To analyze the capability of IL-1 and IL-6 in the induction of chemokine (CF) production by mouse thymus epithelial cell (MTEC1) clones, MTEC1 cells were cloned through one cell culture and individual cell clones were established in long term culture referred to as MTEC1-DW clones. The constitutive production of IL-1, IL-6 and CF by MTEC1-DW clones was evaluated and the patterns of the cytokine production determined. Addition of exogenous IL-1 or IL-6 or both to the cultures of those MTEC1-DW clones that are unable to produce CF, and incubated for 2 days, then, to assess the chemotactic activity in the cell culture supernatants (SNs). In the opposite, addition of anti-IL-1 mAb(s) to the cultures of those MTEC1-DW clones that can produce IL-1 and CF to neutralize secreted IL-1 then, to test chemotactic activity in the SNs after 2-day incubation. The results showed that in the MTEC1-DW clones which were unable to constitutively produce IL-1 or CF, addition of IL-1 could induce these cloned cells to produce CF with high chemotactic activity. By constrast, addition of anti-IL-1 mAb(s) to those MTEC1-DW clones that constitutively produce IL-1 and CF could significantly inhibit them to produce CF. IL-6 only exhibited weak activity in the induction of CF production by those cloned cells. Therefore, in the cytokine network regulation, CF production is mainly induced by endogenously produced IL-1 in MTEC1 cells. 相似文献

Optimal T cell activation and expansion require engagement of the TCR plus costimulatory signals delivered through accessory molecules. SLAM (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule), a 70-kDa costimulatory molecule belonging to the Ig superfamily, was defined as a human cell surface molecule that mediated CD28-independent proliferation of human T cells and IFN-gamma production by human Th1 and Th2 clones. In this study, we describe the cloning of mouse SLAM and the production of mAb against it which reveal its expression on primary mouse T and B cells. Mouse SLAM is expressed on highly polarized Th1 and Th2 populations, and is maintained on Th1, but not on Th2 clones. Anti-mouse SLAM mAb augmented IFN-gamma production by Th1 cells and Th1 clones stimulated through the TCR, but did not induce IFN-gamma production by Th2 cells, nor their production of IL-4 or their proliferation. Mouse SLAM is a 75-kDa glycoprotein that upon tyrosine phosphorylation associates with the src homology 2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2, but not SHP-1. Mouse SLAM also associates with the recently described human SLAM-associated protein. These studies may provide new insights into the regulation of Th1 responses. 相似文献

Human gamma globulin-specific T helper cell (Th) clones, activated by HGG in the presence of antigen (Ag)-presenting cells, stimulated polyclonal B cell proliferation. Both Th1 and Th2 clones induced B cell proliferation, but Th1 clones were generally 5- to 10-fold less efficient than Th2 in this capacity. Th1 and Th2 each induced proliferation of both small and large B cells, although Th1 induced less B cell proliferation than Th2, regardless of B cell size. Th1-induced B cell proliferation was increased significantly by stimulating the Th1 clones with immobilized anti-CD3 mAb. The B cell response to Ag-activated Th1 clones was also increased by the addition of rIL-4 or culture supernatants from activated Th2 clones, and this enhancement was abolished by addition of anti-IL-4 mAb. The differential capacity of the Th subsets to stimulate B cells could not be attributed to differences in the degree of Ag-induced activation of the Th clones as reflected by Th proliferation or Th expression of activation markers, RL388 Ag, IL-2R, or TfR. Taken together the results suggest that even though Th1 and Th2 are similarly activated by Ag-presenting cells, Ag-activated Th2 interact more effectively with B cells than Ag-activated Th1. It is possible that inefficient interaction and subsequent intercellular signaling between Th1 and B cells results in inefficient Th1-induced B cell proliferation, and that this deficiency may be circumvented by signals (e.g., lymphokines) provided by Th2, or by the stimulation of Th1 with plate-bound anti-CD3 Ab rather than Ag. 相似文献

IL-10 acts on the antigen-presenting cell to inhibit cytokine production by Th1 cells 总被引:99,自引:0,他引:99

Murine IL-10 (cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor) inhibits cytokine production by Th1 cell clones when they are activated under conditions requiring the presence of APC. By preincubating APC with IL-10, we demonstrate that IL-10 acts principally on APC to inhibit IFN-gamma production by Th1 clones. Moreover, IL-10 is not active when Th1 cells are stimulated with glutaraldehyde-fixed APC, which also indicates that its action involves regulation of APC function. Furthermore, IL-10 inhibits cytokine synthesis by Th1 cells stimulated with the super-antigen Staphylococcus enterotoxin B, which does not appear to require processing. Flow microfluorimetry purified splenic or peritoneal B cells and macrophages, and B cell and macrophage cell lines can present Ag to Th1 clones. However, IL-10 acts only on sorted macrophages and the macrophage cell line to suppress IFN-gamma production by Th1 clones. IL-10 does not show this effect when B cells are used as APC. In contrast, IL-10 does not impair the ability of APC to stimulate cytokine production by Th2 cells. IL-10 does not decrease IFN-gamma-induced I-Ad levels on a macrophage cell line. Inasmuch as IL-10 also inhibits IL-2-induced IFN-gamma production by Th1 cells in an Ag-free system requiring only the presence of accessory cells, these data suggest that IL-10 may inhibit macrophage accessory cell function which is independent of TCR-class II MHC interactions. 相似文献

Spleen cells, resting T cells, activated T cells, and T cell clones characterized as type 1 (Th1) and type 2 (Th2) were investigated for their ability to produce interferon (IFN) following in vitro culture with Newcastle disease virus (NDV). All of the above cell populations, including both Th1 and Th2 T cell clones, produced high levels of IFN following in vitro culture with NDV. This IFN was characterized as a mixture of IFN-alpha and IFN-beta with IFN-alpha being the predominate species of IFN contained in the mixture. IL-2 greatly enhanced the production of IFN-alpha/beta by all cell populations in response to NDV. These different T cell populations responded very differently to the immunoregulatory actions of IFN-gamma versus IFN-alpha/beta. IFN-alpha/beta was shown to be a potent inhibitor of Con A or IL-2-induced proliferation of different T cell populations. This inhibition was not associated with a reduction in lymphokine production since spleen cells or Th1 T cell clones cultured with Con A and IFN-alpha/beta had no decrease in IL-2 or IFN-gamma production when compared to Con A-stimulated control cultures. IFN-gamma had little to no inhibitory activity on Con A-induced proliferation of spleen cells. In fact, Con A-induced proliferation was usually enhanced by IFN-gamma when nylon wool-enriched T cells were assessed. Different results were observed when IFN-gamma and IFN-alpha/beta were investigated for their ability to inhibit IL-2-induced proliferation of different T helper cell clones. IFN-gamma and IFN-alpha/beta were both capable of inhibiting IL-2-induced proliferation of T cell clones characterized as type 2 (Th2). In contrast, IFN-gamma had no effect on IL-2-induced proliferation of Th1 clones. IFN-alpha/beta, however, inhibited IL-2-induced proliferative responses of both Th1 and Th2 T cell clones. These results document the facts that (1) IFN-gamma and IFN-alpha/beta differ in their immunoregulatory actions, (2) different T cell subpopulations vary in their susceptibility to IFN-gamma regulation, and (3) virus induction of IFN-alpha/beta appears to be a ubiquitous function associated with different T cell populations. 相似文献

T regulatory cells 1 inhibit a Th2-specific response in vivo 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

We recently described a new population of CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tr1) that inhibits proliferative responses of bystander T cells and prevents colitis induction in vivo through the secretion of IL-10. IL-10, which had been primarily described as a Th2-specific cytokine inhibiting Th1 responses, has displayed in several models a more general immune suppression on both types of effector T cell responses. Using an immediate hypersensitivity model in which BALB/c mice immunized with OVA (alum) normally generate Th2-dominated responses, we examined the ability of OVA-specific Tr1 T cell clones to inhibit OVA-specific cytokines and Ab responses. In contrast to Th2 or Th1 T cell clones, transfer of Tr1 T cell clones coincident with OVA immunization inhibited Ag-specific serum IgE responses, whereas IgG1 and IgG2a synthesis were not affected. This specific inhibition was mediated in part through IL-10 secretion as anti-IL-10 receptor Abs treatment reverted the inhibitory effect of Tr1 T cell clones. Although specifically targeted to IgE responses, Tr1 clones' inhibitory effects were more profound as they affected Ag-specific Th2 cell priming both in term of proliferative responses and cytokine secretion. These results suggest that regulatory T cells may play a fundamental role in maintaining the balance of the immune system to prevent allergic disorders. 相似文献

Th17 cells, a recently discovered inflammatory T cell subtype, have been implicated with autoimmune disorders. However, mechanism of generation or functions of intratumoral Th17 cells are still unclear. We have been investigating the mechanism of induction and role of Th17 cells in malignant gliomas using primary tumor as well as cell lines. We report here that: (1) a higher frequency of Th17 cells in gliomas were associated with higher number of myeloid (CD11b) cells as well as the expression of TGF-β1 or IL-6; (2) conditioned medium from glioma cells (Gl CM) induced Th17 cell differentiation, which was inhibited by anti-TGF-β1 and anti-IL-6; (3) glioma-associated monocytes secreted Th17-promoting cytokines IL-1β and IL-23; (4) CM from glioma and monocyte co-culture (Gl+Mo CM) induced high frequency of Th17 cells in naïve T cell culture, which was abrogated by anti-IL-1β and anti-IL-23 antibodies; (5) In vitro Gl+Mo CM-mediated Th17 generation was associated with a decrease in IFN-γ and a concomitant increase in IL-10 secretion. Anti-TGF-β1, but not anti-IL-6, significantly reversed this cytokine profile. These results demonstrate prevalence of Th17 cells in gliomas and implicate the cytokines derived from the tumor as well as infiltrating myeloid cells in the induction of Th17 cells in glioma microenvironment. Moreover, the data also suggest that glioma-associated Th17 cells may contribute to immune-suppression via TGF-β1-induced IL-10 secretion. Further studies on the mechanism of tumor-infiltration, developmental pathways, and pro-/anti-tumor functions of Th17 cells will provide rationale for developing novel adjuvant immunotherapeutic strategies for malignant gliomas. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 inhibits production of Th1 lymphokines but not of Th2 lymphokines. 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33
PGE2 is known to inhibit IL-2 and IFN-gamma production from Th cells and is widely viewed as a general immunosuppressant. However, PGE2 was found not to inhibit IL-4 production from Th2 clones, and IL-5 production from these clones was slightly enhanced. The same results were obtained with short term T cell lines, which indicates that the lack of inhibition of IL-4 and IL-5 production by PGE2 is a general phenomenon. PGE2 functions by increasing cAMP levels through activation of adenylate cyclase. Despite its failure to inhibit lymphokine release, PGE2 was capable of increasing cAMP levels in Th2 cells, and forskolin, a direct activator of adenylate cyclase, also did not inhibit IL-4 or IL-5 production. These data indicate that the failure of PGE2 to inhibit IL-4 and IL-5 production was not due to an inability of PGE2 to induce an increase in intracellular cAMP, and suggested instead that the expression of IL-4 and IL-5 in Th2 cells is insensitive to elevated cAMP levels. When Th0 clones were examined, PGE2 was again found to differentially affect IL-2 and IL-4 production in three of five clones tested. In two additional Th0 clones, both IL-2 and IL-4 production were inhibited. These data suggest that lymphokine production may be regulated on two different levels. First, Th1- and Th2-associated lymphokines may be differentially sensitive to intracellular signals such as cAMP. Second, T cell subsets may exist, including subsets of Th0 cells, with different signaling pathways. In addition, our data suggest that PGE2 may play an important role in regulating the development of a response dominated by Th1- or Th2-associated lymphokines. 相似文献

Activated CD4+ T cells can be classified into distinct subsets; the most divergent among them may be considered to be the IL-2 and IFN-gamma-producing Th1 clones and the IL-4 and IL-5-producing Th2 clones. Because Th1 and Th2 clones can usually be detected only after several months of culture, we used conditions that modulate the IL-2 and IL-4 production in short term culture. Here we show that freshly isolated and subsequently in vitro-activated CD4+ T cells that were cultured for 11 days with rIL-2 and restimulated showed a IFN-gamma+ IL-2+ IL-3+ IL-4- IL-5- pattern. Because these cells were not capable of providing B cell help for IgG1, IgG2a, or IgE in an APC- and TCR-dependent T-B cell assay, they expressed a phenotype typical for most Th1 clones. In contrast, activated T cells that were cultured for 11 days with IL-2 plus a mAb to CD3 and then restimulated produced a IFN-gamma- IL-2- IL-3+ IL-4+ IL-5+ pattern. These cells were capable of providing B cell help for IgG1, IgG2a, and IgE synthesis and thus presented a phenotype typical for Th2 clones. Similar results were observed when mitogenic mAb to Thy-1.2 or to framework determinants of the alpha beta TCR were used. The induction of Th1- and Th2-like cells did not depend on the relative expression of CD44 or CD45 by the T cells before activation in vitro. Because the incubation of activated T cells with anti-CD3/TCR mAb induced high unrestricted lymphokine production, the latter might be responsible for the Th2-like lymphokine pattern observed after restimulation. To address this point, TCR V beta 8+ and V beta 8- T cell blasts were co-cultured in the presence of mAb to V beta 8. After restimulation, V beta 8+ cells had a IL-4high IL-2low phenotype and V beta 8- cells had a IL-4low IL-2high phenotype. This demonstrates that TCR ligation but not lymphokines alone are capable of inducing Th2-like cells, and this points out a central role for the TCR in the generation of T cell subsets. 相似文献

Role of Th1 and Th2 cytokines in BCG-induced IFN-gamma production: cytokine promotion and simulation of BCG effect 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Induction of a T-helper-type 1 (Th1) immune response is indispensable for successful treatment of superficial bladder cancer with BCG. In this study possible involvement of various cytokines in BCG action as well as their potential roles in enhancing and mimicking BCG effect were explored. In immunocompetent cell cultures, IFN-gamma, a major Th1 cytokine, appears to be a late responsive cytokine to BCG stimulation. Its induction requires involvement of various endogenously produced Th1 and Th2 cytokines. Functional abolishment of any one of these cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, IL-18, GMCSF, TNF-alpha, or IFN-alpha, except IL-10) by neutralizing antibodies leads to reduced IFN-gamma production (19-82% inhibition in mouse and 44-77% inhibition in human systems, respectively). In mice cytokines IL-2, IL-12, IL-18, and GMCSF are observed to synergize with BCG for IFN-gamma production, whereas in human cytokines IL-2, IL-12, TNF-alpha, and IFN-alpha exhibit similar synergistic effects. Rational combinations of these Th1-stimulating cytokines (IL-12 plus IL-18 in mice and IL-2 plus IL-12 in humans, respectively) dramatically up-regulate IFN-gamma production that is incomparably superior to BCG for induction of this cytokine. These results suggest that combined Th1-stimulating cytokines and combinations of BCG plus selected Th1-stimulating cytokines are rational candidates for further study in the treatment of bladder cancer patients. 相似文献

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GmCSF) is a lymphokine secreted by class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted T cells after lectin or antigen stimulation. To investigate the relationship between interleukin-2 (IL-2) and GmCSF production, we utilized long-term cultures of porcine myelin basic protein (PMBP)-specific T helper cell clones that were maintained with IL-2 in the absence of antigen or irradiated antigen-presenting cells (APC). We have found that supernatants of these T cell clones contained GmCSF activity after IL-2 stimulation. Inhibition of cell proliferation by irradiation failed to stop GmCSF production. When these clones were stimulated with PMBP and irradiated APC in the presence of anti-IL-2 receptor antibody, the T cell supernatants still contained GmCSF activity. These results indicate that (1) GmCSF production by T helper clones after IL-2 stimulation is independent of cell proliferation and (2) antigen/MHC-stimulated GmCSF production by T cell clones can occur by an IL-2-independent pathway. 相似文献

Suplatast tosilate (IPD-1151T) is an antiallergic agent that suppresses airway eosinophil infiltration in asthma. We investigated the effects of IPD-1151T on proliferative response and cytokine production by human antigen-specific T cell lines. Purified protein derivatives (PPD)-specific T helper 1 (Th1) cell lines and Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f)-specific T helper 2 (Th2) cell lines were established from patients with asthma sensitized with house dust mite. Stimulation of PPD-specific and Der f-specific T cell lines with relevant antigens resulted in production of mostly interferon (IFN)-gamma and of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-5, respectively. IPD-1151T did not inhibit the proliferative responses of either the Th1 or Th2 cell line to antigens. Although IPD-1151T did not inhibit IFN-gamma production by PPD-specific Th1 cell lines, it did inhibit IL-4 and IL-5 production by antigen-stimulated Der f-specific Th2 cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. IPD-1151T directly inhibited cytokine production by Der f-specific Th2 cell lines stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 antibodies. Although IPD-1151T did not inhibit the clonal expansion of memory T cells among PBMCs into PPD-specific Th1 and Th2 cell lines, it did inhibit IL-4 and IL-5 production by Der f-specific Th2 cell lines but not IFN-gamma production by PPD-specific Th1 cell lines. These results suggest that IPD-1151T selectively inhibits Th2-type cytokine production. 相似文献

Activation of Th lymphocytes requires that Ag be presented on the surface of accessory cells displaying Ia Ag. A number of studies have concluded that the T cell also requires IL-1 from accessory cells. However, we recently reported that one murine T cell clone (D10.G4.1) produced its own IL-1-like activity after encountering APC (9). In this report, we demonstrate that 1) IL-1 production is a common property of murine T cell clones, 2) T cell IL-1 activity is blocked by anti-IL-1-alpha antiserum, 3) IL-1-alpha mRNA can be directly visualized in individual cloned T cells using in situ hybridization techniques, and 4) IL-1 appears to serve an autocrine role in the activation of T cell clones inasmuch as anti-IL-1-alpha antiserum blocks cell proliferation when the T cell is the only IL-1 source. 相似文献
