A comparison of the stimulatory activities of lymphoid dendritic cells and macrophages in T proliferative responses to various antigens 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The identities of murine accessory cells and the mechanism by which they process antigen and stimulate T cell proliferation have been examined with cell separation techniques and specific agents to block antigen catabolism. Using preparations of splenic dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (M phi) with minimal cross-contamination, we found that only DC could induce syngeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR), whereas both DC and M phi could initiate allogeneic MLR. This observation may have significant implications for syngeneic MLR as a manifestation of self Ia recognition, and for the cell type that defines self Ia during ontogeny. DC and M phi could present soluble antigens such as purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD) and Salmonella flagellin about equally well to antigen-specific T cell lines. M phi, however, were much more effective than the non-phagocytic DC at inducing T cell proliferation to whole Corynebacterium parvum organisms. These differences could not be attributed to differences in antigen uptake. The results suggest that the bacteria must be ingested and processed by phagocytes before T cell activation. Using the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine to inhibit antigen catabolism in accessory cells, we found that the presentation of large antigens by M phi and DC was abolished by chloroquine treatment, whereas T cell activation by antigens (such as PPD or integral membrane Ia for MLR) that apparently required no processing was relatively insensitive to chloroquine. Thus, in addition to differences between cells, discrete functions within each cell type can also be distinguished. 相似文献

Cellular requirements for induction of human primary proliferative responses to trinitrophenyl-modified cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Cellular requirements for induction of primary proliferative responses by human T cells to trinitrophenylated autologous stimulators have been characterized. Substantial proliferative responses were observed with each of the Ia+ stimulator populations tested. Nevertheless, major differences in the hapten specificity of such responses were observed. Thus purified macrophages/monocytes (M phi) when TNP-modified induced responses that were relatively modest in absolute magnitude, but were highly hapten specific. This reflected the very limited capacity of purified M phi to induce proliferation when unmodified, i.e., an autologous mixed leukocyte response (AMLR). In contrast, unmodified M phi-depleted B plus null cells were potent stimulators of AMLR, but hapten modification did not significantly enhance the responses induced by these cells. Moreover, when M phi were added to B plus null cell stimulators AMLR responses were reduced and, with TNP-modified stimulators, hapten-specific responses were restored. The data thus suggest that M phi may have important roles in induction of primary T cell responses to conventional antigens but function largely as regulators rather than stimulators of AMLR. Finally, we have introduced a novel antigen-presenting cell population, the irradiated Ia+ TNP-specific cloned T cell. The possibility that such cells may utilize autostimulatory positive feedback circuits for activation of naive T cells and in interactions between subpopulations of hapten-reactive T cells is discussed. 相似文献

Characteristics of immunosuppressive macrophages induced in spleen cells by Mycobacterium avium complex infections in mice 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The profile of generation and characteristics of splenic macrophages (M phi s) which suppress the concanavalin A (Con A) mitogenic response of splenic T cells (designated as 'immunosuppressive M phi s') in host CBA/JN mice during the course of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection were investigated. In MAC-infected mice, reductions in some cellular functions of host splenic T cells, such as the Con A mitogenic response and mixed leucocyte reaction, were seen around 2 weeks after challenge of organisms, and this was accompanied by appearance of immunosuppressive M phi s in spleen cells. In this case, increase in immunosuppressive M phi activity was seen in terms of both activity per spleen and activity per individual M phi. In this phase of the infection, MAC-induced splenic M phi s showed a markedly increased ability to produce reactive oxygen radicals in response to phorbol myristate acetate. Thus, the expression of suppressor activity of MAC-induced M phi s seems to be closely linked to their activated state. A large proportion of the immunosuppressive M phi s exhibited suppressor activity dependent on prostaglandins and membrane functions related to microfilaments. It was also found that the generation of IL-2-reactive T cell populations in response to Con A was markedly inhibited by MAC-induced splenic M phi s, whereas they caused no significant reduction in the IL-2-producing ability of normal spleen cells. 相似文献

Five patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who were treated by lymphocyte depletion by using thoracic duct drainage (TDD), provided an opportunity to characterize the phenotype and function of their recirculating lymphocytes. We found that: a) thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) were similar in their proportion of T cells (83% +/- 6 OKT3+), OKT4+ subset (65% +/- 8), and OKT8+ subset (22% +/- 6) to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL): b) fewer natural killer-like cells were present in TDL (5% +/- 4 Leu-7+; 2% +/- 2 Leu-11+: 8% +/- 2 OKM -1+) than in PBL (20% +/- 10 Leu-7+: 11% +/- 6 Leu-11+; 18% +/- 5 OKM -1) (p less than 0.01); c) TDL differed from synovial fluid lymphocytes ( SFL ) and synovial membrane lymphocytes ( SML ) in that TDL lacked a high percentage of activated lymphocytes (T cells bearing Ia antigen, OKT10 , and transferrin receptor): d) immature T cells (expressing either OKT6 antigen or reactive with peanut agglutinin) were not found in TDL even late in the course of TDD: and e) in vitro functional studies demonstrated that TDL were similar to PBL in their ability to synthesize immunoglobulin after mitogen stimulation and to generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes capable of lysing autologous EBV-transformed B cells. However, natural killer activity, as measured by lysis of K562 cells was significantly lower in TDL than PBL (p less than 0.05). These results demonstrate that natural killer cells defined by phenotype and function are excluded from thoracic duct lymph and thus have a circulation pattern different from most T cells. 相似文献

Human monocytes and U937 cells bear two distinct Fc receptors for IgG 总被引:33,自引:0,他引:33
R J Looney G N Abraham C L Anderson 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1986,136(5):1641-1647
Several convergent lines of evidence have led us to propose that human monocytes and the related cell line U937 possess a second class of IgG Fc receptor (FcR) in addition to the 72-Kd high affinity FcR previously described. IgG affinity purification from detergent lysates of surface radiolabeled U937 cells has yielded both a 40-Kd IgG-binding membrane protein (p40) and the 72-Kd FcR protein. By the same procedure, only the p40 was isolated from the erythroblast cell line K562 and from the B cell lines, Daudi and Raji. Serologic cross-reactivity between the 40-Kd FcR on U937 and Daudi cells was demonstrated using a goat anti-FcR antiserum. A murine (m) monoclonal antibody, raised against the FcR of K562 cells, precipitated the 40-Kd FcR from lysates of U937 and K562 cells but not from Daudi or Raji cells. This antibody, referred to as anti-p40 (IV.3), selectively inhibited the binding of murine IgG1-coated erythrocytes to U937 cells, whereas monomeric human IgG selectively inhibited binding of human anti-Rh(D)-coated erythrocytes to U937 cells. Both Daudi and U937 cells mediated mIgG1 anti-T3 (Leu-4)-induced stimulation of T lymphocytes. In contrast, mIgG2a anti-T3 (OKT3)-induced stimulation was supported effectively by U937 cells but only modestly by Daudi cells. Intact IgG or Fab fragments of anti-p40 (IV.3) blocked mIgG1 anti-T3 (Leu-4) stimulation but not mIgG2a anti-T3 (OKT3) stimulation of T cells; monomeric human IgG blocked only OKT3-induced stimulation. The simplest interpretation of these results is that human monocytes and U937 cells bear two classes of IgG FcR, one of 72 Kd and the other, as described above, of 40 Kd. We propose that the 72-Kd FcR mediates rosette formation with red cells coated by human anti-Rh IgG as well as T cell stimulation by mIgG2a anti-T3 (OKT3) and that the 40-Kd FcR mediates rosette formation with erythrocytes bearing mIgG1 as well as T cell stimulation by mIgG1 anti-T3 (Leu-4). Furthermore, we suggest that these two FcR are the human homologues of the murine macrophage FcRI (binding mIgG2a) and FcRII (binding mIgG2b/1). 相似文献

The role of murine macrophages (M phi) and that of splenic dendritic cells (DC) were investigated in the antigen-specific proliferative response of memory T cells of mice primed with key-hole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) 6 weeks or more before. Peritoneal M phi, whether expressing Ia antigens or not, did not function as autonomous accessory cells (A cells). A-cell activity of the spleen adherent cell population, which comprised M phi in the majority and DC in the minority, was abolished by eliminating DC with a DC-specific monoclonal antibody and complement, and regained by the addition of a small number of DC. Though M phi did not function as autonomous A cells, they augmented the proliferative response in the presence of a small number of DC. This occurred not only in the presence of free antigen, but also when DC and/or M phi were pulsed with antigen. A culture supernatant of M phi having interleukin-1 activity was effective in enhancing the proliferation of T cells which responded to antigen-pulsed DC. On the other hand, interleukin-2 did not replace DC even in the presence of antigen-pulsed Ia+ M phi. We also investigated recently primed T cells, but no evidence was obtained in favor of the competence of M phi as autonomous A cells. 相似文献

Activation of resting T lymphocytes by anti-CD3 (T3) antibodies in the absence of monocytes 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

The antigen receptor molecules on human T lymphocytes are noncovalently associated on the cell surface with the CD3 (T3) molecular complex. Perturbation of this complex with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies induces T cell activation. Previous studies have demonstrated that this process requires the participation of monocytes. In the present report, we demonstrate that purified, resting (G0 phase) T cells incubated with monoclonal anti-CD3 antibodies proliferate in response to purified interleukin 2 (IL 2), in a lymphokine dose-dependent fashion. Anti-CD3 antibody or IL 2 alone did not trigger cell division. The effect was specific for anti-CD3 antibodies because monoclonal antibodies reactive with other surface molecules (OKT4, OKT8, L368) were inactive. Furthermore, the same phenomenon was observed when anti-CD3 antibody Leu-4 (IgG1) was incubated with cells of individuals whose monocytes cannot process antibodies of the IgG1 subclass (Leu-4 nonresponders). In addition, both F(ab')2 and Fab fragments of anti-CD3 antibody OKT3 were also capable of rendering T cells receptive to the IL 2 growth signal. These data indicate that neither monocytes nor CD3 receptor cross-linking are required absolutely for resting T cell activation, provided that IL 2 is supplied exogenously. T lymphocytes treated with anti-CD3 antibodies proliferated in response to both purified mitogen-induced and recombinant IL 2. Antibodies to the IL 2 receptor (anti-Tac) inhibited the proliferation. Thus, the most likely mechanism for anti-CD3 antibody-mediated triggering is induction of IL 2 receptors. 相似文献

Two-color flow cytometry and functional analysis of lymphocytes cultured from human renal allografts: identification of a Leu-2+3+ subpopulation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
F I Preffer R B Colvin C P Leary L A Boyle T V Tuazon A I Lazarovits A B Cosimi J T Kurnick 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1986,137(9):2823-2830
The phenotype of T lymphocyte subsets present in renal biopsies showing acute cellular allograft rejection in six patients on cyclosporine have been characterized in situ by immunoperoxidase staining, and after expansion in vitro in interleukin 2 (IL-2) by two-color flow cytometry, sorting, and functional analysis. After 8 to 42 days in organ culture, both Leu-3+ (CD4) and Leu-2+ (CD8) subsets were found in each culture, in a ratio that varied from 0.2 to 5.0, which was not significantly different than the results of in situ immunoperoxidase staining of the uncultured biopsy. The cultured cells were almost all Leu-4+ (CD3) T cells (89% +/- 4), which expressed the activation markers DR (82% +/- 6) and the IL 2 (CD25) receptor (15% +/- 4). The Leu-3+ cells were largely Leu-8- (90% +/- 6), whereas a minority of the Leu-2+ cells were Leu-15+ (CD11) (26% +/- 4). Only a small fraction of the Leu-2+ cells stained for Leu-7 (8% +/- 6). Functional analysis of FACS-purified Leu-2-3+ and Leu-2+3- populations indicated that both subsets proliferated in response to graft donor antigens in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and produced IL 2. Only the Leu-2+3- population demonstrated donor-specific cytotoxic activity. A minor subpopulation in each culture were both Leu-3+ and Leu-2+ (2.0%). Leu-2+3+ cells from one biopsy were purified to homogeneity (99.8%), and were found to express the T cell antigen receptor complex Ti/CD3 (WT-31+, Leu-4+), but not the common thymocyte antigen CD1 (OKT6). The Leu-2+3+ cells neither responded in the MLR, nor showed any cytotoxic capacity. The Leu-2+3+ cells were capable of IL 2 but not interferon-gamma production. None of the purified cultures demonstrated NK activity. A subset of the purified Leu-2+3+ cells lost Leu-2+ during 1 to 3 wk in culture, and became Leu-2-3+. These studies provide evidence that the cells that infiltrate renal allografts during rejection include alloproliferative, lymphokine-producing cells of both Leu-2+ and Leu-3+ subsets. The Leu-2+3- cells are also highly cytotoxic against donor lymphocytes, indicating the presence of helper independent cytotoxic T cells. A minor population of Leu-2+3+ T cells that do not express donor specific function was also identified. 相似文献

Leu-1+ (CD5+) B cells. A major lymphoid subpopulation in human fetal spleen: phenotypic and functional studies 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
J H Antin S G Emerson P Martin N Gadol K A Ault 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1986,136(2):505-510
Examination of the cell surface phenotype of fetal splenic lymphocytes demonstrated a major, novel subpopulation of B cells that co-express Leu-1 (CD5) in addition to B cell differentiation antigens (Leu-1+ B cells). These cells are similar to some conventional B cells in that they express HLA-DR, Leu-12, and B1, as well as both immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgD. They comprise 40 to 60% of total splenic B cells in the fetus but are infrequent in fetal liver and adult spleen. Fetal Leu-1+ B cells do not respond to pokeweed mitogen with either proliferation or Ig secretion, and in contrast to the murine counterpart, Ly-1 B cells, they do not constitutively produce Ig. Leu-1+ B cells were incapable of augmenting Ig production of Leu-1- B cells when suboptimal numbers of T cells were present; however, they did require the presence of T cells to secrete antibody. They do not cap either the CD5 protein or surface Ig. These cells are a unique subpopulation of fetal splenic B cells that do not function as conventional B cells. Their role in the humoral immune response is unknown. They may represent the normal stage of B cell development, which is reflected in the phenotype of B cell CLL cells. 相似文献

The effect of monoclonal antibodies (Mab) directed at T cell and accessory cell (AC) surface molecules on OKT3-induced T4 and T8 cell proliferation was examined. Mab directed at nonpolymorphic class I (W6/32, MB40.5) and class II (L243) major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded gene products, an epitope common to LFA-1, CR3, and the p150, 95 molecule (60.3), and a heterodimer present on monocytes (M phi) and activated T cells (4F2) inhibited M phi-supported OKT3-induced proliferation of both T4 and T8 cells. Moreover, an Mab directed at the CD4 molecule (66.1) inhibited OKT3-induced T4 but not T8 cell proliferation, whereas an Mab directed at the CD8 molecule (OKT8) inhibited T8 but not T4 cell responses. With the exception of 66.1, each inhibited OKT3-induced T cell proliferation when added as late as 15 hr after the initiation of culture. Inhibition could not be explained by competition for Fc receptors on the AC. A variety of other Mab including OKT11 and those directed at other HLA-DR and DQ determinants were not inhibitory. The inhibitory Mab were found to diminish T4 cell IL 2 production and IL 2 receptor expression. Consequently, IL 2 reversed some but not all of the Mab-mediated inhibition of T cell proliferation. In contrast to the effects noted with M phi-supported responses, 60.3 and 66.1 but neither L243 nor 4F2 inhibited OKT3-induced T4 cell proliferation supported by Ia- or IFN-gamma-treated Ia+ endothelial cells. None of the Mab tested inhibited T cell proliferation induced by the AC-independent stimuli OKT3 and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or calcium ionophore and PMA in the presence or absence of added AC. The data therefore suggest that the Mab inhibit OKT3-induced activation of T4 and T8 cells by preventing necessary interactions between AC and T cell surface proteins. Moreover, the results suggest that different arrays of interaction molecules are involved in OKT3-induced T cell proliferation depending on the nature of the AC and the responding T cell subset. 相似文献

The reactivity of human cord blood lymphocytes was assessed against a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAb). The mean proportion of OKT3+ cells (pan-T) was significantly lower in cord blood (52 +/- 13.8%; mean +/- SD) compared with that of adult blood (75 +/- 8.9%) and paralleled well with the E-rosette-forming capacity (50 +/- 16.3%). Both the proportions of OKT4+ cells (helper/inducer phenotype) and of OKT8+ cells (suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype) were significantly reduced in cord blood (43 +/- 11.8% vs 50.3 +/- 7.4% and 20 +/- 10.3% vs 25.6 +/- 6.0%, respectively), while the overall OKT4/OKT8 ratio was increased compared with adult blood (2.87 +/- 1.83 vs 2.04 +/- 0.61). Unlike adult blood, in 30 of the 35 samples of cord blood an overlap was observed between the total proportion of OKT4+ and OKT8+ cells (65 +/- 15.2%) and that of OKT3+ cells (52 +/- 14.3%). Although small numbers of cells coexpressing both antigens were occasionally found, double-staining analysis showed that the overlap in cord blood was mostly due to an expanded proportion of OKT3 (Leu-4)-/OKT8 (Leu-2)+ cells. Relevant proportions of OKT6+ (common thymocyte antigen) and OKT10+ (thymocytes, activated T cells, precursor cells) cells were found in cord blood as opposed to adult blood (10.8 +/- 8.6% vs 0.6 +/- 0.6% and 67 +/- 18.0% vs 8 +/- 2.1%, respectively), while terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-positive cells were observed only in two samples of cord blood. A small proportion of T cells (E-rosette+) reacted with the MoAb OKIa1 (HLA-DR). Finally, the proportion of cord blood cells recognized by the MoAb Leu-7 (HNK-1 clone) was almost negligible compared with adult blood (2.8 +/- 2.4% vs 15 +/- 7.5%). These data confirm the immaturity and heterogeneity of cord blood lymphocytes and demonstrate the presence at birth of circulating lymphocytes which express a surface phenotype reminiscent of that found in the late stages of intrathymic differentiation and in some human T-cell leukemias. Human cord blood may thus represent a suitable model for the study of the differentiation pathway of normal and pathological T-cells in humans. 相似文献

The immunosuppressive activity of L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester: selective ablation of cytotoxic lymphocytes and monocytes 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
L-Leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester (Leu-Leu-OMe), a dipeptide condensation product of L-leucine methyl ester generated by human monocytes (M phi) or polymorphonuclear leukocytes, eliminates all natural killer cell (NK) function from mixed lymphocyte populations. In the present studies, the specificity of the action of Leu-Leu-OMe was examined. It was found that a variety of tissue culture cells and tumor lines of nonlymphoid origin were completely resistant to any demonstrable Leu-Leu-OMe-mediated toxicity. Furthermore, the erythroleukemia line K562, the T cell line Molt-4, the B cell lines HS-Sultan and Daudi, and EBV-transformed B cell lines were unaffected by concentrations of this compound that completely eliminated NK cells. Similarly, the vast majority of OKT4+ lymphocytes manifested no significant toxicity after Leu-Leu-OMe exposure. Furthermore, they retained the capacity to proliferate normally in response to allogeneic cells as well as the ability to provide help for the generation of immunoglobulin-secreting cells (ISC). However, Leu-Leu-OMe caused partial depletion of OKT8+ cells from mixed populations of lymphocytes. After such exposure, the remaining OKT8+ cells were still capable of proliferating in mixed lymphocyte cultures, but the suppressive effect of these cells on ISC generation was abolished. Furthermore, both precursors and activated effectors of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and activated NK-like activity generated in mixed lymphocyte cultures were eliminated by exposure to low concentrations of Leu-Leu-OMe. Indeed, both OKT4+ and OKT8+ CTL were eliminated by Leu-Leu-OMe. In addition, both peripheral blood M phi and U937 cells, a human cell line with many M phi-like characteristics, were sensitive to Leu-Leu-OMe-mediated toxicity, although only at two- to fivefold higher concentrations than those completely eliminating NK cells. These findings indicate that Leu-Leu-OMe has selective toxicity for NK cells, CTL, and M phi without adverse effects on a variety of other lymphoid or nonlymphoid cell types. 相似文献

The possibility that vascular endothelial cells (EC), like macrophages (M phi), can function as accessory cells necessary for mitogen- and antigen-induced T cell activation was examined. EC were enzymatically detached from the luminal surfaces of guinea pig aortas and then propagated in culture. Lymph node T lymphocytes were rigorously depleted of adherent cells, such that they completely lost the capacity to respond to mitogenic stimulation with phytohemagglutinin or concanavalin A. In this system, EC restored mitogen-induced T cell DNA synthesis as effectively as did M phi. This effect could not be explained by a facilitation of residual accessory cell activity within the responding T cell population, because EC restored mitogen responsiveness to T cells that had been treated with anti-Ia antibody and complement. Support of mitogen responsiveness could not be accounted for by secreted products of M phi or EC in the absence of intact accessory cells. In addition to the capacity to serve as fully sufficient accessory cells for the induction of mitogen-stimulated T cell proliferation, EC exerted a number of modulatory influences on T lymphocyte responses in cultures supported by M phi. When such cultures were supplemented with small numbers of EC, responses were dramatically augmented; larger numbers of EC resulted in marked suppression. At least part of these immunomodulatory effects could be accounted for by the activity of secreted products of EC. EC did not express detectable Ia antigens assayed either by indirect immunofluorescence, with the use of the fluorescence-activated cell sorter, or by complement-mediated cytotoxicity. Moreover, treating the EC population with anti-Ia antibody and complement had no effect on its capacity to support mitogen-induced T cell DNA synthesis. As would be expected from the lack of Ia antigen expression, EC were incapable of presenting antigen to primed T cells. They did, however, carry enough antigen into the cultures such that effective antigen presentation could occur when the cultures were supplemented with M phi that were syngeneic but not allogeneic to the responding T cells. Moreover, EC were capable of dramatically augmenting antigen-specific responses stimulated by antigen-pulsed M phi. There was no genetic restriction for this EC-mediated augmentation of antigen responsiveness. These results indicate that EC are capable of functioning as completely sufficient accessory cells for mitogen-induced T cell DNA synthesis and, in addition, are able to modulate ongoing M phi-supported T lymphocyte responses in both a positive and negative manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The production from murine resident peritoneal macrophages (M phi) of a soluble factor, which was capable of enhancing the antigen-presenting (AP) function of dendritic cells (DC), was examined. The supernatants of peritoneal M phi (M phi sup) were prepared by culturing peritoneal M phi with particles, i.e., zymosan A, latex, and sheep red blood cells (SRBC), or antigen-antibody (Ag-Ab) complexes such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-anti-KLH, ovalbumin (OVA)-anti-OVA, and SRBC-anti-SRBC complexes. When exposed to M phi sup during antigen pulsing DC induced a marked antigen-specific T cell proliferation, relative to DC treated with the supernatants from M phi cultured without stimuli (control sup). On the other hand, M phi sup-treated splenic M phi stimulated antigen-specific T cell activation to almost the same extent as did splenic M phi treated with control sup. These results indicated that peritoneal M phi elaborated a soluble factor which preferentially enhanced the AP capacity of DC when stimulated with particles or Ag-Ab complexes. Analytical gel filtration of M phi sup revealed that the factor had an apparent molecular weight of 27,000 daltons which was distinct from interleukin 1. 相似文献

Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from patients with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 recurrences in the cornea only (Group I) exhibited reduced lysis of HSV-1-infected targets compared to PBL from patients with oral-facial and corneal HSV recurrences (Group II). The cytotoxic lymphocytes appeared to belong to a subpopulation of natural killer (NK-HSV) cells. Monoclonal antibodies to human lymphocyte differentiation antigens were used to define the surface phenotype of the NK-HSV cells. Most of the NK-HSV activity was mediated by lymphocytes expressing the surface markers Leu-7+ (HNK-1), OKT3+ (pan T), OKM1+ (myeloid and NK), Leu-2? (cytotoxic/ suppressor T cell), and Leu-8? (regulatory T cell). In contrast, lysis of K562 cells (NK-K562) was mediated by lymphocytes bearing the surface phenotype Leu-7+, OKT3?, OKM1+, Leu-2+/?, and Leu-8?. The low level of NK-HSV activity in PBL from Group I donors appeared to be due to active suppression by suppressor T lymphocytes. Depletion of Leu-2+ cells from PBL of Group I donors resulted in significant augmentation of NK-HSV activity. Similar treatment of PBL from Group II donors either had no effect or slightly diminished the NK-HSV activity. 相似文献

Liver sinusoidal lining cells express class II major histocompatibility antigens but are poor stimulators of fresh allogeneic T lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Guinea pig liver sinusoidal lining cells (LSLC), a mixture of Kupffer cells (KC) and sinusoidal endothelial cells (EC), were examined for their capacity to function as antigen-presenting cells (APC). LSLC were extremely poor stimulators of freshly isolated allogeneic T lymphocytes even though a large number of them expressed class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens (Ia). This deficiency could not be explained by a lack of soluble factor production by LSLC, because an interleukin 1-containing macrophage (M phi) supernatant could not restore the capacity of LSLC to stimulate allogeneic T cells. Moreover, LSLC were able to promote mitogen-induced proliferation of accessory cell-depleted T lymphocytes. No evidence of suppression was apparent in experiments in which LSLC were added to cultures of T cells stimulated by allogeneic peritoneal exudate M phi (PEM). The Ia expressed by LSLC was functional because they were able to stimulate an alloreactive T cell line. When LSLC were mixed and co-cultured with either PEM syngeneic to the responding lymphocytes or Ia-negative fibroblasts, the allostimulatory ability of LSLC was greatly augmented. In contrast, the addition of mitogen-activated T cell supernatants had only a minimal effect on the capacity of LSLC to stimulate allogeneic T cells. The data suggest that LSLC lack a biologic property that is necessary for recognition of class II MHC determinants by fresh but not primed allogeneic T cells and that is not required to support T cell activation induced by nonspecific mitogenic lectins. These findings may be important in understanding the reason that antigen introduced into the portal blood appears not to initiate an immune response. 相似文献

The profile of generation and characteristics of immunosuppressive macrophages (M phi s), which suppress the ConA-mitogenic response of spleen cells (SPCs), in host CBA/JN mice during the course of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and M. tuberculosis (MT) infections were investigated. In both infections, a marked reduction in ConA mitogenic response of splenic T cells was seen around 2 weeks after infection, and this was accompanied by generation of potent immunosuppressive M phi s in the SPCs of infected mice. The suppressive activity was much stronger in MT-infected mice than in MAC-infected ones. In both infections, the large part of the suppressive M phi s exhibited suppressor activity that depended on the arachidonic acid cascade, particularly mediated by prostaglandins (PGs), and the remainder showed the suppressor action independent from PGs. The unique finding of this study is that the generation of IL-2 reactive T cell populations in SPCs in response to ConA signal was markedly inhibited by the MAC- and MT-induced immunosuppressive M phi s, whereas the suppressive M phi s failed to reduce the IL-2-producing ability of splenic T cells. In any case, the present results indicate a close similarity in immunosuppressive M phi s induced by MAC and MT infections. 相似文献

Characterization of human K cells by surface antigens and morphology at the single cell level 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Human lymphocytes killing bovine erythrocytes in vitro in antibody-mediated reactions were characterized at the effector cell level in the ADCC plaque assay. Five to 10% of highly purified peripheral blood lymphocytes are active K cells in this system. Forty to 50% of these were T gamma cells expressing the T cell-associated surface antigens T3 and Leu-1. These cells also expressed the T8/Leu-2a antigens (approximately 20%) or the T4/Leu-3a antigens. Although approximately 30% of the K cells were T4+ when examined after completion of the ADCC assay (18 hr), only less than 10% were T4+ (and Leu-3a+) when examined before the assay. The results indicated that exposure to antigen/antibody complexes during the assay induced increased T4 expression, probably linked to Fc gamma R modulation on some initially T4-/T3+ lymphocytes. The expression of the other antigens (including Leu-3a) was not affected by exposure of the lymphocytes to antigen/antibody complexes. Two-color fluorescence experiments further demonstrated that a minor fraction (10 to 20%) of the K cells carrying T cell-associated antigens also expressed the monocyte/null cell-associated antigen M1 as detected with the monoclonal antibody OKM1. A second major category of effector cells, composed of at least 25% of the K cells, were large granular lymphocytes (LGL) that lacked detectable T cell-associated antigens but expressed the HNK-1 (Leu-7) as well as the M1 antigen. As seen from the size of the plaques formed by different effector cells, K cells of the LGL type had a greater recycling capacity and/or cytolytic efficiency than those of T gamma type. 相似文献

A double immunogold-labeling method in immunoelectron microscopy was used for simultaneous detection of two antigens by monoclonal antibodies [OKT 8 (CD 8), anti-Leu-7, anti-Leu-11b (CD 16)] on lymphocytes in suspension. The combination of gold probe size (5 nm and 15 nm) and monoclonal antibody was found to be decisive for detecting double-labeled cells with the OKT 8+, Leu-11b+ phenotype. The combinations of OKT 8 labeled with the 5-nm gold probe (OKT 8(5] and anti-Leu-11b with the 15-nm gold probe (Leu-11b15) gave double-labeled cells; the reverse situation, using OKT 8 with a 15-nm gold probe (OKT 8(15] and anti-Leu-11b with a 5-nm gold probe (Leu-11b5), did not. Double-labeled OKT 8+, Leu-7+ cells were detected irrespective of which gold probe combination was applied. Our findings indicate that although the double immunogold-labeling method is well suited for study of lymphocyte subsets, it is important to determine suitable combinations of gold probe sizes and monoclonal antibodies for the lymphocyte subset under study, taking into account surface antigen density, so that double labeling ensues. 相似文献

Characterization of the natural killer-like lymphocytes in rheumatoid synovial fluid 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
IgG Fc- cytotoxic cells found in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have natural killer (NK)-like characteristics but can kill NK-resistant cell lines as well. The phenotype of these cells was defined by complement-mediated lysis with monoclonal antibodies. The synovial fluid killer cell activity was significantly reduced by treatment with complement and OKT11 and 4F2, but the cytotoxic T cells did not express the NK-related antigens OKM1 and Leu-7, nor the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-specific antigen, OKT8. These results demonstrate that the synovial fluid killer cells resemble the activated T cells generated in an autologous mixed leukocyte reaction or in the treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with interleukin 2, and they are distinct from the conventional NK cells found in blood. 相似文献
