Lymphocytes were isolated from human peripheral blood by carbonyl-iron treatment and Ficoll-Isopaque centrifugation. The lymphocytes were allowed to form rosettes with sheep erythrocytes, either uncoated (E) or coated with antibody and complement (EAC).In 32 experiments E rosettes were separated from free lymphocytes on a Ficoll density gradient. Thus, depleted (non-E) and enriched (E) fractions were obtained. It was found that in the original suspension 24 ± 7.2% of the lymphocytes formed rosettes with EAC and 56 ± 8% with E. In fraction non-E these values were 56 ± 11.4 and 22 ± 8.9%, respectively; in fraction E 8 ± 3.8 and 79 ± 8.8%. Moreover, the percentages of Ig-bearing cells among the fractions were found to follow closely those of CRL.In a series of lymphocyte culture experiments these fractions were compared with the original suspension and a control suspension (rosetted, not separated), as well as with a recombined population (non-E + E). It was found that fraction non-E showed an increased response to PHA and PWM, and an enhanced MLC stimulatory capacity, whereas fraction E was decreased in these respects. Moreover, fraction E displayed significantly reduced spontaneous DNA synthesis.It is concluded that the responses to PHA or PWM, as well as the capacity to stimulate allogeneic cells, are not solely dependent on the cells forming rosettes with E. 相似文献

Leukocyte migration inhibitory factor (LMIF) production in mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) reactions is the result of cellular interactions based on two separate phenomena: the capacity of lymphocytes to stimulate in MLC, and the capacity of lymphocytes to respond in MLC. Puromycin-treated lymphocytes are capable of stimulating allogeneic cells for LMIF production, but are unable to respond with synthesis of LMIF (one-way MLC-LMIF test). We have studied the stimulating and responding capacity of lymphocytes from patients with different immunodeficiency syndromes in a one-way MLC-LMIF assay. Lymphocytes from patients known to have qualitative and quantitative defects of T cell or B cell functions (Hodgkin's disease, mycosis fungoides, thymoma, chronic lymphatic leukemia) were found to respond poorly as measured by mediator production although their stimulating fuction was frequently retained. Patients with advanced solid tumors often had both MLC-stimulating and responding functions depressed. There was no apparent correlation between mitogen response and MLC-induced LMIF responses or between MLC proliferative response (as measured by thymidine incorporation) and mediator production. Studying of stimulatory and responding capacity of lymphocytes in the MLC-LMIF assay provides a new tool for assessing immunocompetence and allows for in vitro evaluation of cellular interactions that may play an important role in vivo. 相似文献

Summary Twenty levamisole-treated and 14 placebo-treated lung cancer patients were studied sequentially in assays of lymphocyte proliferation. Prior to treatment, the patients as a group had significantly depressed proliferative responses to mitogens and allogeneic cells (MLC), and this immunosuppression was especially noticeable in patients with clinically detectable tumor burdens. Following treatment, responses in both levamisole and placebo groups tended to increase slightly, although the increases were more consistent and persistent in the levamisole group. Increases within the levamisole group were similar for patients with and without detectable tumor burdens. Proportions of E and EAC rosette-forming cells were stable throughout treatment for all groups. No consistent response pattern was observed in patients crossed-over from placebo to levamisole treatments. Although these results do not contradict the concept that levamisole can reverse malignancy-induced immunosuppression, levamisole treatment clearly did not result in normalization of lymphocyte-proliferative capacity in these lung cancer patients. The usefulness of a placebo-treated group was apparent, as some increased responsiveness was commonly found with placebo treatment. 相似文献

The kinetics and mechanisms of suppression of the PWM-induced PFC response of human PB lymphocytes by Con A-activated suppressor cells were investigated. It was necessary that Con A suppressor cells be present early in the process of activation of human B cells toward antibody syntheses, but maximal suppression of the PFC response occurred later in the culture period. In addition, Con A-activated cells, although suppressing the PFC response to PWM greater that 90% of control, did not significantly suppress the blastogenic response to PWM after 3 or 5 days in culture. On the contrary, after 3 days in culture, background tritiated thymidine incorporation as well as tritiated thymidine incorporation to PWM stimulation was increased when Con A suppressor cells are added to fresh autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes. This increased blastogenic response after three days most likely represented an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) or Con A suppressor cells against fresh autologous non-T cells. The induction of autoreactive cells may be one of several modes of suppression of PFC responses by Con A activated suppressor cells. 相似文献

Lymphocytes remaining in washed, previously frozen blood were isolated and their immunocompetence was studied on the basis of T- and B-cell markers, mitogenic responses, and mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC). The results showed that freeze-preservation of red cells considerably deteriorated immunocompetence of the residual lymphocytes in addition to preferential removal of polymorphonuclear cells. While approximately 60% of the residual lymphocytes excluded trypan blue dye, their E and EAC rosette formation decreased markedly to 6.4 and 5.2%, respectively.These lymphocytes showed weak proliferation to PHA and Con A stimulation, but failed to respond to alloantigens in MLC. In contrast, they retained stimulating activity to allogeneic lymphocytes in MLC. These observations suggest that some portion of the residual lymphocytes may remain viable enough to possess immunocompetence and recognizable immunogenicity. 相似文献

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes treated for 24 to 48 hr with optimally mitogenic doses of concanavalin A suppressed the proliferative response of autologous T cells to mitogens and antigens. Con A-treated cells also suppressed the proliferative response and the immunoglobulin synthetic response of autologous B cells stimulated in vitro by T cell helper factor. The human Con A suppressor cell was sensitive to treatment with mitomycin C and to exposure to radiation doses exceeding 1000 rads. The Con A suppressor cell was shown to reside in the nylon wool-nonadherent, sheep red cell rosette-forming, histamine receptor-bearing population of lymphocytes and to lack surface DRW antigens. One mechanism of action of Con A suppressor cells was shown to be the inactivation of nonspecific T cell helper factor. 相似文献

In vitro responses of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were found to be markedly enhanced by culture at 40 degrees C rather than at the conventional temperature of 37 degrees C. We studied proliferative responses of lymphocytes by activation by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) concanavalin A (Con A), pokeweed mitogen (PWM), and allogeneic lymphocytes in mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) and found enhancement of DNA synthesis at the higher temperature. Cytotoxic T cell responses to allogeneic cells were also enhanced when MLC was done at 40 degrees C. These enhanced immune responses appear to be due in part to increased numbers of participating cells. If in vitro lymphocyte responses correlate with in vivo responses, then fever associated with infection or tumor may be beneficial whereas that associated with autoimmune disorders may have a detrimental effect. 相似文献

Stimulation of human lymphocytes in mixed leukocyte culture (MLC) with x-irradiated pooled allogeneic normal cells (poolx) was previously shown to result in generation of effector cells cytotoxic for autologous Epstein-Barr virus- (EBV) transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL). This study was undertaken to determine whether lysis of the autologous EBV- transformed LCL cells by pool-stimulated cells is mediated by cytotoxic Tc lymphocytes (Tc) or natural killer- (NK) like cells, both of which are generated in MLC. In the first series of experiments, proliferating cells were eliminated by treatment of pool-stimulated cells with 5 X 10(-5) M 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and light. The remaining cells failed to lyse allogeneic normal lymphocytes and autologous LCL cells, whereas cytotoxicity against NK-sensitive K562 leukemia cells was retained. In the second series of experiments, pool-stimulated effector cells were treated with monoclonal anti-human Tc cell antibodies, OKT3 or OKT8, and complement (C). The cells recovered after antibody and C treatment were diminished in their ability to lyse allogeneic normal lymphocytes as well as autologous LCL cells, whereas their cytotoxicity against K562 leukemia cells was unaffected. These combined results provide strong evidence that lysis of autologous LCL cells by lymphocytes stimulated with pooled allogeneic normal cells is mediated by Tc rather than NK-like cells. 相似文献

Near-UV irradiation (280-365 nm) at non-lethal doses increased lymphocyte E and EAC rosette-forming capacity, reduced cell proliferation in response to mitogen (PHA), induced an increase in the content of lipid peroxidation products in the cell culture medium. An antioxidant (alpha-tocopherol, 10(-7) M) administered before or immediately after near UV irradiation of lymphocytes reduced the above effects. The addition of an antioxidant to the culture medium 90 min after cell irradiation failed to reduce lymphocyte rosette-forming capacity. Near-UV irradiation of the blood reduced cell proliferative response to PHA. alpha-tocopherol (10(-7) M) administered before and immediately after the blood photomodification blocked the suppression of cell proliferation in response to mitogen. 相似文献

H-2K/H-2D and Mls and I region-associated antigens stimulate helper factor(s) involved in the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study examines the antigen that stimulate production or release of a soluble helper factor(s) involved in development of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Antigens associated with the Mls locus, I and K/D regions of the MHC were all capable of stimulating responder cells in MLC to produce helper factor. These supernatant fluids were all capable of providing "help" for the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in MLC in which spleen cells are stimulated by allogeneic heat-treated thymocytes or splenocytes. Previous reports from our laboratory as well as others have shown that heat-treated cells do not stimulate a cytotoxic response. Heat-treatment of Mls, I, and H-2K/H-2D region incompatible stimulatory cells in MLC eliminated their ability to induce responder cells to produce helper factor, suggesting this is the mechanism whereby heat-treatment reduces the ability of cells to stimulate cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). The inability of supernatant fluids, from MLCs in which heat-treated cells were the stimulators, to assist in the generation of cytotoxic T cells did not appear to be the result of any suppressive factor induced by such treatment. Further, the antigens that stimulate pre-killer cells appear functionally distinct from those heat labile antigens (Mls, I, H-2K/H-2D associated) that stimulate helper factor production since heat-treated allogeneic cells served as stimulators of cytotoxicity provided helper activity was added to the MLC. 相似文献

Surface immunoglobulin positive and immunoglobulin negative human lymphocyte populations were obtained by immunoabsorbent column chromatography. Both cell populations were effective as stimulating and target cells in allogeneic MLC and CML reactions. The immunoglobulin negative population was further depleted of both EAC rosette forming cells and nylon wool adherent cells. The resulting highly purified T cell population was also able to stimulate allogeneic cells in MLC, and induce the generation of specifically cytotoxic killer cells in CML. 相似文献

In this study the capacity of T cells and monocytes to induce cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) in primary and secondary MLC was investigated. The T lymphocytes were enriched by rosetting with sheep red blood cells (E) and further purified by sedimentation at unit gravity, which completely removed the contaminating monocytes. In addition, a highly purified monocyte population was obtained by 1 X G sedimentation of the non-E rosette-forming cells. These purified T cells have a poor CML-inducing capacity in primary and secondary MLC. In contrast, monocytes were very effective in inducing CML in both primary and secondary MLC. Induction of CML by monocytes in primary MLC was inhibited by heterologous anti-Ia-like antisera, indicating that the induction of CML by monocytes was related to the presence of HLA-DR (Ia-like) antigens on these cells. 相似文献

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

Con A-inducible suppression of MLC: evidence for mediation by the TH2 + T cell subset in man. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Human peripheral lymphoid cells pretreated with Concanavalin A for 48 hr can markedly suppress the proliferative response of untreated autologous lymphoid cells in MLC. Isolation studies with Sephadex G-200 anti-F(ab')2 affinity chromatography, nylon adherence, and E rosetting indicate that the Con A-induced suppressor cell is a T cell. Further fractionation into TH2+ and TH2- cell subsets with an equine-anti TH2 serum show that both subsets can be activated by Con A to an equivalent degree. After activation only the TH2+ subset can suppress autologous responder cells in MLC. The TH2- subset, which comprises 80% of peripheral human T cells, although induced by Con A to proliferate, cannot itself suppress the MLC response. Nevertheless, the TH2- subset can be shown to modulate the generation of suppressor TH2+ cells at 24 hr but not at 48 hr. These studies support the notion that the Con A-induced suppressor cell is confined to a distinct T cell subset in man and that T-T interactions are important in the overall expression of the immune response. 相似文献

p-Hydroxyphenyl lactic acid (PHA) in a concentration of 5 . 10(-5) M produced a significant inhibition of cell proliferation in response to alloantigens in a one-way mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) in colonic cancer patients and in blast transformation in response to suboptimal doses of Con A. Multiple administration of ascorbic acid in an optimal concentration to the culture increased the proliferative response of lymphocytes to alloantigens and Con A. PHA and ascorbic acid did not exhibit any immunomodulating action during the use of healthy donors' lymphocytes or lymphocytes from colonic cancer patients, transformed with optimal mitogen doses. PHA did not affect the production of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the MLC of the spleens of allogeneic mice but inhibited lymphocyte proliferation in response to alloantigens in the MLC of the spleens obtained from B6 and vitamin A deficient animals. 相似文献

The immune competence of C57Bl/6 mice implanted with EL-4 lymphoma of Lewis Lung carcinoma 3LL was investigated during 3 weeks after implantation. Splenic lymphocyte responses to mitogens (Con A, PHA, LPS, PWM) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) production were assessed. A dramatic reduction in mitogenic responses to Con A and PHA was observed during tumour progression. LPS and PWM responses were less depressed. Con A-induced IL-2 production correlated with Con A and PHA responses. Allospecific CTL response to mastocytoma P 815 was not decreased in syngeneic tumour-bearing mice. 相似文献

Spontaneous autologous rosette-forming cells (ARFC), which form rosettes with autologous erythrocytes, have been of interest as a subset of thymus-derived lymphocytes (T cells). An association of these cells with concanavalin A (Con A)-induced ARFC has been suggested. Furthermore, the Con A-induced ARFC have been shown to be a suppressor T-cell subset in the Con A-generated suppressor system. We have previously reported the induction of ARFC from T cells by several T-cell mitogens such as phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA) and allogeneic non-T cells other than Con A. In the present report, we further characterized the mitogen-induced ARFC and have extended the study to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We have found that ARFC are also inducible from peripheral blood T cells by pokeweed mitogen (PWM). Studies of T-cell surface markers on the ARFC using OKT monoclonal antibodies confirmed the induction of ARFC from both OKT4- and OKT8-reactive T cells by either Con A, PHA, or PWM stimulation. However, OKT4-reactive T cells were the major cellular source of the ARFC induced by all of the mitogens. In studies of SLE patients, proportions of both Con A- and PWM-induced ARFC were found to be significantly low in PBL of SLE patients treated with moderate or large doses of prednisone, with or without concomitant immunosuppressants, but not in SLE patients without such treatment. Proportional analysis of the T cells and their subsets suggested association of these alterations in the mitogen-induced ARFC with the OKT4-reactive T cells, since a significant decrease in the OKT4-reactive T-cell subset was demonstrated in the PBL of these patients. Proportions of PHA-induced ARFC, however, were not significantly different between SLE patients and healthy adults. Moreover, positive correlations of the mitogen-induced ARFC with lymphocyte proliferative responses to each mitogen were established in both SLE patients and healthy adults. These results further support our previous observation that suggest the receptors for autologous erythrocytes are enhanced or reexpressed on those T cells which are highly activated by mitogens. 相似文献

The differentiation of peripheral blood B lymphocytes into immunoglobulin-producing cells (Ig-PC) by pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and the function of concanavalin A (Con A)-induced suppressor T lymphocytes were examined to elucidate the late effects of atomic bomb radiation. A total of 140 individuals, 70 with an exposure dose of 100 rad or more and an equal number with an exposure dose of 0 rad matched by sex and age, were selected from the Nagasaki Adult Health Study (AHS) sample. Both the differentiation of peripheral blood B lymphocytes into Ig-PC by PWM and the function of Con A-induced suppressor T lymphocytes tended to be more depressed in the exposed group than in the control group, but a statistically significant difference could not be observed between the two groups. The function of Con A-induced suppressor T lymphocytes tended to decrease with age, but a statistical significance was detected only for percentage suppression against IgM-PC. 相似文献

An attempt was made to find out the immunomodulatory role of thyroid hormone, tetraiodothyronine (T4), and its effect on in vitro mitogen induced blastogenesis. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were subjected to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) concanavalin-A (Con. A) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) in presence or absence of T4. Basal blastogenic response was significantly enhanced in dose related manner by T4. PHA and Con.A induced response was depressed significantly (r = -0.975 and r = -0.945) whereas less than 50 ng T4 in presence of PHA showed mild stimulation. On the other hand, PWM induced response in presence of T4 was enhanced significantly in dose related manner. 相似文献

Cell-free culture supernatants (Con A-activated supernatants) were obtained by incubating peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from cord blood, healthy children of various ages, and healthy adults with mitogenic doses of concanavalin A (Con A) for 48 hr. It is well known that human T lymphocytes are activated by Con A to manifest suppressor function in vitro. One mechanism whereby these suppressor cells act has been shown to be by the secretion of a soluble suppressor factor. The present study has investigated the Con A-inducible suppressor cell function in cord blood, children of various ages, and adults by comparing the ability of each Con A-activated supernatant to inhibit the generation of immunoglobulin-producing cells (Ig-PC) in pokeweed mitogen- (PWM) stimulated cultures of adult PBL. Con A-activated supernatants from adults could markedly suppress the generation of Ig-PC by allogeneic as well as autologous PBL in response to PWM. Such suppression appeared to be equally effective on the generation of IG-PC of 3 major classes, IgG, IgM, and IgA. On the contrary, Con A-activated supernatants from cord blood and newborn infants showed only a negligible suppression on PWM-induced adult B cell differentiation. But the suppressor activity found in Con A-activated supernatants gradually increased with advancing age, and reached approximately to the adult level at 4 yr of age or later. The results suggest that human T lymphocytes may be relatively deficient in their Con A-induced suppressor cell function in the early period of life. 相似文献
