Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were obtained from human ovarian tumors, expanded in the presence of IL-2 in culture and studied for cytotoxicity against fresh autologous and allogeneic ovarian carcinoma (CA) targets. TIL from ovarian tumors grew well in long term cultures, achieving from 8- to 682-fold expansion. TIL cultured with IL-2 were cytotoxic against both autologous and allogeneic fresh ovarian CA targets, and no specificity for autologous tumor could be demonstrated in any of the cultures. In all fresh TIL preparations, CD3+ lymphocytes were the major cell type and contained a high proportion (up to 51%) of activated (IL-2R+) cells as determined by two-color flow cytometry. Sorting of bulk TIL cultures followed by cytotoxicity assays identified the Leu-19+ cells, both CD3+ and CD3-, as effectors of cytotoxicity against autologous and allogeneic tumor cell targets. Cold target inhibition assays showed that allogeneic targets (both ovarian CA and a sarcoma) competed effectively with autologous ovarian CA targets for Leu-19+ effectors in TIL cultures. mAb to Leu-19 or Leu-2a did not block lysis of autologous targets by sorted effectors. OKT3 antibody augmented lysis of autologous targets by CD3+Leu-19- effectors only. These results show that non-MHC-restricted Leu-19+ effectors in cultures of TIL with 1000 U/ml of rIL-2 mediate lysis of autologous and allogeneic tumor cells. The CD3+Leu-19- cells, the main population in these cultures, do not mediate tumor lysis. To determine the phenotype of antitumor effectors in IL-2 cultures of TIL, cell sorting followed by functional assays are necessary. 相似文献

We investigated the time course of the 17β-estradiol effect on mouse natural killer (NK) activity and the number of splenic large granular lymphocytes (LGL), a cell population recently associated with natural cytotoxicity and enriched in low density fractions of Percoll discontinuous density gradients. After 7 days of in vivo treatment with estrogen, an increased cytotoxicity against YAC-1 lymphoma cells was observed using only as effectors cells recovered from higher density fractions, usually devoid of NK activity. In contrast, after a 30-day treatment, augmented NK activity and an increase in LGL number were observed in the lower density Percoll fractions. Similar results were observed after a 30-day treatment with the antiestrogen tamoxifen. The cytotoxicity of both low density and high density splenocyte fractions was totally abrogated by treatment with antiserum to asialo GM1 plus complement, whereas anti-Thy 1.2 antibody treatment only partially decreased the reactivity. Further estrogen administration up to 60 days decreased both NK activity and LGL number. It is concluded that estradiol can induce opposite effects on NK activity depending on the time of treatment, with stimulation of NK activity during the first 30 days after treatment followed by depressed NK activity 1 month later. 相似文献

The present study reports the characterization of a non-T cell from human peripheral blood which is capable of releasing BCGF. This BCGF-producing non-T cell had a T3-, T8-, Leu-7+, OKM1+, HLA-DR-, Leu-11- surface phenotype and was likely to belong to the so-called large granular lymphocyte (LGL) subset because: after fractionation of non-T cells according to the expression of Leu-7 or HLA-DR markers, it was found in the Leu-7+, HLA-DR- fractions that were particularly enriched in LGL; it co-purified with LGL on Percoll density gradients; and it expressed Leu-7 and OKM1 markers that are shared by a large fraction of LGL. Although co-purified with cells with potent NK capacities, the BCGF-producing cell was not cytotoxic, because treatment of Leu-7+ cells with Leu-11 monoclonal antibody and complement abolished the NK activity but left the BCGF activity unaltered. The factor released by this LGL subset was not IL 1 or IL 2 mistakenly interpreted as BCGF, because: a) cell supernatants particularly rich in BCGF activity contained very little or no IL 1 or IL 2; b) BCGF-induced B cell proliferation was not inhibitable by anti-Tac antibodies (this in spite of the expression of IL 2 receptor by a proportion of activated B cells); and c) BCGF activity was absorbed by B but not T blasts. 相似文献

Treatment of PBL or Percoll-isolated LGL with anti-transferrin antibodies plus complement reduced their natural killing activity against K-562 cells between 30 and 70%. The same antibodies inhibited natural cytotoxicity when added directly to the assay. Similar depletion or inhibition of NK cytotoxicity was observed when using HeLa cells as targets. The decrease or inhibition by transferrin antibodies was less marked when IFN-treated PBL or LGL as effector cells were used. The inhibition of anti-transferrin antibodies seems to be located at the level of the effector cell population. When PBL but not target K-562 cells were pretreated with anti-transferrin antibodies and were washed before use in the assay, cytotoxicity was decreased by 50%. In addition, about 80% of the LGL positively selected on anti-transferrin plates stained with Leu-11. Furthermore, no reduction by anti-transferrin antibodies plus complement treatment of PBL or LGL, or inhibition by antibodies alone, was observed when the cells were tested against HSV-1-infected cells. Membrane extracts from LGL inhibited NK cytotoxicity against K-562 or HeLa cells. Moreover, the inhibitory component of this extract was removed by anti-transferrin IgG but not by control IgG. These results are in agreement with the recent hypothesis that NK cells recognize the transferrin receptor in tumor target cells, because both the transferrin receptor and anti-transferrin antibodies may share a similar structure that interacts with the NK cells. 相似文献

The recognition specificity of a murine helper T cell for hemagglutinin of influenza virus A/PR/8/34 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Human large granular lymphocytes (LGL), which are known to be responsible for natural killer (NK) cell activity, also produced a variety of lymphokines including interleukin 2 (IL 2), colony stimulating factor (CSF), and interferon (IFN) in response to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or concanavalin A (Con A). Human peripheral blood LGL, which were purified by removal of monocytes adhering to plastic flasks and nylon columns, followed by separation on a discontinuous Percoll gradient, and additional treatment with anti-OKT3 and Leu-M1 plus complement, were more potent producers of these lymphokines than unseparated mononuclear cells (MNC), nylon column-eluted cells, or purified T lymphocytes. Moreover, IL 2 production by LGL could be further distinguished in that it was not enhanced by the addition of macrophages or macrophage-derived factor, i.e., IL 1, whereas addition of macrophages did potentiate IL 2 production by T lymphocytes. Further analysis of cells in the LGL population using various monoclonal antibodies revealed that removal of cells with OKT11 or AF-10, a monoclonal antibody against human HLA-DR antigen, decreased IL 2 production, whereas removal of OKT8+, OKM1+, Leu-M1+, or Leu-7+ cells led to enhanced IL 2 production. The LGL population is therefore heterogeneous and includes at least three functionally and phenotypically distinct subsets. An atypical T cell subset (OKT3-, Leu-1-, OKT11+) rather than the myeloid subset of LGL (Leu-M1+ or OKMI+) was the source of LGL-derived IL 2, whereas the latter subset and/or another subset of OKT8+ cells appear to regulate this IL 2 production. In addition to performing NK activity, LGL on a per cell basis seem to be more effective than T lymphocytes in producing lymphokines, namely, IL2, CSF, and IFN. 相似文献

We investigated the inactivation of human NK cells, a population of large granular lymphocytes (LGL), with K562, an NK-sensitive target cell (TC) and KLCL, an NK-resistant TC, but which can be lysed by NK cells via antibody (Ab)-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. NK-enriched effector cells (ECc) were first treated with either K562 or Ab-coated KLCL (Ab-KLCL). After incubation, ECc were separated from their TC then examined for residual NK and ADCC activities, phenotypic changes, and changes in LGL morphology. K562-treated ECc and Ab-KLCL-treated ECc, when retested against the inactivating TC, respectively, lost greater than 90% of their lytic activities. However, K562-treated ECc lost 60 to 70% of their activity against Ab-KLCL, whereas Ab-KLCL-treated ECc lost less than 10% of their activity against K562. In contrast to what we observed with K562-treated ECc, we detected significant reductions in plasma membrane expression of Leu-11a and Leu-11b on Ab-KLCL-treated ECc. Although the proportion of OKM1+ cells remained unchanged after the inactivation process, the density of OKM1 on both K562-treated ECc and Ab-KLCL-treated ECc increased significantly. Morphologic analysis revealed no apparent differences in the percentages of LGL before and after treatment with K562 or Ab-KLCL. Finally, IL-2 restored lytic potential to both K562-treated ECc and Ab-KLCL-treated ECc and, in addition, IL-2-induced enhancement of Ab-KLCL-treated ECc was accompanied by a partial reexpression of Leu-11a. These data support the hypothesis that NK-cell-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity may result from a common lytic mechanism, although the initiation steps and regulation of the pathway are distinct. 相似文献

Summary The specific and natural killer (NK)-restricted nature of auto-tumour cytotoxicity of tumour-associated lymphocytes was studied in cancer patients with malignant pleural effusions. Large granular lymphocytes (LGL) and small T lymphocytes were isolated from carcinomatous pleural effusions by centrifugation on discontinuous Percoll gradients. Tumour cells freshly isolated from pleural effusions were classified according to their susceptibility to lysis by Percoll-purified LGL from the blood of normal donors in a 4-h 51Cr release assay. Of 12 NK-sensitive tumour samples, 11 were killed by autologous fresh effusion LGL, whereas only 2 were lysed by autologous T cells. Neither LGL nor T cells were cytotoxic to NK-resistant autologous tumour cells. T cells and LGL were each cultured in vitro with autologous tumour cells for 6 days. Effusion LGL maintained their auto-tumour killing activity in 10 of 12 autologous mixed lymphocyte-tumour cultures (MLTC) with NK-sensitive tumour, while LGL lost the activity when cultured alone. Removal of high-affinity sheep erythrocyte-rosetting cells from Percoll-purified LGL enriched effector cells. Autologous MLTC-derived LGL could also kill NK-sensitive allogeneic effusion tumour cells and K562 cells, as did fresh LGL. In autologous MLTC LGL failed to acquire lytic function to NK-resistant autologous tumour cells. In contrast, in vitro activation of effusion T cells with autologous tumour cells induced auto-tumour killer cells in 9 of 12 NK-sensitive tumour samples and 3 of 6 NK-resistant tumour cases. However, cultured T cells were incapable of killing allogeneic tumour cells and K562 cells. In the autologous MLTC effusion T cells proliferated vigorously in response to autologous tumour cells, whereas LGL showed no proliferation. The enrichment of blasts from cultured T cells on discontinuous Percoll gradients resulted in an enhancement of auto-tumour cytotoxicity, with no reactions recorded in blast-depleted, small, resting T cells. These results indicate that two distinct types of auto-tumour-recognising lymphocytes, LGL and T cells, are present in carcinomatous pleural effusions of cancer patients and that each effector type recognises different membrane moieties of autologous effusion tumour cells. 相似文献

Suppressive effect of human natural killer cells on pokeweed mitogen-induced B cell differentiation 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

The suppressive effect of human natural killer (NK) cells on B cell differentiation induced by pokeweed mitogen (PWM) was investigated. By using Percoll discontinuous density gradient centrifugation, peripheral blood nonphagocytic and nonadherent mononuclear cells were divided into low and high density fractions for which NK cells (Large granular lymphocytes, LGL) and T cells were enriched, respectively. These fractionated mononuclear cells were co-cultured with purified autologous B cells in the presence of PWM, and were examined for their helper and suppressor activities on differentiation of B cells to immunoglobulin-(IgM and IgG) producing cells by a highly sensitive reversed hemolytic plaque assay. The T cell-enriched high density fractions provided help for B cell differentiation to levels higher than that of unfractionated mononuclear cells. On the other hand, the NK-enriched low density fractions did not show helper activity, and when added to the culture of B cells plus helper T cells, they markedly suppressed B cell differentiation. This suppressive activity, as well as the NK cytotoxicity of the NK-enriched fractions, was abrogated by treatment of the cells with monoclonal antibody against human NK cells (HNK-1), but not against T cells (OKT3) in the presence of complement. NK cells also suppressed PWM-driven B cell differentiation in the presence of T4+ (helper/inducer T) but not T8+ (cytotoxic/suppressor T) cells; however, they showed no inhibition of soluble factor-induced B cell differentiation assayed in the absence of helper T cells. It is thus concluded that human peripheral blood NK cells exhibit an ability to suppress PWM-driven B cell differentiation, possibly by acting through the effect on helper T cells but not directly on B cells. 相似文献

The present study was an in vitro attempt to define the effector mechanisms against the intracellular bacterium Legionella pneumophila. Monocytes from human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) were infected in vitro with L. pneumophila and cultured for 2 days to allow intracellular replication of the bacterium. Cells were then labeled with 51Cr and used as targets in a 4-h 51Cr-release assay. We report here that autologous nonadherent PBL effectively lysed infected monocytes, and this activity was enhanced when the effector cells were precultured with IL 2 for 2 days. The IL 2-activated killer cells were also cytolytic against uninfected cultured monocytes, but cytotoxicity was higher against Legionella-infected target cells in a dose-dependent manner. The effector cells were located in Percoll density fractions that were enriched for large granular lymphocytes. The phenotype of the effector cell activated by IL 2 was determined to be OKM1+, OKT11+, partially Leu-11+, and negative for Leu-M1, OKT4, OKT8, and Leu-7, indicating that it is neither a T cell nor a monocyte, and is possibly and NK subset that is Leu-11+ and Leu-7-. Cold target inhibition studies indicated that a similar recognition structure is shared by both infected and uninfected monocytes, but differs from that on K562 tumor target cells. Thus, in addition to tumor surveillance and controlling viral infections, killer cells can be activated to provide protection against intracellular bacterial infections. 相似文献

Human T cell clones cytotoxic for autologous sarcoma cell lines have been developed from patient JM with an osteogenic sarcoma, and from patients EG and RM with malignant fibrohistiocytoma. These clones were derived from the cocultivation of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) with the respective patient's autologous irradiated established tumor cell lines (AIT). After two cycles of stimulation for 5 days in bulk culture, these "educated" lymphocytes were seeded at a density of 1 X 10(6) cells/well in 24-well plates and were cultured in the presence of highly purified natural IL 2 and AIT, the latter serving as a feeder layer. Cell numbers were reduced from the initial seeding density by one log each week until reaching a density of 10(2) cells. These cells were found to be stable in viability and cytotoxic activity, after which limiting dilution was then performed. Within 4 to 6 wk, clones were isolated with unique specificities. These clones were capable of proliferating to a total density of 10(9) cells/ml and maintained their specific cytotoxicity for more than 6 mo. Testing with a panel of target cells of various histotypes, cold-target inhibition assays, and blocking of cytotoxicity with anti-HLA monoclonal antibodies showed that the T cell clones recognize a common sarcoma-associated antigen and that the lysis is HLA restricted. Phenotypically, cytotoxic clones derived from JM were Leu-1+, Leu-2+, and Leu-3-, whereas those derived from EG exhibited either Leu-24 or Leu-3+ markers, the latter phenotype lacking cytotoxicity. RM exhibited mainly Leu-3+ clones with strong cytotoxicity. All were HNK-1- and HLA class II+, with less than 1% of cells of each clone stained by anti-TAC monoclonal antibody. The clones from each patient did not lyse autologous or allogeneic PBL, mitogen-induced T lymphoblasts, normal fibroblasts, cells isolated from benign neoplasms, carcinoma cells, Daudi B lymphoid cells, or K562 cells. With the exception of EG, all clones produced immune interferon in a range from 12 to 50 U/ml. The generation of long-term specific T cell clones can be used to further dissect the cellular immune response to sarcomas. Cytotoxic T cell clones have potential application for tumor immunotherapy. 相似文献

Effect of a monoclonal anti-large granular lymphocyte antibody on the human NK activity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A monoclonal hybridoma antibody of IgGIa subclass was produced by fusing NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells of a mouse immunized with human LGL cells. This hybridoma antibody, termed NK-8, was reactive by indirect immunofluorescence with 33% of peripheral blood LGL cells and 70% of LGL forming conjugates with K-562 cells. Monocytes, granulocytes, and other lymphocytes were nonreactive. In iodinated protein A binding assays NK-8 was nonreactive with all kinds of leukemia and lymphoma lines tested and showed activity only against LGL cells. NK-8 inhibited the LGL-mediated cytotoxicity against K-562 cells by 50 to 60% without complement and inhibited the K-562 induced interferon production from the LGL population. However, the spontaneous cytotoxicity against human skin fibroblasts was augmented if the effector cells were pretreated with NK-8. 相似文献

The growth factor transferrin (Tf) enhanced natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity. This enhancement was due to direct effects on NK cell function, and Tf treatment of the K562 target cell had no effect on their sensitivity. NK cells were highly enriched in the low-density large granular lymphocyte population (LGL) by Percoll gradient centrifugation. Despite the direct effect of Tf on NK cells, the number of cells expressing receptors for Tf (TfR) in NK-enriched LGL was the same as the NK-cell-depleted high-density small lymphocyte population (SL). All populations, tested without stimulation, had very few TfR+ cells. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) could induce very high NK-like activity in the LGL but not in SL. Similarly, only LGL could be induced by IL-2 to express TfR. In serum-free cultures, only limited NK-like activity could be developed which was greatly enhanced by supplementing with Tf in the cultures. The importance of Tf in NK-like development was confirmed by modulating the expression of TfR in IL-2 containing cultures with mouse monoclonal antibody OKT9 specific for TfR. OKT9 totally abrogated the induction of cytotoxic activity by IL-2 against K562 and NK-resistant target. OKT9 inhibited the induction of cytotoxicity in both lymphocytes containing active NK cells and in those predepleted of active NK cells, indicating that the development of NK-like activity from both precursor populations requires Tf. The inhibition by OKT9 was only during the induction phase. The same antibody had no effect on the cytotoxicity of fresh NK cells or the mature IL-2-induced NK-like cells. Our data therefore do not support the hypothesis of TfR as the NK recognition structure. Instead, these results indicate that Tf is important for the development of NK and NK-like activities. 相似文献

The relationship of CD16 (Leu-11) and Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen expression on human peripheral blood NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:75,自引:0,他引:75

We examined the antigenic and functional characteristics of human peripheral blood lymphocytes that differentially express the CD16 (Leu-11) and Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigens. Leu-19 is a approximately 220,000 daltons protein expressed on approximately 15% of freshly isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes. Within the Leu-19+ subset, three distinct populations were identified: CD3-,CD16+,Leu-19+ cells; CD3+,CD16-,Leu-19+ cells; and CD3-,CD16-,Leu-19bright+ cells. Both the CD3+,CD16-,Leu-19+ and CD3-,CD16+,Leu-19+ populations mediated non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted cytotoxicity against the NK-sensitive tumor cell K562 and were large granular lymphocytes. CD3-,CD16+,Leu-19+ NK cells were the most abundant (comprising approximately 10% of peripheral blood lymphocytes) and the most efficient cytotoxic effectors. The finding that CD3+,Leu 19+ lymphocytes mediated cytotoxicity against K562 unequivocally demonstrates that a unique subset of non-MHC-restricted cytotoxic CD3+ T lymphocytes are present in the peripheral blood of unprimed, normal individuals. However, CD3+,CD16-,Leu-19+ cells comprised less than 5% of peripheral blood lymphocytes, and the cytotoxic activity of this subset was significantly less than CD3-,CD16+,Leu-19+ NK cells. Most CD3+,Leu-19+ T cells co-expressed the CD2, CD8, and CD5 differentiation antigens. The antigenic and functional phenotype of peripheral blood CD3+,Leu-19+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes corresponds to the interleukin 2-dependent CD3+ cell lines that mediate non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity against NK-sensitive tumor cell targets. A small population of Leu-19bright+ lymphocytes lacking both CD3 and CD16 was also observed. This population (comprising less than 2% of peripheral blood lymphocytes) contained both large agranular lymphocytes and large granular lymphocytes. CD3-,CD16-,Leu-19bright+ lymphocytes also mediate non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity. The relationship of these CD3-CD16-,Leu-19bright+ lymphocytes to CD3+ T cells or CD16+ NK cells is unknown. 相似文献

The transformation of human agranular blood lymphocytes into large granular lymphocytes (LGL) was studied. On the average, 2.8% of peripheral blood lymphocytes differentiate in less than 24 hr into LGL when cultured with autologous plastic-adherent monocytes and the Burkitt's lymphoma cell line Raji. The LGL precursors were intermediate-density lymphoid cells that were heterogenous for T3, T8, and Leu-7 antigens, negative for T4 and Leu-11, and positive for NK-9. During the transformation, frequency of Leu-11-positive cells increased and the cytotoxic activity was augmented. In single cell cytotoxicity experiments, the number of binding cells increased, whereas the number of killer cells among the binding cells remained unaltered. The transformation inducing factor was detectable in coculture supernatants of Raji and monocytes or Raji and the myeloid cell line ML-2. Analyses of the Raji-ML-2 coculture supernatants with reverse phase and gel filtration high-pressure liquid chromatography indicated that the factor is a heat- and trypsin-sensitive hydrophilic molecule with an apparent m.w. of 1000. 相似文献

The coculture of rat bone marrow cells with recombinant interleukin-2 induced the generation of cells mediating natural killer (NK) activity and subsequent lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity depending upon the dose of IL-2 and time of culture. NK activity was detected as early as 4 to 5 days after the addition of IL-2 and could be evoked with as little as 5 to 50 U/ml. The induced NK cells had large granular lymphocyte (LGL) morphology and expressed 0X8 and asialo GM1 surface markers but did not express 0X19 or W3/25 markers. LAK activity was detected only after 5 days of culture, and required above 100 U/ml IL-2. Cells mediating LAK activity also expressed 0X8 and asialo GM1 but not 0X19. The generation of detectable NK and subsequent LAK activity was due to induction of early progenitor cells and not contaminating mature LGL/NK cells within the bone marrow population since of removal of such mature NK cells with L-leucine methyl ester (L-LME) did not affect the subsequent generation of either activity. Moreover, the removal of actively dividing cells as well as mature NK cells from the bone marrow by treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in vivo enriched the remaining bone marrow population for both NK and LAK progenitor cells. The phenotype of the L-LME- and 5-FU-resistant NK and LAK progenitor cells within populations of bone marrow was determined by antibody plus complement depletion analysis. Although treatment of normal bone marrow with anti-asialo GM1 + C reduced the induction of NK and LAK activity in 5-day cultures, treatment of 5-FU marrow with anti-asialo GM1 + C did not affect either activity. Treatment with a pan-T cell antibody + C did not affect the development of NK or LAK activity under any conditions. Thus, the 5-FU-resistant NK/LAK progenitors were asialo GM1 negative but became asialo GM1+ after induction by IL-2. Finally, evidence that bone marrow-derived LAK cells were generated directly from the IL-2-induced NK cells was obtained by treating the IL-2-induced LGL/NK cells with L-LME.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

This study was undertaken to characterize interactions among human T cell subpopulations involved in the generation of suppressor T cells specific for a soluble antigen. Purified PPD-primed Leu-3+ cells, when co-cultured for 7 days with fresh autologous Leu-2+ cells, induced differentiation of Leu-2+ but not Leu-3+ cells into specific suppressor T cells, which subsequently inhibited the proliferative response of fresh Leu-3+ cells to PPD but not to tetanus toxoid or allogeneic non-T cells. The PPD-specific suppressor effect of activated Leu-2+ cells was not due to altered kinetics of the PPD response and also extended to the secondary response of PPD-primed Leu-3+ cells. Furthermore, only those Leu-2+ cells that lacked the 9.3 marker, an antigen present on the majority of T cells including the precursors of cytotoxic T cells, differentiated into suppressor T cells. To analyze the inducer population, fresh Leu-3+ cells were separated into Leu-3+,8- and Leu-3+,8+ subpopulations with anti-Leu-8 monoclonal antibody, activated with PPD, and then were examined for inducer function. Although both Leu-3+,8- and Leu-3+,8+ cells proliferated in response to PPD and upon activation expressed comparable amounts of HLA-DR (Ia) antigens, the Leu-3+,8+ subpopulation alone induced Leu-2+ cells to become suppressor-effectors in the absence of PPD-pulsed autologous non-T cells. Once activated, however, Leu-2+ suppressor cells inhibited the PPD response of both Leu-3+,8- and Leu-3+,8+ cells. These results indicate that antigen-primed Leu-3+,8+ inducer cells can directly activate Leu-2+, 9.3- precursors of antigen-specific suppressor T cells in the absence of antigen-pulsed autologous non-T cells. 相似文献

Summary Ten patients with carcinomatous pleural effusions were treated with single intrapleural (i.pl.) injections of the streptococcal preparation OK432 on day 0 and the effects of i.pl. OK432 on the lysis of fresh or cryopreserved autologous tumor cells isolated from the pleural effusions were observed on day 7. In eight patients tumor cells in the effusions had decreased or disappeared by day 7. The other two patients, however, had no clinical evidence of therapeutic benefit from i.pl. OK432. Effusion tumor cells were relatively resistant to lysis by autologous lymphocytes when tested in a 4-h 51Cr-release assay. Positive reactions were recorded for blood and effusion lymphocytes in two of ten untreated patients. Injection of OK432 i.pl. resulted in an induction or augmentation of cytotoxicity against autologous tumor cells and K562 in the effusions of seven of ten subjects by day 7. In contrast, autologous tumor killing activity of blood lymphocytes was not always modified by i.pl. OK432. Purification of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) by discontinuous Percoll gradient centrifugation enriched autologous tumor killing activity, with no reactivity in LGL-depleted, small T lymphocytes. Significant lysis of autologous tumor cells was observed with effusion LGL from seven of ten untreated patients. Seven days after i.pl. OK432 injection, effusion LGL expressed enhanced cytotoxicity against autologous effusion tumor cells, whereas T cells were still not cytotoxic to autologous tumor cells on day 7. The frequency of LGL among effusion lymphocytes was not altered by i. pl. OK432. Adherent effusion cells were not involved in lysis of autologous effusion tumor cells in either untreated or OK432-treated patients. In vitro treatment of blood and effusion lymphocytes with OK432 induced an enhancement of autologous tumor-killing activity in patients who subsequently responded to i.pl. OK432 treatment. OK432 augmented in vitro autologous tumor killing activity of LGL, whereas T cells failed to lyse autologous tumor cells even after in vitro activation with OK432. These results indicate that i.pl. administration of OK432 to cancer patients will result in an augmentation of autologous tumor killing activity of LGL in the pleural effusions, and that this could be responsible for the antitumor activity of i.pl. OK432 therapy. 相似文献

The nature and function of the TCR on PBL of a patient with a chronic CD3+ large granular (LGL) proliferation was studied. Fresh peripheral blood from this individual was comprised of 80% lymphocytes, 65 to 75% of which were CD3+, CD8+, Leu-7+ LGL. Of these LGL, 72% initially expressed the TCR-alpha beta heterodimer, whereas 21% did not. Cytotoxicity directed against MHC-unrestricted targets was minimal. After several days of exposure to rIL-2, cytotoxic activity was greatly enhanced, correlating with a disappearance of CD3+ cells expressing the alpha beta heterodimer. Twelve days after rIL-2 exposure, the LGL expressed only TCR-gamma delta heterodimer in association with CD3 and alpha beta heterodimer expression could no longer be detected. The TCR/CD3 complex on these cells was demonstrated to be functional as anti-CD3 elicited an increase in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration, stimulated cytolytic activity, and stimulated granule enzyme secretion from the LGL. 相似文献

Lectin-dependent and anti-CD3 induced cytotoxicity are preferentially mediated by peripheral blood cytotoxic T lymphocytes expressing Leu-7 antigen 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Monoclonal antibodies against the CD3 antigen and certain lectins can induce interleukin 2 dependent antigen-specific T cell clones to mediate non-antigen specific cytotoxicity. On the basis of this observation, we predicted that it may be possible to identify cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in peripheral blood without knowing the antigen specificity of these in vivo primed CTL. By using this strategy, peripheral blood lymphocytes were separated into low and high-density fractions on Percoll gradients and were tested for cytotoxic activity in the presence or absence of concanavalin A (Con A) or anti-Leu-4 antibody. Lectin-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (LDCC) and anti-CD3 induced cytotoxicity against both natural killer (NK)-insensitive and NK-sensitive targets were exclusively mediated by low-density CD3+ T lymphocytes. Additional studies indicated that low-density CD3+ T lymphocytes co-expressing Leu-7 antigen preferentially mediated this activity, although in some individuals, significant activity was also observed in the low-density T cells lacking Leu-7. In contrast, high-density CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD16+ (Leu-11+) NK cells (both Leu-7 and Leu-7+) did not mediate nonantigen-specific cytotoxicity under these conditions. The finding that NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity was unaffected by these lectins refutes the hypothesis that lectin-dependent cellular cytotoxicity is simply a result of effector and target agglutination. T cell-mediated cytotoxicity was both lectin and antibody specific. Phytohemagglutinin, Con A, and pokeweed mitogen induced cytolytic activity in the Leu-7+ T cells, whereas wheat germ agglutinin did not. Of the antibodies against T cell-associated differentiation antigens (anti-Leu-2,3,4, and 5), only anti-Leu-4 induced cytotoxicity. This anti-CD3-induced cytotoxicity was essentially completely inhibited by the presence of anti-LFA-1 or anti-CD2 monoclonal antibodies, implicating these molecules in the triggering process. A proportion of the CD3+, Leu-7+ CTL expressed HLA-DR antigens, indicating possible in vivo activation. Because previous clinical studies have indicated that lymphocytes with this phenotype may be elevated in clinical situations associated with immunosuppression and chronic viral infection, this unique subset of CD3+ T lymphocytes may represent a population of in vivo primed CTL possibly against viral antigens. 相似文献

We showed previously that contact of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with glutaraldehyde-fixed Salmonella bacteria augmented their cytotoxic capacity against NK-sensitive targets. We have now analyzed the characteristics of the activation and also identified the subsets of lymphocytes responding to bacterial contact. Blocking of protein synthesis with cyclohexamide totally abrogated bacterial induction of activated killing (AK), whereas inhibition of DNA synthesis with mitomycin C did not significantly affect the capacity of lymphocytes to respond to bacterial contact. Both the induction and the effector phase of AK were radioresistant. The AK cells exhibited efficient lytic activity, comparable to that induced by recombinant IL 2 (rIL 2), against NK-resistant targets (including both hematopoietic and solid tumor cell lines). All inducible cytotoxic activity was contained within the subset of lymphocytes expressing Leu-19 (NKH-1) antigen. Leu-19- lymphocytes exhibited no significant NK activity and could not be further stimulated by bacterial contact, rIL 2, or IFN-alpha. Within the Leu-19+ lymphocyte subset, two distinct cell types were present; CD3-, Leu-19+ NK cells and CD3+. Leu-19+ T cells. The CD3+, Leu-19+, T cells mediated low levels of non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity against K562, but did not respond to bacterial contact, even though rIL 2 could augment their lytic activity slightly. However, the cytotoxic activity of CD3-, Leu-19+ NK cells was significantly augmented by bacterial contact. Within the CD3-, Leu-19+ NK cell population both CD16+ and CD16- cells responded to bacterial activation. The CD3-, CD16-, Leu-19+ cells constituted 1 to 4% of the Percoll-fractionated low buoyant density lymphocytes and accounted for the activation seen within the CD16- lymphocyte population. Thus bacterial stimulation of NK activity seems to be mediated for the most part via CD16+, Leu-19+ cells, and a minor overall contribution is mediated via CD3-, CD16-, Leu-19+ cells. No apparent involvement of T cells was seen in the lytic response of lymphocytes to bacterial contact. 相似文献
