Regulation of the production of immune interferon and cytotoxic T lymphocytes by interleukin 2 总被引:61,自引:0,他引:61

The activation of alloantigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors is dependent upon the presence of both macrophages and helper T cells or regulatory molecules derived from these facilitative cells. Three biochemically distinct helper factors have been identified: interleukin 1 (macrophage-derived), Interleukin 2 (T cell derived), and immune interferon. All 3 factors are found in supernatants of mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), however, the removal of macrophages from these cultures completely ablates the production of these factors as well as the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The addition of IL 2 to these macrophage-depleted MLC restores the ability of responder T cells to: 1) bypass the requirement for macrophage soluble function, 2) produce immune interferon, and 3) generate CTL. The kinetics and dose response of immune interferon production in response to IL 2 correlates with the generation of CTL. The production of immune interferon as well as the generation of CTL requires T cells, alloantigen, and IL2. Furthermore, the induction of CTL by IL2 was neutralized by the addition of anti-immune interferon. These data suggest that: 1) the regulation of immune interferon production is based on a T to T cell interaction mediated by IL 2, and 2) immune interferon production may be required for IL 2 induction of CTL. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the induction of CTL involves a linear cell-factor interaction in which IL 1 (macrophage-derived) stimulates T cells to produce IL 2, which in turn stimulates other T cells to produce immune interferon and become cytotoxic. 相似文献

Retrovirus-mediated immunosuppression. II. FeLV-UV alters in vitro murine T lymphocyte behavior by reversibly impairing lymphokine secretion 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Murine splenocytes and cloned murine T cells were used to study the in vitro immunosuppressive effects of UV-inactivated feline leukemia virus (FeLV-UV) on lymphokine secretion. FeLV-UV can significantly depress the accumulation of IL 2 in cultures of Con A-stimulated C57BL/6 splenocytes and in cultures containing the alloreactive helper T cell clone B6D/2-2m plus Con A. Inhibition of lymphokine accumulation in these cultures could not be attributed to absorption or inactivation of IL 2 by the FeLV-UV or to the FeLV-UV-induced production of substances which interfere with the IL 2 bioassay. Thus, FeLV-UV appears to block production and/or secretion of IL 2 by a direct inhibitory effect on IL 2-secreting murine T lymphocytes. Additional studies indicate that FeLV-UV impairs IL 2 production only if added very soon after lymphocyte contact with lymphokine-inducing agents and that IL 2 secretion resumes when FeLV-UV is removed from the culture. FeLV-UV also impairs accumulation of MAF (interferon-gamma?) in cultures of Con A-stimulated C57BL/6 splenocytes and in cultures containing the alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocyte clone B6D/2-7c plus Con A. The latter observation again suggests that FeLV-UV impairs lymphokine secretion by a direct effect on lymphokine-producing T lymphocytes. Furthermore, it suggests that FeLV-UV does not selectively impair production of IL 2 nor does it have selective inhibitory effects on helper T cells. Rather, FeLV-UV appears to have a general inhibitory effect on lymphokine production by T lymphocytes. Finally, concentrations of FeLV-UV which suppress MAF production by the CTL clone have little influence on the cytolysis mediated by the same cloned T cell population. Thus, the immunosuppressive influence of FeLV-UV is selective for phenomena associated with induction of new T lymphocyte functions, such as lymphokine secretion, and spares other immune functions already expressed by the same cells. 相似文献

The proliferative response of spleen cells to concanavalin A (Con A) can be abrogated by plastic adherent suppressors generated in syngeneic mixed lymphocyte cultures of spleen cells. The addition of exogenously produced interleukins does not overcome the suppression, indicating that the suppressors are not simply competing for available growth factors. To examine the effect of the suppressors on IL 2 production and responsiveness, spleen cells were stimulated with Con A in the presence of the suppressors and assayed both for ability to produce IL 2 and for ability to bind IL 2. The culture supernates of suppressed spleen cells contained normal titers of biologically active IL 2, indicating that the suppressors do not inhibit IL 2 production or inactivate IL 2 after it is produced. Since IL 1 is required for IL 2 production, the failure of the suppressors to affect IL 2 production suggests that the suppressors have no effect on either production of, or responsiveness to, IL 1. The suppressed cells did, however, display a substantial reduction in ability to absorb IL 2 activity from a standard IL 2 preparation. The reduced frequency of IL 2 reactive cells did not appear to be due to a cytotoxic reaction insofar as no difference in viable cell recovery was noted between suppressed and nonsuppressed cultures at the time of assay. The suppressors therefore appear to inhibit the expression of IL 2 responsiveness without inhibiting the production of IL 2. 相似文献

The effect of L-ornithine on cytotoxic and proliferative responses in mixed leukocyte cultures has been analyzed. The activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was strongly inhibited when 9 X 10(-3) M L-ornithine was added at the initiation of the cultures. The CTL precursor cells were not completely and irreversibly inactivated, however, since the cells generated normal cytotoxic activity if resuspended after 6 days in fresh culture medium together with a fresh set of stimulator cells. Experiments in microcultures with nylon-wool-nonadherent T-cell-enriched spleen cells as responder cells and "plastic adherent cells" as stimulator cells revealed that the cytotoxic responses were almost completely suppressed if ornithine was added within the first 20 hr but were only partially suppressed if ornithine was added after 48 hr. Also, ornithine had only a mild suppressive effect on proliferative responses in allogeneic and syngeneic mixed leukocyte cultures. The strong suppressive effect of the cytotoxic response was therefore not explained by a general toxic effect of L-ornithine on the responding cells in the culture. The addition of interleukin 2 (IL-2)-containing EL-4 supernatants did not prevent but rather enhanced the suppressive effect of L-ornithine. This indicated that the inhibitory effect was not (exclusively) expressed at the level of the IL-2-producing helper T cells. Since activated macrophages have been reported to secrete arginase, it appears that L-ornithine may be part of a regulatory circuit that selectively regulates the development of cytotoxic effector T cells. 相似文献

Conversion of specific to nonspecific cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The type of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) generated during a mixed leukocyte culture has been shown to depend on the purity of interleukin 2 (IL 2) used to stimulate growth. Antigen-specific CTL requiring both antigen and IL 2 to proliferate or express cytotoxicity (designated Type I in this work) are generated and maintained with highly purified IL 2. In the presence of IL 2 alone, they persist in a quiescent, noncytotoxic state, and on its removal they rapidly die. A second type of CTL (Type II), of nonspecific cytotoxicity, and dependent only on IL 2 for growth, is generated by exposure to an impure lymphokine preparation containing IL 2. Type I cells are T lymphocytes which are nongranular and nonadherent, whereas Type II cells are larger, adhere to plastic, and contain many granules. Cloned Type I cells are converted to Type II under three conditions: by low levels of IL 2 in the presence of a crude lymphokine preparation; by high levels of IL 2 in the presence of antigen; or by high levels of IL 2 in the presence of the phorbol diester PMA. Conversion results from an effect of the growth conditions on individual cells, and not from selection of a minor population. 相似文献

The alloantigen-induced suppressor function of cells from 3-day mixed leukocyte culture (MLC) was studied. These cells, when co-cultured with normal syngeneic lymphocytes and cells of the same haplotype as the original inducing alloantigen, inhibited the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Suppression was mediated by a radiation-resistant Lyt-2+ T cell. The suppressor T cells appeared to act by inhibiting the clonal expansion of CTL precursors in the responder cell population, determined by limiting dilution analysis. Levels of endogenous interleukin 2 (IL 2) in co-cultures with suppressor T cells were diminished, and the addition of exogenous IL 2 to co-cultures cancelled the suppressor T cell effects. The suppressor cell population was shown to be capable of absorbing IL 2 from lymphokine preparations, and in contrast to mitogen-induced suppressor T cells, after exposure to IL 2 the allostimulated suppressor T cell remains active. The results are discussed in terms of possible modes of action of the suppressor T cell. 相似文献

Summary High levels of cytotoxic activity against the natural killer (NK) cell-sensitive target K562 and the NK-resistant target UCLA-SO-M14 (M14) can be generated in vitro either by mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) or by culture of lymphocytes in interleukin 2 (IL2) (lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells). The purpose of this study was to identify similarities and differences between MLC-LAK and IL2-LAK cells and allospecific cytotoxic T cells. Induction of cytotoxicity against K562 and M14 in both culture systems was inhibited by antibodies specific either for IL2 or the Tac IL2 receptor. Like NK effector cells, the precursors for the MLC-LAK cells were low density large lymphocytes. However these precursors differed from the large granular lymphocytes that mediated NK cytolysis in sensitivity to the toxic lysosomotropic agent L-leucine methyl ester (LME). The resistance of the MLC-LAK precursors to LME indicated that the precursors included large agranular lymphocytes. Although interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is produced in MLC and in IL2 containing cultures, it is not required for induction of either type of cytotoxic activity. Neutralization of IFN-gamma in MLC-and IL2-containing cultures with specific antibodies had no effect on the induction of cytotoxic activities. Both allospecific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and LAK activities were enhanced by IL2 and IFN-gamma at the effector cell stage. However, the mechanism of cytolysis was different in the two systems. NK- and MLC-induced LAK activities were independent of CD3-T cell receptor complex while CTL activity was blocked by monoclonal antibodies specific for the CD3 antigen. These results suggest that NK and the in vitro induced LAK cytotoxicities are a family of related functions that differ from CTL. Furthermore, MLC-induced and IL2-induced cytotoxicities against K562 and M14 appear to be identical.This work was supported by NIH grant CA34442 相似文献

Effects of costimulator on immune responses in vitro. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J Shaw V Monticone G Mills V Paetkau 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1978,120(6):1974-1980
We recently described a factor, costimulator, that is required for the concanavalin A-induced proliferation of CBA mouse thymocytes in vitro (see Reference 1). Using the costimulator dependence of mouse thymocytes as an assay, we have now determined that spleen cells from congenitally athymic (nude) BALB/c mice do not produce costimulator in response to Con A, and spleen cells depleted of Thy 1-positive cells do not respond to it in the presence of Con A. Thus, costimulator both requires thymus-derived (Thy 1+ lymphocytes for its production and has an effect on this type of cell. (However, the costimulator-producing and responsive cells may be different.) Purified costimulator preparations are a source of the required second component for the stimulation of adult, CBA/J thymic lymphocytes by PHA, normally a poor mitogen for these cells. They also enhance the level of DNA synthesis in a mixed leukocyte reaction, and the specific generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes to allogeneic tumor cells in vitro. Costimulator is not H-2 restricted in its effects, and it is produced in mixed leukocyte reactions. Finally, it has been possible to grow normal, primary thymic lymphocytes in culture for about 20 days by adding partially purified costimulator to the cultures. 相似文献

T cell synergy in the primary MLR: proliferative kinetics, effector cell generation, and IL 2 production 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
D R Salomon D J Cohen J M Williams C B Carpenter 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1984,133(6):3075-3083
A primary rat MLR was initiated, and on each of 8 consecutive days during the evolving culture, an aliquot of cells was separated into its constitutive helper/inducer (W3/25+) and suppressor/cytotoxic (OX8+) T cell subsets by a monoclonal antibody, Degalan-bead immunoadsorbent column technique. This allowed a detailed kinetic analysis of T cell proliferation, the generation of effector cells, and the production of IL 2 by each subset relative to net whole culture supernatant IL 2 activity. The primary MLR demonstrates an early period of helper/inducer cell proliferation, IL 2 production and accumulation, followed by a period of suppressor/cytotoxic cell (OX8+) proliferation and IL 2 consumption during which there are distinct waves of allospecific suppressor, followed by cytotoxic activity. If fresh T cells of the helper/inducer or suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype were preseparated and then cultured alone with irradiated allogeneic stimulator cells, proliferation was noted in both subsets despite no demonstrable IL 2 activity in cultures of the suppressor/cytotoxic cells. Finally, a suppressed primary MLR exhibited proliferative inhibition of both T cell subsets. 相似文献

Culture supernatants of murine thymocytes or spleen cells responding in a secondary syngeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (SMLR) were studied for their biologic effects on cell-mediated immune responses in vitro. Such supernatants contained helper factor(s) that facilitated the development of alloantigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses from thymocyte precursors. Thymocytes, but not spleen cells, required activation by allogeneic effect factor (AEF) in primary culture in order to proliferate and produce biologically active mediator(s) during a secondary SMLR. The same culture supernatants possessed, in some instances, weak T cell growth factor (TCGF; IL 2) activity. However, TCGF activity could be dissociated from helper factor(s) active in the CTL induction assay because some culture supernatants that had potent helper activity were devoid of TCGF activity. This lack of TCGF activity was not due to a lower degree of sensitivity of the TCGF assay or to the presence of a selective TCGF inhibitor in the SMLR-derived supernatants, indicating that the helper factor(s) studied is distinct from TCGF. Production of immunoregulatory lymphokines during the SMLR may serve as a physiologically relevant model for studying the role of T cell-derived lymphokines in immunoregulation. 相似文献

Induction of interleukin 3 but not interleukin 2 or interferon production in the syngeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The syngeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (SMLR) was assayed in the medium containing syngeneic normal mouse serum (NMS), by using nylon-adherent stimulator cells and nonadherent responder T cells, which were prepared from murine spleens in the absence of fetal calf serum (FCS) to avoid any sensitization to xenogeneic protein antigens. The responder cells in this SMLR, without definite background proliferation, generated specific proliferative response to the syngeneic stimulator cells in a dose-related fashion. The SMLR was accompanied by production of interleukin 3 (IL 3) but not interleukin 2 (IL 2) or interferon (IFN). No cytotoxicity against the syngeneic or allogeneic target cells was induced. Correlating with no production of IL 2 or IFN, no natural killer (NK) activity was detected. The proliferation was not inhibited by addition of specific antiserum for IFN-gamma. In contrast, proliferation in the responder cells when incubated with allogeneic stimulator cells was inhibited by anti-IFN-gamma serum and accompanied by production of IL 2 and IFN as well as IL 3, and by augmentation of NK activity and generation of cytotoxic T cells. Cell surface analysis revealed that the cells producing IL 3 in this SMLR system were Thy-1+ Lyt-1+2- helper T cells. Cells responding to the SMLR culture fluids with DNA replication were Thy-1-Lyt-1-2- asialo GM1- no-marker cells, which were the same as a population responsible for partially purified IL 3. On the other hand, when the responder cells were exposed to FCS before culture and assayed for SMLR in the FCS-free NMS medium, variable levels of IL 2 production were induced in response to the stimulator cells. The responder cells generated a high background DNA replication in the absence of syngeneic stimulators, suggesting that this IL 2 production may result from the stimulation of T cells by FCS as a foreign antigen. Overall, these results suggest that the SMLR may be a cellular interaction, in which non-T cells stimulate Lyt-1+2- helper T cells to produce IL 3 but not IL 2 or IFN. This IL 3 can, in turn, induce proliferation of IL 3 responding cells, which appear to be early precursors in lymphocyte differentiation, but no proliferative response or activation of IL 2- and IFN-dependent mature T cells or NK cells. 相似文献

Purified polyribonucleotide-induced human fibroblast interferon (HFIF) was tested for its effects on proliferative and cytotoxic human T cell responses to alloantigens. The addition of HFIF (100 to 400 IFU/ml) to mixed leukocyte cultures decreased alloantigen-induced lymphocyte proliferative responses as determined by both recovery of responding cells and by 3H-thymidine incorporation into responding cells. However, HFIF, but not the mock interferon preparation, increased the cytotoxic response of T cells to allogeneic cells by 4- to 5-fold when expressed in terms of lytic units. Although fibroblast and leukocyte interferons have different physicochemical and biologic properties, the results reported here are in concert with previous findings concerning the effects of virus-induced leukocyte interferon on human T cell functions. 相似文献

Five children with primary deficiencies of T cell function were studied to assess the effects of highly purified exogenous Interleukin 2 (IL 2) on their in vitro T cell responses. The lymphocytes from one child with Nezelof's T cell deficiency demonstrated absence of endogenous IL 2 production and improved proliferative responses to mitogen or alloantigen in the presence of exogenous IL 2. Moreover, during in vitro mixed lymphocyte culture in the presence of exogenous IL 2, his lymphocytes were able to develop into cytotoxic effector cells. A second child with Nezelof's syndrome demonstrated a different type of defect. The lymphocytes from this child had less impairment of endogenous IL 2 production. Although IL 2 increased the proliferation of his cells in response to PHA, similar augmentation was not seen after stimulation with OKT3 or alloantigen. In cell-mediated cytotoxicity assays, after mixed lymphocyte culture, natural killer-like activity was strongly boosted in the cultures that contained IL 2, but T cell-mediated cytotoxicity was not. The lymphocytes from three patients with severe combined immunodeficiency did not show improved proliferative responses in the presence of IL 2. Thus, only one of the five patients demonstrated the combination of defective endogenous IL 2 production, but preservation of the ability to respond appropriately to exogenous IL 2. This child may therefore have suffered from a T cell defect pathophysiologically similar to that seen in nude or aged mice. 相似文献

Stimulated T cell-derived inhibitory factor for cellular DNA synthesis (STIF), a lymphokine produced from concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated rat suppressor T cells, was examined for its inhibitory effect on various cultured cells and on in vitro immune reactions. STIF could inhibit the DNA synthesis of a variety of normal and neoplastic cells from rats, mice, and humans in a dose-dependent fashion. Kinetics studies revealed that STIF selectively inhibited cellular DNA synthesis after incubation for 12 hr, but after 36 hr, it also inhibited RNA and protein syntheses. The inhibited cellular DNA synthesis by 12-hr incubation with STIF was recovered after culturing the cells in STIF-free medium. The inhibitory effect of STIF on the DNA synthesis was not blocked by addition of a sugar (alpha-methyl-D-mannoside, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, L-fucose, or L-rhamnose) in culture, as determined by using rat bone marrow cells. STIF inhibited proliferative responses of rat lymphocytes to T cell mitogens, Con A and phytohemagglutinin, and a B cell mitogen, lipopolysaccharide, as well as IL 2-dependent growth of cloned T572 cells. It could also inhibit both blastogenesis and cytotoxic T cell generation in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction. The release of IL 2 from Con A-stimulated T cells was also inhibited by the added STIF in culture, as demonstrated from the finding that IL 2 activity was not detected in the supernatants even after an anion-exchange column chromatography. These results indicate that STIF could inhibit cellular DNA synthesis in a species-unrestricted manner and thus inhibits the proliferation of various normal and neoplastic cells, and that it could also inhibit lectin- or IL 2-dependent T cell proliferation as well as IL 2 production from T cells in in vitro immune reactions. 相似文献

Induction of suppressor cells in autologous mixed lymphocyte culture (AMLC) in humans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
T cells stimulated for 6-7 days in autologous mixed lymphocyte culture (AMLC) showed suppressive effects when added to fresh mixed cultures where autologous lymphocytes (A) were stimulated by Mitomycin C-treated allogeneic lymphocytes (Xm), in a ratio of A:Xm:AMLC-activated cells of 1:1:0.5. Both cytotoxic and proliferative activities in second cultures, as assayed after 6 days of incubation, were significantly inhibited (percentage suppression of cytotoxic activity observed in 17 experiments was 75.3 +/- 22.4; percentage suppression of proliferation was 60.6 +/- 18.2). Suppressor cells (SC) generated in AMLC were Mitomycin C sensitive and nonspecific in their action; not only A/Xm but also X/Am and X/Ym cultures were suppressed to the same extent. AMLC-Activated cells showed a considerable degree of proliferation in response to alloantigens but failed to express any cytotoxic activity against autologous or allogeneic phytohemagglutinin blasts. Thus, the inhibitory effect observed in this system is not due to cytotoxic elimination of responding or stimulating cells in the second culture but rather reflects a true regulatory (suppressive) mechanism. 相似文献

Contra-IL 2; a suppressor lymphokine that inhibits IL 2 activity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Suppressive activity of culture supernatant of AS-9 (AS-9 CS), a T cell hybridoma line that was derived from fusion of BW5147 thymoma and splenic T cells of anti-lymphocyte serum-treated C3H mice, was analyzed. AS-9 CS inhibited allogeneic cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) generation as well as T cell proliferation to alloantigens and mitogens, but failed to inhibit B cell response to lipopolysaccharide or growth of tumor and fibroblast cells. Although addition of AS-9 CS to the allogeneic sensitization culture as late as on day 2 of incubation resulted in maximal inhibiton of CTL generation, removal of AS-9 CS on day 3 of incubation abolished its inhibitory effect. Addition of purified IL 2 together with AS-9 CS to the allogeneic sensitization cultures only partially abrogated the suppression. Experiments with IL 2-dependent cytotoxic T cell line (CTLL) showed that AS-9 CS suppressed the IL 2-induced proliferation of CTLL. Preincubation of AS-9 CS with CTLL removed its inhibitory effect on CTL generation. These results indicate that AS-9 CS interferes with the mechanism of T cell activation by IL 2. On this basis, AS-9 CS was named contra-IL 2. 相似文献

Stages of T cell activation: continued antigen dependence of IL 2-producing cells after IL 2 receptor expression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Alloantigen stimulation leads, within 48 to 72 hr, to the expression of IL 2 receptors (IL 2R) on the surface of most of the helper T cells with specificity for the stimulating antigens. The IL 2R-bearing cells, separated by flow cytometry from 3-day human or mouse mixed lymphocyte cultures, were found by limiting dilution methods to be enriched 10- to 20-fold (compared to IL 2R- cells) for antigen-specific helper T cells detected by IL 2 production. Although these cells have been activated to an IL 2R+ stage, most of them are unable to produce detectable IL 2 unless they are cultured together with the original, activating antigen. Even when IL 2 is supplied, and lymphokine production measured by assay of a second factor, IL 3, the large majority of individual activated helper T cells remain dependent on further antigenic exposure for their continued maturation into lymphokine-secreting effectors. Helper T cells at this early stage of activation can therefore proliferate when given IL 2 alone, but lymphokine secretion involves a second antigen-dependent step. 相似文献

Inhibition of T cell-mediated functions by MVM(i), a parvovirus closely related to minute virus of mice 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

A purified preparation of MVM(i), a murine parvovirus closely related to minute virus of mice (MVM), was found to inhibit various functions mediated by murine T cells in vitro. Addition of MVM(i) virus to secondary allogeneic mixed leukocyte cultures resulted in the inhibition of both lymphocyte proliferation (3H-thymidine incorporation) and the generation of cytolytic T lymphocyte activity but not interferon production. MVM(i) virus also inhibited the growth and cytolytic activity of several cloned, long-term Lyt-2+ cytolytic T cell lines. Furthermore, the antigen-induced proliferative responses of parasite- (Leishmania) specific Lyt-1+ T cells in vitro was abrogated by the addition of MVM(i) virus to the culture. Finally, the suppression of an in vitro antibody response to SRBC by MVM(i) virus was the result of the inhibition of T helper cells required for the B cell response. These suppressive effects were specific for MVM(i); parallel studies in which the prototype MVM parvovirus was used showed no significant inhibition in the various systems tested. 相似文献

The effect of L-ornithine on several types of immune reactions was analyzed. L-ornithine was found to suppress the activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vivo and in vitro. This suppressive effect was not observed with the structural analogues D-ornithine, L-lysine, or putrescine or with the amino acids L-histidine or L-alanine. The concentration of 9 X 10(-3) M L-ornithine was found to mediate a practically complete suppression of the cytotoxic response in vitro if applied on day 0 or day 1 of the culture, but a comparably weak suppression if applied on day 3. The same concentration of L-ornithine had no effect on the production of the lymphokines interleukin 2 (IL 2) and gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma). This concentration of ornithine had also no substantial effect on several types of proliferative responses, including the allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction, the concanavalin A-activated IL 2-dependent proliferation of thymocytes, and IL 2-dependent proliferation of the T cell clone W-2. These observations suggest that L-ornithine inhibits selectively the differentiation of CTL effector cells. By the criteria tested, the immunosuppressive effect of L-ornithine is more selective than that of cyclosporine A, which was previously found to suppress not only the activation of cytotoxic activity but also proliferative responses and the production of the lymphokines IL 2 and IFN-gamma. 相似文献

IL-4 production by T cells from naive donors. IL-2 is required for IL-4 production 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

Utilizing a sensitive and selective assay for IL-4, it was shown that lymph node T cells from naive mice could produce small amounts of this lymphokine in response to anti-CD3 antibodies adsorbed to culture dishes. The capacity of these cells to produce IL-4 in response to plate-bound anti-CD3 was substantially enhanced by the addition of IL-2 to the culture and was strikingly inhibited by monoclonal anti-IL-2 antibody. Thus, IL-2 appears to be essential for IL-4 production by anti-CD3 antibody-stimulated T cells from naive mice. The effect of IL-2 was not mediated either by preferential proliferation or survival of precursors of IL-4 producing cells, indicating that IL-2 regulates T cell production of IL-4. IL-4 producing capacity of T cells from naive mice was found mainly among CD4+ T cells. Large T cells produced much more IL-4, on a per cell basis, than did small T cells. In contrast, small T cells appeared to be equal or superior to large T cells in producing IL-2. The superiority of large T cells in IL-4-producing capacity was not accounted for by a lack of an accessory cell population from the small T cells as addition of large spleen cells depleted of both B and T cells did not enhance IL-4 production by small lymph node T cells. These results suggest that the bulk of IL-4 production by T cell populations, from normal mice, in response to anti-CD3 depends upon cells that are already activated and that IL-2 is required for such production. 相似文献
