Abstract: | The augmentative effects of isolated components of human dialyzable leukocyte lysates upon the proliferative response to antigen were investigated. Sequential Sephadex G-25 and Bio-Gel P-4 chromatography separated five distinct fractions which, 24 hr after injection into Keyhole limpet hemacyanin (KLH)-sensitive mice, either augmented or suppressed the in vitro spleen cell proliferative response to KLH. An amplifier molecule was isolated from one of the augmentative fractions by high-pressure, reverse-phase liquid chromatography. Preliminary structural analysis of the amplifier component indicated a nucleoside structure, similar to—but possibly distinct from—thymidine. |
