Phagocytosis of lymphoblastoid cells and cell destruction of human malignant tumor cells. 1975

T Kimoto, and A Ueki, and K Nishitani

On the basis of the previous study, on the cell interaction between malignant tumor cells and other cells, especially with lymphocytes, the present study was carried out by investigating cell to cell interaction of human malignant tumor cells and human lymphoblastoid cells such as T-cell (MOLT-4 cell) and B-cell (Burkitt lymphoma cell). As a result it has been revealed that live lymphoblastoid cells were not adhered on the cell surface of the tumor cells, nor is it ingested by tumor cells, but in thepresence of HVJ (Sendai virus: 2,000 H.A. units) it adheres slightly on the cell surface of tumor cell but no cell fusion of tumor cells and lymphoblastoid cells is observable. On the other hand, the tumor cell as well as T-cell and B-cell all have receptors to concanavalin A (Con. A) on their cell surfaces, and they show a marked cell binding such as tumor cell and T-cell, tumor cell and B-cell, and there can be observed a marked phagocytosis of lymphoblastoid cells by tumor cells. Moreover, the tumor cells that have phagocytized lymphoblastoid cells undergo a marked cell destruction within 4 hours of cell-binding and phagocytosis, which is especially prominent in the case of phagocytosis of E.B cell by tumor cell.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007104 Immune Adherence Reaction A method for the detection of very small quantities of antibody in which the antigen-antibody-complement complex adheres to indicator cells, usually primate erythrocytes or nonprimate blood platelets. The reaction is dependent on the number of bound C3 molecules on the C3b receptor sites of the indicator cell.

D007945 Leukemia, Lymphoid Leukemia associated with HYPERPLASIA of the lymphoid tissues and increased numbers of circulating malignant LYMPHOCYTES and lymphoblasts. Leukemia, Lymphocytic,Lymphocytic Leukemia,Lymphoid Leukemia,Leukemias, Lymphocytic,Leukemias, Lymphoid,Lymphocytic Leukemias,Lymphoid Leukemias
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
