The occurrence of MHC class I and class II antigens on four human colonic carcinoma cell lines and the effect of recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFNg) on the expression of these antigens was investigated by immunofluorescent flow cytometry. The concentration of rIFNg which resulted in the largest increase in expression of class I and class II antigens was determined. Changes in the amount of MHC antigen on the membrane were indicated by a shift in the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the cell population. Without addition of rIFNg, the COLO 206, COLO 320F and COLO 397 cell lines were class I positive although the COLO 206 cell line expressed less class I antigen than the other two lines. The HT-29 cell line expressed only a minimal level of class I antigen. Treatment with rIFNg increased the amount of class I antigen on these cell lines 5, 1.4, 2.5 and 20 times respectively. Maximum levels of class I antigen were found two days after treatment. Class I antigen expression returned to pre-treatment levels by day 8 in all but the HT-29 cell line, which maintained its increased level following a single dose of rIFNg. All four cell lines had little or no class II antigens. Following treatment with rIFNg, DR antigen appeared on all four lines whereas DP and DQ antigens could be induced only on the 320F and 397 lines. The amount of class II antigen reached its peak two days after treatment and gradually decreased over the next 6 days of culture.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.

D015395 Histocompatibility Antigens Class I Membrane glycoproteins consisting of an alpha subunit and a BETA 2-MICROGLOBULIN beta subunit. In humans, highly polymorphic genes on CHROMOSOME 6 encode the alpha subunits of class I antigens and play an important role in determining the serological specificity of the surface antigen. Class I antigens are found on most nucleated cells and are generally detected by their reactivity with alloantisera. These antigens are recognized during GRAFT REJECTION and restrict cell-mediated lysis of virus-infected cells.
