The in vitro effects of Bordetella pertussis lymphocytosis-promoting factor on murine lymphocytes. III. B-cell dependence for T-cell proliferation. 1979

M K Ho, and A S Kong, and S I Morse

The nature of the helper lymphocytes in lymphocytosis-promoting factor (LPF)-induced proliferation was explored. Removal of macrophages from adherent splenocytes by either carbonyl-iron incubation or passage through Sephadex G-10 columns did not affect their synergistic function. Nor did cytolysis with Thy-1.2 antiserum and complement. The helper cells were found to be surface immunoglobulin-positive (sIg+) because they are retained by anti-Ig columns, susceptible to lysis by rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin and complement, and occurred in the sIg+ fractions of splenocytes after separation on the fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Further delineation of the surface markers on helper cells showed that complement receptors are not the determining marker for synergistic function. The requirement for B-helper cells in the stimulation of T lymphocytes by LPF is unique for a mouse of T-cell mitogen.

D008222	Lymphokines	Soluble protein factors generated by activated lymphocytes that affect other cells, primarily those involved in cellular immunity.	Lymphocyte Mediators,Mediators, Lymphocyte
D008264	Macrophages	The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D011947	Receptors, Antigen, B-Cell	IMMUNOGLOBULINS on the surface of B-LYMPHOCYTES. Their MESSENGER RNA contains an EXON with a membrane spanning sequence, producing immunoglobulins in the form of type I transmembrane proteins as opposed to secreted immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES) which do not contain the membrane spanning segment.
