Alloreactive human T-helper cell clones chronically exposed to specific antigen can become tolerised, i.e. lose their autocrine proliferative capacity and no longer undergo antigen-driven clonal expansion. To study parameters of possible clonal anergy in such cells, lymphokine secretion before and after tolerisation was measured. 10/10 CD4+ clones were found to secrete interleukin 2 (IL-2), interferon gamma, tumour necrosis factor alpha and granulocyte/macrophages colony stimulating factors. Tolerised clones which had lost autocrine proliferative capacity and had lost the ability to secret IL-2 nevertheless retained the ability to secrete the other lymphokines. These results thus show a highly selective lesion in the noncoordinate regulation of lymphokine secretion by tolerised cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
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.

It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
