Lymphokines regulate expression of cell surface antigens and production of suppressor factors by murine suppressor T cell hybridomas. 1986

J Trial, and D C Shreffler, and J A Kapp

Suppressor T cell hybridomas specific for L-glutamic acid 60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) elaborate monoclonal suppressor factors (TsF) and bear surface markers such as H-2, I-J, and Thy-1 antigens. Over a period of years in culture, the production of TsF by such hybridomas has been constitutive and continuous; by contrast, the expression of surface markers has declined and some have been lost. The mixture of lymphokines in the supernatant fluid from concanavalin A-activated mixtures of allogeneic splenocytes (CAS) restored surface antigen expression, and the effective agents have been identified by using purified sources of lymphokines. Murine gamma interferon (IFN gamma) induced expression of H-2 class I antigens, but not I-J or Thy-1, in the hybridoma cells. Human interleukin 2 (IL-2) induced the increased expression of I-J and Thy-1 but not H-2 class I antigens. Interestingly, production of TsF was decreased by IFN gamma treatment but increased by IL-2, indicating some measure of regulation by lymphokines of the level of a protein that is constitutively produced.

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.

D006825	Hybridomas	Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell.	Hybridoma
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000954	Antigens, Surface	Antigens on surfaces of cells, including infectious or foreign cells or viruses. They are usually protein-containing groups on cell membranes or walls and may be isolated.

D013491	Suppressor Factors, Immunologic	Proteins, protein complexes, or glycoproteins secreted by suppressor T-cells that inhibit either subsequent T-cells, B-cells, or other immunologic phenomena. Some of these factors have both histocompatibility (I-J) and antigen-specific domains which may be linked by disulfide bridges. They can be elicited by haptens or other antigens and may be mass-produced by hybridomas or monoclones in the laboratory.

D050378	T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory	CD4-positive T cells that inhibit immunopathology or autoimmune disease in vivo. They inhibit the immune response by influencing the activity of other cell types. Regulatory T-cells include naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ cells, IL-10 secreting Tr1 cells, and Th3 cells.
