Ligand-activated T cell growth factor-induced proliferation: absorption of T cell growth factor by activated T cells. 1979

G D Bonnard, and K Yasaka, and D Jacobson

The fate in culture of the T cell growth factor (TCGF), which is required for continued growth of human cultured T cells (CTC) in vitro, was studied. TCGF activity was stable for 7 days at 37 degrees C. However, it was no longer detectable after incubation with actively growing CTC at 37 degrees C for 3 days. This loss of TCGF activity also occurred quite rapidly and was detectable within 1 hr of incubation of 0.3 ml supernatant with 2 to 5 x 10(7) CTC at 23 degrees C. 2 x 10(8) mononuclear peripheral blood leukocytes were not effective in removing TCGF activity, and incubation with similar numbers of cells from B and T cell lines had no effect. Three-day-old concanavalin A and phytohemagglutinin blasts were very reactive with TCGF, so that 10(7) or 2 x 10(7) cells consistently removed TCGF activity. These experiments suggested specific absorption of TCGF by activated T cells, and led us to develop a model of ligand-activated TCGF-induced proliferation of T cells: Ligands induce production of TCGF by T-producer cells and deliver a first signal to the T-responder cells. This causes a receptor for TCGF to appear on T-responder cells. Only then does TCGF deliver the obligatory second signal that is needed to drive the T-responder cells into proliferation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D010664 Phenylmethylsulfonyl Fluoride An enzyme inhibitor that inactivates IRC-50 arvin, subtilisin, and the fatty acid synthetase complex. Benzenemethanesulfonyl Fluoride,Phenylmethanesulfonyl Fluoride,Fluoride, Benzenemethanesulfonyl,Fluoride, Phenylmethanesulfonyl,Fluoride, Phenylmethylsulfonyl
D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.
