Induction of human T lymphocyte motility by interleukin 2. 1985

Interleukin 2 (IL 2) is known to have multiple immunoenhancing activities that are related to its ability to promote the proliferation and the expression of effector functions of human T lymphocytes. We investigated the potential of IL 2 to induce human T lymphocyte migration. Unstimulated T cells did not respond to IL 2, but T cells exposed to dextran or phytohemagglutinin did respond to IL 2 concentrations from 0.01 to 10.0 U/ml, with significantly increased migration. This activity could be specifically blocked with anti-Tac antibody. Analysis of T lymphocyte subsets revealed that OKT4+ but not OKT8+ lymphocytes responded to IL 2 in the chemotaxis assay. Checkerboard analysis demonstrated that the IL 2-induced chemoattractant activity was predominantly chemotactic rather than chemokinetic in nature. The activity of IL 2 was compared with that of another chemoattractant lymphokine, lymphocyte chemoattractant factor, which was found to stimulate lymphocyte migration without prior exposure to mitogen, and which was not inhibited by anti-Tac. Our data suggest that the lymphocyte migratory response to IL 2 is under the control of the inducible receptor recognized by anti-Tac in a manner similar to the proliferative response to IL 2, but differs from proliferation in its OKT4+ cell specificity.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

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.

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
