A factor potentiating antibody formation spontaneously produced by splenic T cells of MRL/MP-lpr/lpr mice. 1987

T Ashiba, and A Hishinuma, and Y Imai, and T Osawa

Splenocytes of MRL/l mice, one of the murine lupus strains, were found to produce a factor(s) which potentiates antibody formation. This factor was produced by splenocytes of young MRL/l mice and cell-sorting experiments by flow cytometry indicated that Thy 1.2+ cells were producing the factor. The approximate molecular weight of the factor was found to be 35,000-45,000 daltons and its pI value was between 3.3 and 3.8. It was also demonstrated that this factor is distinct from interferons, interleukins (IL-1, IL-2, IL-3) and B cell differentiation factors.

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.

D013154	Spleen	An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
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.
