Inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation by fluid-phase C3b as influenced by macrophages. 1987

C K Ogle, and J D Ogle, and C Johnson, and L Keynton, and J W Alexander

The effect of fluid-phase C3b on mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation in the presence and absence of macrophages was studied. In general, C3b inhibited the proliferation of lymphocytes when monocytes (macrophages) were present. The degree of inhibition by C3b was different for B and T lymphocytes and varied for different subpopulations of lymphocyte classes. In the absence of monocytes (macrophages), there was insignificant inhibition by C3b of lymphocyte proliferation, and thus the observed inhibition appeared to be due to the effect of C3b on the monocytes/macrophages present in the mixed lymphocyte preparations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D003179 Complement C3b The larger fragment generated from the cleavage of COMPLEMENT C3 by C3 CONVERTASE. It is a constituent of the ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE (C3bBb), and COMPLEMENT C5 CONVERTASES in both the classical (C4b2a3b) and the alternative (C3bBb3b) pathway. C3b participates in IMMUNE ADHERENCE REACTION and enhances PHAGOCYTOSIS. It can be inactivated (iC3b) or cleaved by various proteases to yield fragments such as COMPLEMENT C3C; COMPLEMENT C3D; C3e; C3f; and C3g.
