Partial purification and characterization of a human lymphokine which induces antileishmanial activity in mouse macrophages. 1985

Y Buchmuller, and W Y Weiser, and H G Remold

Human blood mononuclear cells stimulated in vitro with concanavalin A secrete a lymphokine which activates mouse macrophages to kill Leishmania enriettii. Supernatants of cells cultivated for 1 day and for 2 days were analyzed for this activity after G-100 gel filtration and isoelectrofocusing. First day antileishmanial activity was found in a MW range of 23,000 with an isoelectric point of 3.6 to 4.0. Second day antileishmanial activity eluted in a peak in the MW range of 23,000 to 65,000 with an isoelectric point of 4.0 to 4.3. This activity could be completely separated from migration-inhibitory factor (MIF) after isoelectrofocusing in first day and in second day supernatants. Antileishmanial activity could be separated from interferon-gamma in first day, but not in second day supernatants.

D007113 Immunity, Innate The capacity of a normal organism to remain unaffected by microorganisms and their toxins. It results from the presence of naturally occurring ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS, constitutional factors such as BODY TEMPERATURE and immediate acting immune cells such as NATURAL KILLER CELLS.

D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007891 Leishmania A genus of flagellate protozoa comprising several species that are pathogenic for humans. Organisms of this genus have an amastigote and a promastigote stage in their life cycles. As a result of enzymatic studies this single genus has been divided into two subgenera: Leishmania leishmania and Leishmania viannia. Species within the Leishmania leishmania subgenus include: L. aethiopica, L. arabica, L. donovani, L. enrietti, L. gerbilli, L. hertigi, L. infantum, L. major, L. mexicana, and L. tropica. The following species are those that compose the Leishmania viannia subgenus: L. braziliensis, L. guyanensis, L. lainsoni, L. naiffi, and L. shawi.

D008263 Macrophage Migration-Inhibitory Factors Proteins released by sensitized LYMPHOCYTES and possibly other cells that inhibit the migration of MACROPHAGES away from the release site.

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.
