Some interleukin-3 dependent mast-cell lines also respond to interleukin-2. 1985

H S Warren, and J Hargreaves, and A J Hapel

The haemopoietic stem cell line 32D cl-23 is alcian blue positive, Lyt 1+, and requires a growth factor, interleukin-3 (IL-3). This cell has now been shown to respond to interleukin-2 (IL-2). Antibodies directed against the murine interleukin-2 receptor blocked 3H-thymidine incorporation by 32D cl-23 cells grown in interleukin-2, but had no effect on 32D cl-23 in interleukin-3. Thus the receptor for interleukin-2 on 32D cl-23 cells may be similar to the interleukin-2 receptor on murine T cells. Similar results were obtained using a different basophil cell line 32D cl-5, but not using another basophil cell line, Rotundi, or factor dependent musocal type mast cells (P cells) derived from spleen.

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.

D008222	Lymphokines	Soluble protein factors generated by activated lymphocytes that affect other cells, primarily those involved in cellular immunity.	Lymphocyte Mediators,Mediators, Lymphocyte
D008407	Mast Cells	Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR.	Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
