In vitro proliferation of macrophage depleted human peripheral blood lymphocytes. 1979

A J Treves, and V Barak, and Z Fuks

The incorporation of thymidine by normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes was tested in vitro following various culture conditions. A significant increase of thymidine uptake was observed in cultures depleted of plastic adherent, nylon wook adherent, or phagocytic cells. This proliferative activity occurred in the presence of various sera but was not due to a blastogenic response to a foreign protein, since it was also observed when autologous plasma was the only source of protein in the culture medium. The similarities and differences between this 'spontaneous' proliferative phenomenon and other blastogenic responses which are regulated by macrophages are discussed.

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.

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.
