Demonstration of platelet electrophoretic mobility slowing factor (PSF) in supernatants of human lymphocyte cultures stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). 1977

E Jirillo, and D Colucci, and A de Santis, and I Munno, and D Fumarola

It has been demonstrated that human peripheral lymphocytes, stimulated with PHA, form or release a factor that slows platelet electrophoretic mobility (PEM). The factor is chromatographed on Ultrogel AC a 44, has a molecular weight of approximately 45,000, is stable on heating at 56 degrees C for 30 min, but is inactivated by heating at 80 degrees C for 10 min. In addition, it is distinct from leukocyte inhibiting factor, which elutes in the range of BSA (mol. wt. 69,000). The authors conclude, in accordance with previous investigations, that cellular immunity is involved in thrombotic processes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D008222 Lymphokines Soluble protein factors generated by activated lymphocytes that affect other cells, primarily those involved in cellular immunity. Lymphocyte Mediators,Mediators, Lymphocyte

D002464 Cell Migration Inhibition Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.
