T cells from autoimmune "IL 2-defective" MRL-lpr/lpr mice continue to grow in vitro and produce IL 2 constitutively. 1984

Y J Rosenberg, and A D Steinberg, and T J Santoro

MRL-lpr/lpr mice and other autoimmune strains that bear the lpr gene develop a profound lymphadenopathy characterized by an expansion of a unique dull Lyt-1+2- T cell population. Because fresh splenic and lymph node T cells from such mice stimulated Con A in vitro are extremely defective in IL 2 production and proliferation, T cell lines derived from MRL-lpr/lpr spleens were established and maintained for several months, and were analyzed for their factor production to define their growth requirements. The results indicate that cultivation in vitro leads to constitutive production of IL 2 and the capacity to respond to growth factors, thereby facilitating the continuous proliferation of T cells bearing the dull Lyt-1+2- phenotype in vitro in the absence of exogenous antigen or mitogen. These studies indicate that MRL-lpr/lpr T cells have the ability to produce IL 2 and to respond to IL 2 with long-term proliferation. In addition, the impaired responsiveness to Con A of fresh MRL-lpr/lpr lymph node T cells was found to be quite transitory, because even short-term culture allowed MRL lpr/lpr T cells to respond normally.

D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011971 Receptors, Immunologic Cell surface molecules on cells of the immune system that specifically bind surface molecules or messenger molecules and trigger changes in the behavior of cells. Although these receptors were first identified in the immune system, many have important functions elsewhere.

D003208 Concanavalin A A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
