In the human model, requirements for the primary onset of IFN-gamma and IL-4 production in maturing T helper lymphocytes were compared. Stimulation of freshly isolated CD4+CD45RA+ naive Th cells with immobilized CD3 mAb in the presence of exogenous IL-2 resulted in the proliferative response of this subset, which was equal to or higher than CD4+CD45R0+ memory Th cells. Throughout the first 6 days after this mode of stimulation, naive Th cells did not secrete IL-4 and produced only small amounts of IFN-gamma, whereas high amounts of both lymphokines were secreted by stimulated autologous memory Th cells. Under these conditions, naive Th cells acquired the CD45RA-CD45R0+ memory phenotype. After restimulation, such in vitro-generated CD45R0+ cells produced high amounts of IFN-gamma but, despite the full phenotype conversion, they produced only trace amounts of IL-4. In contrast, when the primary stimulation and the expansion of cells proceeded in the presence of IL-1 beta or CD28 mAb, both IFN-gamma and IL-4 were produced after restimulation, in similar amounts compared with those produced by memory Th cells. The effect of IL-1 beta and CD28 signaling could not be obtained by the administration of exogenous IL-4 nor could the onset of IL-4 production be prevented by the presence of a neutralizing anti-IL-4 Ab in primary cultures. These data show that the development of human IL-4-producing Th cells can proceed in the absence of any pre-existing source of IL-4 and can be driven solely by the APC-related signals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007156 Immunologic Memory The altered state of immunologic responsiveness resulting from initial contact with antigen, which enables the individual to produce antibodies more rapidly and in greater quantity in response to secondary antigenic stimulus. Immune Memory,Immunological Memory,Memory, Immunologic,Immune Memories,Immunologic Memories,Immunological Memories,Memory, Immune,Memory, Immunological
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

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.

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D000938 Antigen-Presenting Cells A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.

D015847 Interleukin-4 A soluble factor produced by activated T-LYMPHOCYTES that induces the expression of MHC CLASS II GENES and FC RECEPTORS on B-LYMPHOCYTES and causes their proliferation and differentiation. It also acts on T-lymphocytes, MAST CELLS, and several other hematopoietic lineage cells.
