We have isolated the human cDNA homologue of a mouse helper T-cell-specific cDNA sequence, called P600, from an activated human T-cell cDNA library. The human cDNA encodes a secreted, mainly unglycosylated, protein with a relative molecular mass of approximately 10,000. We show that the human and mouse proteins cause extensive morphological changes to human monocytes with an associated up-regulation of major histocompatibility complex class II antigens and the low-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin E (Fc epsilon RII or CD23). In addition, they stimulate proliferation of human B cells that have been activated by anti-IgM antibodies or by anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies presented by a mouse Ltk- cell line transfected with CDw32. Furthermore, the human protein induced considerable levels of IgM and IgG, but no IgA production, in cultures in which highly purified human surface IgD+ or total B cells were cocultured with an activated CD4+ T-cell clone. Based on these findings, we propose that this immunoregulatory protein be designated interleukin 13.

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.
