Interferon (IFN)-gamma is a potent immunoregulatory protein secreted by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and by natural killer cells. Here, we show that IFN-gamma is specifically displayed at a low concentration on the cell surface of those activated T cells from mouse and man which express IFN-gamma. It is transiently expressed on the cell surface with kinetics similar to those of intracellular IFN-gamma expression. Detectable surface IFN-gamma is not expressed by activated T helper (Th) cells producing other cytokines but which do not express IFN-gamma. Thus, surface IFN-gamma is the first available marker for live T lymphocytes expressing IFN-gamma, e.g. Th1 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
