Upon primary activation, T helper (Th) cell populations express different cytokines transiently and with different kinetics. Stimulation of naive murine splenic Th cells with the bacterial superantigen Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) in vitro results in expression of IL-2, IFN-gamma and IL-10 with fast, intermediate and slow kinetics, respectively. This first report of a functional analysis of cells separated alive according to cytokine expression shows that these cytokines are not produced by different Th cell subpopulations, but can be expressed sequentially by individual Th cells. Th cells, activated with SEB for 1 day and isolated according to expression of IL-2, using the cellular affinity matrix technology, upon continued stimulation with SEB later secrete most of the IFN-gamma and IL-10. Likewise, after 2 days of SEB culture, cells expressing IFN-gamma, separated according to specific surface-associated IFN-gamma as detected by magnetofluorescent liposomes, 1 day later secrete IL-10. Thus, individual Th1 cells can contribute to the control of their own IFN-gamma expression by sequential expression of first IL-2, supporting their proliferation, and later IL-10, down-regulating the production of IFN-gamma-inducing monokines and limiting the pro-inflammatory effects of IFN-gamma.

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.

D007399 Interphase The interval between two successive CELL DIVISIONS during which the CHROMOSOMES are not individually distinguishable. It is composed of the G phases (G1 PHASE; G0 PHASE; G2 PHASE) and S PHASE (when DNA replication occurs). Interphases
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.
