In this study, fibronectin synergized with anti-CD3 antibody to promote CD4 cell proliferation in a serum-free culture system. The cell-adhesive domain plus additional regions of the fibronectin molecule are involved in this synergy. Anti4B4(CDw29) antibody blocked the activation of CD4 cells in this system. Furthermore, it is the VLA-5 protein within the set of molecules recognized by anti-4B4 that serves as a fibronectin receptor on the CD4 lymphocytes. The VLA-5 fibronectin receptor was mainly expressed on CD4+ CD45R-CDw29+ cells and may in part contribute to the unique function of these cells.
在本研究中,纤连蛋白与抗CD3抗体协同作用,在无血清培养系统中促进CD4细胞增殖。纤连蛋白分子的细胞黏附结构域及其他区域参与了这种协同作用。抗4B4(CDw29)抗体阻断了该系统中CD4细胞的活化。此外,抗4B4识别的分子组中的VLA-5蛋白作为CD4淋巴细胞上的纤连蛋白受体。VLA-5纤连蛋白受体主要表达于CD4+ CD45R-CDw29+细胞,可能部分促成了这些细胞的独特功能。
