In this paper we have shown that extensively purified human B lymphocytes respond to IL-4 treatment with a marked production of IL-6. Addition of anti-mu potentiated the effect of IL-4 on IL-6 production. Other cytokines tested like TNF-alpha and-beta, IFN-gamma, IL-1, IL-2, and IL-5 did not induce IL-6 secretion when given to resting B cells. Although B cells generally also produced TNF-alpha and TNF-beta upon stimulation, IL-4 did not induce TNF secretion and seemingly had a specific effect on IL-6 production.
在本文中,我们已表明,经过广泛纯化的人B淋巴细胞在接受白细胞介素-4(IL-4)处理后会显著产生白细胞介素-6(IL-6)。加入抗μ链抗体可增强IL-4对IL-6产生的作用。当给予静止B细胞时,所测试的其他细胞因子,如肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和-β(TNF-β)、干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)、白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、白细胞介素-2(IL-2)和白细胞介素-5(IL-5)均未诱导IL-6分泌。尽管B细胞在受到刺激时通常也会产生TNF-α和TNF-β,但IL-4并未诱导TNF分泌,且似乎对IL-6的产生具有特定作用。
