Natural cytotoxic activity of human lymphocytes was significantly enhanced by incubation with LTA4, LTB4 or LTD4. In contrast, stereoisomers of LTB4 as well as 5-HETE and 12-HETE were not active. These findings suggest that leukotrienes may play an important role in host defense mechanisms.
人淋巴细胞与白三烯A4(LTA4)、白三烯B4(LTB4)或白三烯D4(LTD4)孵育后,其天然细胞毒性活性显著增强。相比之下,LTB4的立体异构体以及5-羟基二十碳四烯酸(5-HETE)和12-羟基二十碳四烯酸(12-HETE)则无活性。这些发现表明,白三烯可能在宿主防御机制中发挥重要作用。
