T lymphocyte-mediated bone marrow failure is a recently recognized clinical disorder, but the T lymphocyte subsets responsible for mediating the inhibitory effect have not been identified. We obtained T lymphocytes from the bone marrow of two patients with T lymphocyte-mediated granulopoietic failure, exposed them to monoclonal antibodies (OKT3, OKT4, and OKT8) in cytotoxicity assays, then recombined the treated T cells with autologous T-depleted marrow cells in clonal assays for granulocyte/macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM). Treatment of T cells with OKT3 and OKT8 abrogated their granulopoietic inhibitory effect but treatment with OKT4 did not. Therefore, in these two patients, the lymphocytes that played a role in the inhibition of granulopoiesis were of the cytotoxic/suppressor subset.
T淋巴细胞介导的骨髓衰竭是一种最近才被认识的临床病症,但介导抑制作用的T淋巴细胞亚群尚未明确。我们从两名患有T淋巴细胞介导的粒细胞生成衰竭患者的骨髓中获取T淋巴细胞,在细胞毒性试验中将它们暴露于单克隆抗体(OKT3、OKT4和OKT8),然后在粒细胞/巨噬细胞祖细胞(CFU-GM)的克隆试验中,将经处理的T细胞与自体去除T细胞的骨髓细胞重新组合。用OKT3和OKT8处理T细胞消除了它们的粒细胞生成抑制作用,但用OKT4处理则没有。因此,在这两名患者中,对粒细胞生成起抑制作用的淋巴细胞属于细胞毒性/抑制性子集。
