A non-specific immunoenhancing factor from leukemia owl monkey peripheral T lymphocytes has been purified and partially characterized. Owl monkey enhancing factor, OMEF, is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 39,000 and an isoelectric point of pH 6.5. It acts at nanogram levels on day 2 of the in vitro immune response to enhance the number of plaque-forming cells produced to sheep red blood cells in a murine assay system but has no effect when added on day 0 to this system but has no effect when added on day 0 to this system. Antibodies to the purified factor have been produced and binding studies show that OMEF cross-reacts with other antisera raised to an enhancing factor produced by a mixture of human allogeneic lymphocytes but shows no cross-reactivity to a murine enhancing factor.
一种来自白血病夜猴外周血T淋巴细胞的非特异性免疫增强因子已被纯化并进行了部分特性鉴定。夜猴增强因子(OMEF)是一种糖蛋白,分子量为39000,等电点为pH 6.5。在体外免疫反应的第2天,它以纳克水平起作用,可增强小鼠检测系统中针对绵羊红细胞产生的空斑形成细胞的数量,但在第0天添加到该系统时则无作用。已制备了针对该纯化因子的抗体,结合研究表明,OMEF与针对人同种异体淋巴细胞混合物产生的增强因子所制备的其他抗血清发生交叉反应,但与小鼠增强因子无交叉反应。
