The effects of human transferrin (Tf) on lymphokine (IL-2)-activated killer (LAK) induction from blood lymphocytes of healthy donors was examined. LAK cells were induced by 6-day incubation in medium with recombinant human IL-2 of lymphocytes, and their cytotoxic activity was assessed by measuring 51Cr release from NK-resistant Daudi cells. Tf alone did not induce any LAK activity, but in combination with IL-2, it augmented LAK induction dose- and time-dependently. This augmenting effect was completely abolished by pretreatment with anti-Tf antiserum. Tf augmented the proliferative response of lymphocytes to IL-2 and their expressions of receptors for IL-2 and Tf. CD8+ T cells were isolated from purified blood lymphocytes using antibody-bound magnetic beads. Addition of Tf to cultures of CD8+ cells resulted in significant augmentation of killer cell induction and perforin (PFP) production after 4 days stimulation with IL-2. These results indicate that Tf is important in generation of IL-2-inducible killer properties and PFP activity of human CD8+ T cells.
研究了人转铁蛋白(Tf)对健康供体血液淋巴细胞诱导淋巴因子(IL-2)激活的杀伤细胞(LAK)的影响。LAK细胞通过在含有重组人IL-2的培养基中培养淋巴细胞6天诱导产生,其细胞毒性活性通过测量NK抗性Daudi细胞的51Cr释放来评估。单独的Tf不诱导任何LAK活性,但与IL-2联合使用时,它以剂量和时间依赖性方式增强LAK诱导。用抗Tf抗血清预处理可完全消除这种增强作用。Tf增强了淋巴细胞对IL-2的增殖反应及其IL-2和Tf受体的表达。使用抗体结合的磁珠从纯化的血液淋巴细胞中分离出CD8 + T细胞。在IL-2刺激4天后,向CD8 +细胞培养物中添加Tf导致杀伤细胞诱导和穿孔素(PFP)产生显著增强。这些结果表明,Tf在人CD8 + T细胞的IL-2诱导杀伤特性和PFP活性的产生中起重要作用。
