In the present study we attempted to clarify the effects of anti-beta 2-microglobulin (a-beta 2m) on lymphocyte activation. Neither a-beta 2m IgG fraction nor F(ab')2 had a mitogenic effect on either highly purified T or B lymphocytes alone, while their mitogenic effect was observed when T and B lymphocytes were appropriately reconstituted. When T lymphocytes were reconstituted with mitomycin C (MMC) treated B lymphocytes, a negligible decrease in the response to a-beta 2m was observed compared to the response of an untreated mixture to a-beta 2m. On the other hand, when B lymphocytes were reconstituted with MMC-treated T lymphocytes, the response was markedly diminished. It was found, moreover, that the response of T lymphocytes separated by a semipermeable membrane from MMC-treated B lymphocytes was not enhanced, while a mixture of T and MMC-treated B lymphocytes in the same chamber showed a marked response. These results lead to the conclusion that the cells responding to a-beta 2m are mainly T lymphocytes whose response is strongly enhanced by B lymphocytes, and that for the mitogenic effect of a-beta 2m direct cell-to-cell interaction between T and B lymphocytes is necessary.
在本研究中,我们试图阐明抗β2-微球蛋白(a-β2m)对淋巴细胞激活的影响。单独的a-β2m IgG组分或F(ab')2对高度纯化的T淋巴细胞或B淋巴细胞均无促有丝分裂作用,而当T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞适当重组时,可观察到它们的促有丝分裂作用。当用丝裂霉素C(MMC)处理的B淋巴细胞重组T淋巴细胞时,与未处理混合物对a-β2m的反应相比,观察到对a-β2m的反应有可忽略不计的降低。另一方面,当用MMC处理的T淋巴细胞重组B淋巴细胞时,反应明显减弱。此外,发现通过半透膜与MMC处理的B淋巴细胞分离的T淋巴细胞的反应未增强,而在同一腔室中T淋巴细胞与MMC处理的B淋巴细胞的混合物显示出明显的反应。这些结果得出结论,对a-β2m有反应的细胞主要是T淋巴细胞,其反应被B淋巴细胞强烈增强,并且对于a-β2m的促有丝分裂作用,T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞之间的直接细胞间相互作用是必要的。
