Soluble immune response suppressor (SIRS), a nonspecific inhibitor of cellular and humoral immune responses and cellular proliferation, reversed IL-1-induced inhibition of autologous rosette formation by thymocytes. In addition, SIRS prevented the IL-1-induced increase in resistance of thymocytes to the lytic action of hydrocortisone. Kinetic experiments showed that the action of SIRS on thymocytes was rapid (less than 15 minutes), although a longer time was required to exert protective effects on thymocytes. SIRS also inhibited the stimulation of thymocyte proliferation induced by Con A and IL-1 a costimulatory assay of IL-1 activity. Moreover, SIRS inhibited the IL-1-stimulated expression of complement receptors on neonatal B cells. The inhibitory effects of SIRS were selectively directed towards IL-1, since SIRS did not interfere with induction of LAK cells by IL-2, and did not reverse inhibition of autologous rosette formation induced by factors other than IL-1, such as IL-4, a proline rich polypeptide and lactoferrin. The results presented in this report demonstrate that SIRS may be a selective inhibitor of IL-1 activity with respect to T and B cells, rendering them unresponsive to IL-1 activation and/or maturation signals.
