pubmed:abstractText
A panel of 55 alloreactive murine T-lymphocyte clones was screened for the production of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), multilineage CSF (multi-CSF), human-active eosinophil CSF (human-active EO-CSF), and interleukin 2 (IL-2) in response to stimulation with the lectin concanavalin A. Many clones were also characterized for cytolytic specificity and expression of the T-cell antigen receptor-associated surface markers Lyt-2 and L3T4, which reflect their specificity for Class I (H-2K, H-2D) or Class II (H-2l, Mls) histocompatibility antigens, respectively. Eighty percent of the clones secreted detectable quantities of at least one of the four factors measured. Of the factor-producing clones, all appeared to secrete GM-CSF and half also secreted multi-CSF. A subpopulation of multi-CSF producers also released human-active EO-CSF. More than half of the factor-producing clones secreted detectable IL-2; whereas the IL-2-producing clones included some that did not secrete multi-CSF, IL-2 production was always associated with concomitant synthesis of GM-CSF. Comparison of the range and quantities of factors secreted by Lyt-2+ and L3T4+ clones indicated that more L3T4+ clones produced measurable titers of the four factors; on average, this group also secreted 10- to 100-fold higher titers of both the hemopoietic regulators and IL-2 than Lyt-2+ clones. Cells of the L3T4+ phenotype would therefore be expected to account for the majority of CSF and IL-2 secretion by polyclonal populations of activated T lymphocytes.
