pubmed:abstractText
The effect of a supernatant (SN-A) obtained from PMA-stimulated IL-2 producing EL-4 cells on cytotoxic cell induction in thymocyte and splenocyte cultures was evaluated. SN-A, but not recombinant IL-2 alone, induced cytotoxic cell differentiation in thymus cell cultures, thus indicating that factors distinct from IL-2 are required for effector cell generation. INF-gamma takes part in the process, and Ia+ accessory cell presence is also strictly required in thymus cultures for lymphokine-induced cytotoxic cell generation. Cytotoxic activity in thymocyte cultures was due only to Thy 1+ Lyt 2+ cells having a broad spectrum of target cell specificity, while in spleen cell cultures an effector population with NK activity was also generated.
