Murine peritoneal macrophages, parabiotically co-cultured with combinations of in vitro H-2 sensitized thymus-derived lymphocytes obtained from drug-pretreated mice, possessed an increased cytotoxicity against alloantibody-coated target cells. This heightened activity appeared to be accentuated by and dependent on T-cell synergy. After 5 days of in vitro allosensitization at 37 degrees C, cortisone-resistant thymocytes allosensitized in combination with cyclophosphamide-pretreated splenic T cells released molecules that produced strong antibody-dependent macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). This enhanced ADCC correlated with increased macrophage rosetting with IgG-sensitized erythrocytes. These heightened activities resulted from soluble mediators released by the activated T cells which diffused across a 0.22-microns Millipore filter and were not dependent on lymphocyte-macrophage contact. Evidence that these molecules originated from the highly enriched T-cell populations and were not synthesized de novo by macrophages was supported by results of pretreatment with protein and RNA synthesis inhibitors. Evidence that soluble Fc receptors released from the alloactivated T cells were responsible for the increased macrophage EA binding and ADCC was obtained in affinity chromatography experiments in which activity could be depleted by passage over a Sepharose-Fc-coupled column and recovered in the column eluate.
