Interleukin 10 is a potent growth and differentiation factor for activated human B lymphocytes.
Interleukin 10 (IL-10), originally identified as a TH2 helper T-cell product able to inhibit cytokine production by TH1 cells, is highly homologous to BCRF1 (viral IL-10), an open reading frame in the Epstein-Barr virus genome. Here, we show that human and viral IL-10 stimulate DNA replication of B lymphocytes activated either via their antigen receptor or via their CD40 antigen. IL-4 and IL-10...
متن کاملB cell stimulatory factor 1 (interleukin 4) is a potent costimulant for normal resting T lymphocytes
Resting T cells proliferate in response to B cell stimulatory factor 1 (BSF-1; interleukin 4) plus phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). This response is obtained with highly purified T cells and is density independent, suggesting that accessory cells are not required. Both L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cells respond to BSF-1 plus PMA. Although BSF-1 alone does not cause T cell proliferation, it maintains the ...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor-I regulates pro-B cell differentiation.
Progression of B-lymphocyte development in the bone marrow of postnatal mammals is marked by progressive rearrangement and expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy- and light-chain genes. Following productive VHDJH gene rearrangement in the Ig heavy-chain gene complex, mu-heavy chain is the first Ig gene product expressed in cells committed to the B-lymphoid differentiation pathway. Interleukin ...
متن کاملInterleukin 1 can act as a B-cell growth and differentiation factor.
Splenic B lymphocytes specifically reactive to the hapten fluorescein (FLU) were prepared from nonimmune adult mice by affinity fractionation on hapten-gelatin. These FLU-specific B cells were cultured as single cells or in small numbers in 10-microliter wells either in the absence of any feeder, filler, or accessory cell or in the presence of 3T3 fibroblasts acting as filler cells. A selected ...
متن کاملB cell growth factors and B cell differentiation factor from human T hybridomas. Two distinct kinds of B cell growth factor and their synergism in B cell proliferation
Human T hybridomas secreting B cell growth factors (BCGF) and B cell differentiation factor (BCDF) have been established. Hybrid clones 77-A, 94-C, and 98-F secreted BCGF that induced proliferation of anti-IgM-stimulated normal B cells. The culture supernatant from 77-A cells could also maintain continuous proliferation of colony-forming B cells, but the factor from 94-C could not. The addition...
