چکیده

Peripheral blood lymphocytes cultured in recombinant interleukin 2 during 3 to 5 days (short-term cultures) develop the ability to lyse natural killer-resistant tumor lines and fresh tumor cells, i.e., express lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) function. Phenotypic analysis has shown these cells to be natural killer cells, i.e., CD16+ and/or Leu 19+ cells. CD3+,CD16- T-cells, instead, develop very low LAK function in these cultures. We recently reported the development of long-term (up to 21 days) cultured cells with LAK activity by stimulation with OKT3 + interleukin 2(IL2). These culture conditions repeatedly resulted in a several hundred-fold expansion in cell number. Specific LAK activity on Day 14 of culture was comparable to that of 3-day LAK cultures and could be further enhanced by the addition of interleukin 1 beta, beta-, or gamma-interferon. Total LAK activity was greatly increased in OKT3 + IL2 cultures over that found in short-term cultures. Isolation of effectors mediating LAK function in long-term cultures stimulated with OKT3 + IL2 showed that both CD3+,CD16- cells and CD16+,CD3- cells tested on Day 14 of culture expressed equivalent levels of LAK activity as shown by lysis of natural killer-resistant targets, HL60 and Daudi. Further dissection of the subpopulations developing LAK activity demonstrated that, in addition to CD16+,CD3- cells, CD3+, CD4-,CD8- cells and Leu 19+,CD3-,CD16- cells also developed high LAK activity in long-term cultures with OKT3 + IL2. Further, long-term culture with OKT3 + IL2 induced increases in the numbers not only of CD3+,CD4-,CD8- cells but also of CD16+,CD3- and Leu 19+,CD3-,CD16- cells. Although there is a significant increase in the number of CD3+,CD8+ cells, neither these, nor the CD3+,CD4+ cells, mediate LAK activity to the same extent as the populations mentioned above.

Assay of lymphokine-activated killer activity generated from bone marrow cells of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

We recently reported that low molecular weight B-cell growth factor (LMW-BCGF) plus recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) synergistically induced lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity from the bone marrow (BM) cells of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The kinetics of cell growth, antigenic phenotype, and lytic activity of the generated effector cells were further analyzed in t...
