Human eosinophils express functional interleukin 2 receptors.
Because T cell-derived cytokines may affect the functioning of eosinophils, we have investigated the capacity of human eosinophils to respond to IL-2. IL-2 was a potent chemoattractant with ED50 of 10(-12) M with eosinophils from all normal and eosinophilic donors tested. The monoclonal antibodies anti-Tac and TU27 against p55 (Tac/CD25) and p75 receptor subunits, respectively, each inhibited I...
متن کاملHuman basophils express interleukin-4 receptors.
Interleukin-4 (IL-4), a multipotential lymphokine reputed to play an important role in the regulation of immune responses, interacts with a variety of hemopoietic target cells through specific cell surface membrane receptors. The present study was designed to investigate whether human basophils express IL-4 binding sites. For this purpose, basophils were enriched to homogeneity (93% and 98% pur...
متن کاملEosinophils Express a Functional Receptor for Interferon
Recent reports describe the beneficial use of alpha interferon (IFNa) for the treatment of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) unresponsive to conventional therapy. A clinical improvement associated with a rapid decrease of peripheral blood eosinophilia suggested possible direct effects of IFNa on eosinophils through the presence of lFNa receptors (IFNaR). Reverse transcriptase-polymera...
متن کاملHuman B cells express two types of interleukin-1 receptors.
Several reports demonstrate that interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), although distantly related at the primary sequence level, bind to the same receptor. This raises the question of what separation, if any, there might be between their biologic activities. Receptor binding assays and cross-competition studies in three Epstein Barr virus (EBV) positive cell lines...
متن کاملLeukemic B-cell precursors constitutively express functional receptors for human interleukin-1.
This study analyzes the expression of functional interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors on leukemic B-cell precursors (BCPs) from B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL) patients. We first investigated the specific binding of 125I-labeled recombinant IL-1 (125I-rIL-1) (4 x 10(17) cpm/mol) to fresh marrow blasts from 11 BCP ALL patients. In five of 11 cases, the binding of 125I-rIL-1 was...
