Lymphocyte blastogenesis and interferon production in adult human leukocyte cultures stimulated with cytomegalovirus antigens.

چکیده
Lymphocyte blastogenesis and interferon production were measured in adult human leukocyte cultures stimulated with purified or crude cytomegalovirus antigens. Leukocytes from seropositive adults underwent blastogenesis when stimulated with purified or crude Towne strain antigen, whereas neither antigen stimulated blastogenesis in cultures from seronegative donors. The concentrations of antigens yielding maximal blastogenesis varied among the individuals tested. When cultures from seropositive individuals were stimulated with antigens prepared from three different CMV strains--AD-169, Towne, and Davis--comparable levels of blastogenesis were detected. Type 1 interferon was detected in supernatants of cultures stimulated with crude antigens regardless of the immune status of the donor. In contrast, when purified antigen was used as the stimulant, only cultures obtained from seropositive individuals produced detectable levels of interferon, which appeared to be predominantly type 2 or immune interferon.

Replication of poliovirus in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes.
Poliovirus replication has been studied in human lymphocytes during the course of blastogenesis under phytohemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation. Enhancement of virus replication in PHA-stimulated leukocyte cultures was due to an increase in number of virus-producing cells. Virus yield was approximately 10 plaque-forming units (PFU) per producing cell, both in stimulated and in nonstimulated cultures...
متن کاملTHE PRODUCTION OF MURINE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MAb) DIRECTED AGAINST HUMAN T- LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS
The production of murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) has not yet been reported in Iran. The present work describes for the first time the generation of several murine hybridoma clones secreting MAbs directed against human leukocyte surface antigens. The secreted antibodies by hybridoma clones have been screened on different lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. Results indicated that of seven h...
متن کاملMethods for obtaining purified lymphocytes, glass-adherent mononuclear cells, and a population containing both cell types from human peripheral blood.
Methods are presented for obtaining simultaneously or separately two populations of cells from human peripheral blood, lymphocytes and monocytes, both of which are required to obtain blastogenesis and DNA synthesis in human leukocyte cultures. A simple 5-mm centrifugation of heparinized blood yields a mononuclear leukocyte culture fluid containing 70-90#{176}/olymphocytes with few granulocytes ...

متن کاملInterferon induction in human leukocytes after in vitro exposure to cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus.
Interferon (IFN) was produced after exposure of human mononuclear leukocytes and bone marrow cells to infectious or noninfectious cytomegalovirus (CMV) in vitro. The IFN was generated mainly by non-B lymphocytes. Both alpha- and gamma-type IFN could be demonstrated. CMV antigens were usually not demonstrable in CMV-exposed leukocytes. Addition of anti-IFN antibodies did not induce CMV antigens....
