چکیده

Isolated human T4+ cells proliferate in the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR), whereas isolated T8+ cells do not. However, in the presence of Interleukin 2 or T4+ cells, the T8+ cells demonstrated substantial proliferation. These studies suggest that T8+ cells recognize signals from autologous non-T cells, but require an additional factor for the subsequent proliferative response. Since this stimulus can be provided by T4+ cells, the AMLR appears to constitute an inducer circuit. Different defects in this circuit may be responsible for the common abnormality of the AMLR in different diseases.

Monoclonal antibody analysis of human T lymphocyte subpopulations exhibiting autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction.

In autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), T cells proliferate in response to the stimulation by autologous non-T cells. In the present study, human T cell subpopulations, defined by murine monoclonal antibodies OKT4, OKT8, or 9.3, were examined for their capacity to proliferate in autologous and allogeneic MLR. It was observed that the treatment of responder T cells with OKT4 or 9.3 antibo...

Deficiency of the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.

In this study we show that patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PCB) have a marked deficiency in the ability to generate an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) but have a normal ability to generate an allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). This deficiency is not due to differences in the time-course of the proliferative response or to an altered response to variable numbers of ...

Deficient autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction in Kaposi's sarcoma associated with deficiency of Leu-3+ responder T cells.

Autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) and T cell subsets defined with monoclonal antibodies were analyzed in the peripheral blood of homosexual males with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). All seven patients demonstrated decreased AMLR (P less than 0.001) when compared with age- and sex-matched simultaneously studied controls. These patients also showed decreased proportions of Leu-3+ (helper/induce...

Production of a cytokine with interleukin 3-like properties and cytokine-dependent proliferation in human autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction

The autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) was assayed in a medium containing fresh autologous serum, by using nylon-adherent stimulator cells and nonadherent responder T cells, which were prepared from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the absence of fetal calf serum (FCS) to avoid any sensitization to xenogeneic protein antigens. DNA replication without a background proliferati...

Correlation of disease activity and drug therapy with the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction in rheumatoid arthritis.

The response of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to autologous synovial fluid lymphocytes (SFL) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and Reiter's syndrome was investigated in an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR). SFL were found to be poor responders but strong stimulators of autologous and allogeneic PBL compared with autologous PBL. The plastic-adherent (macrophage) cells from t...
