Measurement of lymphokine receptors.

چکیده
One of the most widely studied lymphokine systems is the T lymphocyte growth factor interleukin 2 (IL-2). This unit describes two basic methods for the quantitation and biochemical characterization of IL-2 receptors. The first method employs the radioreceptor assay. Support protocols to this technique describe quantification of data via calculations of association and dissociation rates and the Scatchard plot analysis. The second approach detects cell-surface lymphokine receptors by covalently cross-linking IL-2 to its receptor. This method employs the chemical disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) to achieve irreversible cross-linking of IL-2 to IL-2R.

Augmentation of macrophage complement receptor function in vitro. IV. The lymphokine that activates macrophage C3 receptors for phagocytosis binds to a fucose-bearing glycoprotein on the macrophage plasma membrane
Macrophage receptors for the third component of complement (C3) are normally immobilized and unable to diffuse within the cell's plasma membrane and, even though they promote avid particle binding, are unable to promote phagocytosis of C3-coated particles. We have previously identified a lymphokine that activates macrophage C3 receptors for phagocytosis and have found that it acts by freeing th...
متن کاملLymphokine inducing "terminal differentiation" of the human monoblast leukemia line U937: a role for gamma interferon.
The human monoblast leukemia line, U937, is growth-inhibited and induced to develop markers of mature monocytes by lymphokine preparations. Lymphokine is cytostatic and induces expression of Fc receptors in U937 and in myelomonocytic leukemic lines RC-2A and KG-1, but does not have these effects on T- and B-lymphocytic lines. In addition to previously described properties, including complement ...
متن کاملLymphokine profile in bone marrow transplant recipients.
Immune reconstitution after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) recapitulates immune ontogeny. At birth there is an imbalance in lymphokine production, with decreased production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) compared with interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-2. We investigated whether a similar imbalance in lymphokine production occurs in BMT recipients within 6 months after transplantation. Our results...
متن کاملAugmentation of macrophage complement receptor function in vitro. III. C3b receptors that promote phagocytosis migrate within the plane of the macrophage plasma membrane
We have previously reported that treatment with a unique lymphokine enables resident mouse peritoneal macrophages to phagocytize via their complement receptors and we have presented evidence that the lymphokine act by enabling complement receptor engagement by C3b ligands to generate a phagocytic signal, thereby linking the cell surface binding event with the intracellular phagocytic machinery....
متن کاملEffects of ln Vivo Administration of Immune Complexes and Aggregates on the Fc Receptor and C 3 Receptor Function of Macrophages from Euthymic and Athymic Mice Mice
The C3 receptors of most phagocytic cells promote avid binding of particles coated with C3 but do not promote their ingestion (1-10). We have previously (7-12) described a unique lymphokine that activates the C3 receptors of mouse peritoneal macrophages for phagocytosis. Generation of the lymphokine in vitro requires an unusual series of cellular interactions. Macrophages must first phagocytize...
