  • 摘要:Concanavalin A (Con A)-treated peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy volunteer donors have been shown to suppress proliferative responses associated with thymus-derived lymphocytes (T-cells). The present investigations demonstrate that peripheral blood lymphocytes incubated with Con A for 48 hr can abrogate pokeweed mitogen-stimulated differentiation of bone-marrow-derived (B) lymphocytes to immunoglobulin-synthesizing and -secreting plasma cells. This effect was manifested when washed Con A-treated peripheral blood lymphocytes were added to pokeweed mitogen-stimulated cocultures containing fresh autologous or allogeneic mononuclear cells, and it did not appear to involve cytotoxicity. Parallel control cultures consisting of mononuclear leukocytes incubated for 48 hr in the absence of Con A also had immunoglobulin suppressor activity in mixing experiments. This effect, however, was most pronounced when preincubated cells were added to fresh autologous pokeweed mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes. Cell mixtures containing peripheral blood lymphocytes demonstrated a spectrum of immunoregulatory effects ranging from suppression to enhancement of pokeweed mitogen-stimulated immunoglobulin synthesis and secretion. Several functional subclasses of suppressor cells that reflect varying levels of specific activity have thus been demonstrated in human beings. Moreover, a degree of genetic identity appears to be required for the expression of "weak" immunoregulatory influences.
