IL-2 and IFN-gamma are two necessary lymphokines in the development of cytolytic T cells
Abstract
A filler cell-free limiting-dilution microculture system has been developed for the expansion and differentiation of a high proportion of single CD4-CD8+ T cells into cytolytic T cell (CTL) clones. The stimulus used was PMA together with the calcium ionophore ionomycin. The growth and differentiation factors were rIL-2, together with either a Con A-stimulated spleen cell supernatant (CAS) or rIFN-gamma. CTL activity was monitored by an autoradiographic 111In-release assay. With CAS and rIL-2 present, 50% of all potential precursors (CTL-p) produced cytolytic clones. Substitution of rIFN-gamma for CAS gave a similar efficiency with up to 42% of CTL-p producing cytolytic clones. rIL-2 alone allowed only a small proportion (6%) of CD4-CD8+ T cells to become cytolytic clones. Addition of rIL-2 and rIFN-gamma at various stages of the culture demonstrated that IL-2 was required throughout, but exogenous IFN-gamma was required only during the early stages. It is concluded that for at least 40% of all CTL-p, the lymphokines IL-2 and IFN-gamma are essential and act in synergy to induce proliferation and differentiation into CTL.
