(17) CESS, L4 and BALM4 all increased IgG production in response to partially purified B cell growth factor (Cellular Products, Inc., Sera-Lab., Crawley Down, GB) and B cell differentiation factor-containing supernatant from the T24 bladder carcinoma cell line.
(18) Studies of Ebstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell lines showed that IFN-alpha caused a similar effect on the CESS line as on peripheral blood B cells, with low dose enhancement and high dose suppression of Ig production.
(19) A low-frequency suppressor-cell population in normal peripheral blood inhibits the B-cell CESS response to IL-6, following pokeweed mitogen stimulation.
(20) When SPL were cultured with OK-432 for 24 h in serum-free T medium, the cell-free supernatant induced production of IgM in the SKW6.CL-4 and IgG in the CESS human B cell line, while no such activity was detected in unstimulated SPL culture.
