(15) Supernatants (Sups) of culture fluids of ATL cells from 4 patients and those of 2 T-cell lines were added at various concentrations to the CESS cells.
(16) IL-6 was found 1 degree to stimulate immunoglobulin A production by the CESS B cell line up to 19 fold without being affected by the presence of IL-1 beta and 2 degrees to stimulate murine thymocytes proliferation up to 2-4 fold, with an increase up to 60-fold in costimulation with either IL-1 alpha or beta.
(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.
