Human And Mouse

Human and mouse lymphoid cells, stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or lipopolysaccharide W (LPS), release supernatant factor(s) which are mitogenic for mouse thymocytes and which potentiate their responses to PHA or concanavalin A (Con A), The term LAF (lymphocyte-activating factor) is proposed for this activity. LAF not only enhances the mitotic responses of the less dense thymus subpopulations (A, B, and C) separable on discontinuous bovine serum albumin (BSA) gradients but also gives substantial responses in the otherwise inert cells of the denser fractions D and P. LAF does not exert a potentiating stimulatory effect on the responses of unfractionated mouse spleen cells, but does act synergistically with PHA on nonadherent spleen cells and on spleen cells of mice of several strains 5 days after irradiation and injection of thymocytes. Similarly LAF, which has no visible effect on unfractionated human peripheral blood cells, strongly potentiates the PHA response of column-purified lymphocytes, when these are cultured at low concentration. We conclude that LAF stimulates both central and peripheral T lymphocytes and enhances their responses to other stimulants.
