  • Title: The role of monocytes in the induction and regulation of IFN-gamma production by lectin-activated human T lymphocytes.
    Author: Pryjma J, Ernst M, Fetting R, Woloszyn M, Zembala M, Flad HD.
    Journal: Eur Cytokine Netw; 1991; 2(4):273-9. PubMed ID: 1756232.
    Abstract:
    The data presented show that the production of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) by pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-activated T lymphocytes requires monocytes and that the amount of lymphokine produced depends on the number of monocytes present in the culture. Accessory function of monocytes was independent from their ability to secrete IL-1 but required cell-cell contact, since blocking of adhesion molecules reduced the IFN-gamma production. Furthermore, production of IFN by lectin-preactivated T lymphocytes could not be triggered by IL-2 but also required monocyte-T cell interaction.
