  • Title: Leukocyte adherence inhibition response to murine sarcoma virus-induced tumors. II. Requirement for T-cell subpopulations and macrophages.
    Author: Sarlo KT, Mortensen RF.
    Journal: Cell Immunol; 1983 Jul 15; 79(2):211-9. PubMed ID: 6307531.
    Abstract:
    Murine sarcoma virus (MSV)-immune T cells from C57BL/6 mice respond to intact RBL-5 tumor cells with the production of leukocyte adherence inhibition factor (LAIF), which mediates an adherence inhibition response of macrophages. LAIF is elaborated by isolated Lyt-2+ cells incubated with RBL-5 cells, whereas Lyt-1+ cells elaborate a substance that enhances macrophage adherence. Spleen macrophages or peritoneal exudate macrophages from MSV-immune mice when present at concentrations of 0.1% changed the response of Lyt-1+ cells from the formation of an adherence enhancing factor to the formation of an adherence inhibiting factor. Migration inhibition factor (MIF) was formed by Lyt-1+ cells, but not by Lyt-2+ cells under identical culture conditions. Addition of either spleen macrophages from mice with progressively growing tumors or tumor-infiltrating macrophages suppressed LAIF formation by both Lyt-1+ and Lyt-2+ cells. Tumor-infiltrating macrophages elicited an adherence enhancing factor from Lyt-2+ cells when present at high concentrations. The results suggest that the extent of macrophage adherence in vitro is the outcome of an interaction of macrophages with mediators that have opposing effects.
