Abstract

In this study, a B cell growth stimulatory factor, constitutively secreted by a human CD4+ T cell hybridoma clone, MP6, has been purified and characterized. Serum-free 24 h culture media from MP6 cells were collected, concentrated by ultrafiltration and separated by gel chromatography. Fractions were analyzed for stimulatory activity using [3H]thymidine incorporation in normal and leukemic (B-CLL) B cells as target cells. Activity was present in a 12 kDa protein peak. Upon storage this lost activity indicating that the factor was sensitive to air oxidation, a well-known property of mammalian thioredoxins (Trxs). Treatment of the inactive fraction with dithiothreitol restored full activity. When culture medium was analyzed with a radioimmunoassay for human placenta Trx, the MP6 clone was shown to release 30-50 ng/ml per million cells during 24 h. The B cell stimulatory activity of the MP6 medium was removed by Sepharose-bound anti-human placenta Trx IgG and activity was recovered by elution from the antibodies. Furthermore, MP6 medium showed Trx activity with NADPH and Trx reductase using an insulin disulfide reduction assay. Starting from 5 l of serum-free MP6 conditioned medium, the Trx was purified approximately 100,000-fold....Continue Reading
