Abstract

Recently, we described the isolation through fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) of low autofluorescent (LAF) cells from human bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). These LAF cells displayed an immunophenotype comparable with that of dendritic cells (DC), and showed a high potency to stimulate naive T cells. In the study reported here we investigated the capability of LAF cells to produce interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and the role of these cytokines in allogeneic T-cell stimulation by LAF cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated LAF cells released biologically active IL-1, IL-6, and TNF, and also showed intracellular immunoreactivity for IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha. A neutralizing antibody against IL-1 slightly but statistically significantly (P < 0.05, Wilcoxon's test) inhibited the ability of the LAF cells to stimulate allogeneic T-cell proliferation (89% of stimulation in the absence of the antibody). Neutralizing antibodies against IL-6 and TNF-alpha had no effect. An antibody to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) also interfered with the accessory function of the LAF cells (79% of stimulation in the absence of the antibody, P < 0.05). We also investigated whet...Continue Reading
