Abstract

In this study, we examined whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) or 16,16-dimethyl prostaglandin E2 (dmPGE2)-pretreatment of stimulator spleen cells from C57BL6 (B6) mice affects effector function of responder T-lymphocyte from C3H/HeJ mice. Stimulation of B6-derived splenic mononuclear cells (SMNCs) with LPS (10 micrograms/ml) prior to their utilization as stimulator cells in a mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) resulted in an increase in responder T-lymphocyte proliferation compared to utilization of unstimulated SMNC (P < 0.05). IFN-gamma demonstrated similar effects in a dose dependent fashion with maximal stimulatory effect seen at 1000 U/ml. In contrast, pretreatment of stimulator SMNC with dmPGE2 resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of the responder T-lymphocyte proliferation with maximum inhibitory effect seen using a concentration of dmPGE2 of 10(-5) M. The presence of indomethacin in the MLC did not reverse this effect. These data demonstrate the effect of immunomodulation of stimulator spleen cells on subsequent T-lymphocyte function.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
