[Effects of trophoblastic beta 1-glycoprotein (TBG) on the functional activity of different cell lines]

The effect of TBG on the functional activity of different cell lines, spontaneous and Con A induced proliferation of PBL was studied. If concentration of TBG is higher than 50 mu kg/ml it suppresses the proliferation in many used cell lines, except choriocarcinoma and cancer of uterus. The reliable increasing of spontaneous proliferation of PBL, Jurkat and K-562 cells may be observed if concentration is more lower (0.5-15 mu kg/ml). However proliferation of other cell lines corresponds to control level, and Con A induced proliferation of PBL is inhibited. The effect was more marked at 48, as compared to 24 hours of cell incubation with TBG.
