Phorbol ester-induced lymphocyte adherence: selective action on NK cells.

S Argov, M Hebdon, P Cuatrecasas

    Journal of Immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)
    |April 1, 1985

    Summary

    Phorbol dibutyrate (PDBU) treatment selectively induces adherence of natural killer (NK) cells in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). This PDBU-induced adherence enriches NK cells for research and therapeutic applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial for innate immunity.
    • Isolating specific immune cell populations is vital for research and therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of phorbol dibutyrate (PDBU) on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL).
    • To determine if PDBU treatment can selectively enrich natural killer (NK) cells.

    Main Methods:

    • Human PBL were treated with PDBU at 37°C for 20-45 minutes.
    • Adherent cells (pAd) were isolated and analyzed for NK cell characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • PDBU treatment induced adherence of 5-30% of PBL.
    • Adherent cells (pAd) showed high NK and ADCC activity, consistent surface markers, and morphology of large granular lymphocytes.

  • NK cell activity was enhanced by interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) pretreatment.
  • Non-adherent cells were depleted of NK cells.

    • Conclusions:

    • PDBU selectively induces adherence of NK cells from human PBL.
    • This method provides an effective way to enrich NK cells without altering their function.
    • The findings have potential practical and biological implications for NK cell research and applications.
