    A novel culture method significantly enhances lymphokine release from tuberculin-sensitive cells. This method identified a heat-stable macrophage inhibition factor and a new, low-molecular-weight heat-labile lymphokine.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Tuberculin-sensitive peritoneal exudate cells release lymphokines when stimulated with purified protein derivative.
    • Conventional culture methods yield limited lymphokine titers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a novel culture technique for augmented lymphokine production.
    • To characterize the inhibitory lymphokines released using this method.

    Main Methods:

    • Incubation of cells in stationary conical tubes to promote intercellular contact.
    • Sequential Amicon ultrafiltration for lymphokine fractionation.
    • Analysis of molecular weight and heat stability of inhibitory substances.

    Main Results:

    • The conical tube method increased lymphokine titers by up to 10^9 times compared to conventional methods.

  • Two distinct macrophage-inhibitory lymphokines were identified.
  • A heat-stable lymphokine (50-100 kDa) likely representing guinea pig macrophage inhibition factor was found.
  • A novel, heat-labile lymphokine (500-1000 Da) was discovered with potential direct macrophage inhibitory action.

    • Conclusions:

    • A stationary conical tube culture method significantly enhances the release of inhibitory lymphokines.
    • The study identified a known macrophage inhibition factor and a potentially novel low-molecular-weight lymphokine.
    • The low-molecular-weight substance may act as a direct inhibitor or an immunotransmitter amplifying lymphokine production.
