Popis: An endogenous inhibitor for human lymphocyte RNA, protein, and DNA synthesis contained in the extracts of cultured human lymphoid cells (PGLC-33H) is described. The cell extract was found to inhibit RNA, protein and DNA synthesis of autologous cultured lymphoid cells (PGLC-33H) as well as heterologous PHA stimulated human peripheral lymphocytes but not that of nonlymphoid cells (HeLa cells, human embryonic lung, human embryonic skin and muscle and WI-38). Extracts of human peripheral lymphocytes were also found to inhibit the DNA synthesis of cultured lymphoid cells (PGLC-33H) and PHA stimulated human peripheral lymphocytes but not that of nonlymphoid cells (HeLa cells and human embryonic lung). Similarly prepared extracts of long term cultured skin and muscle (H 1 S) cells did not inhibit the DNA synthesis of the cultured lymphoid cells. No evidence of cytotoxicity was detected, and the inhibition was reversible. The inhibitory activity of the extract was found to be thermolabile, nondialyzable, DNase resistant, and sensitive to trypsin. The inhibitor seems to be different from lymphotoxin.
