Popis: | The recently cloned cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor [CLMF] also called NK cell stimulatory factor [NKSF] or interleukin-12 [IL-12] has been described as a growth factor for mature lymphoid cells. The present study investigated whether purified recombinant human IL-12 could stimulate CFU colony growth. Source of progenitor cells were peripheral blood cells depleted of adherent, CD2- and CD56-positive cells. RhIL-12 was investigated either alone or in combination with rhIL-3, rhIL-6 and rhGM-CSF. RhIL-12 alone did not support colony formation of myeloid or erythroid progenitors. RhIL-12 in combination with rhIL-3 increased the numbers of BFU-E and CFU-GM. No synergism or additive effect was seen with the combination of rhIL-12 and rhGM-CSF or rhIL-12 and rhIL-6. An additive increase in the number of granulocytic colonies was observed when rhIL-3, rhIL-6 and rhGM-CSF were used together with rhIL-12. Our result therefore suggest that, in addition to being a potent lymphopoietic stimulator, IL-12 acts synergistically with IL-3 in enhancing the sensitivity of hemopoietic progenitors to IL-3. |
