Human cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) induced by phytohemagglutinin: conditions for CTL generation and effect of interferon.
The present study demonstrates that human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMC) can be stimulated in vitro to become cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) by PHA. A significant cytotoxic activity of PMC was detected 48 hr after the culture initiation in the presence of 5 micrograms/ml of PHA and the peak level of the activity was obtained by culturing PMC for 72 hr. The cytotoxic cells require the presence of PHA as a cell agglutinin for the expression of their cytotoxic activity. The effector cells mediating the activity were identified as T lymphocytes by E-rosette fractionation of PMC. In this system, removal of carbonyl iron phagocytosed or attached cells from PMC did not abrogate CTL generation of PMC. In addition, human alpha-interferon did not augment CTL generation or expression of their activity. Although the target cells employed were sensitive to natural killer (NK) cells, the effector cells induced by PHA did not seem to have any relation to the NK cells. The present study may provide a useful tool to analyze for precursors of killer T cells.
