Abstract:
:Immunoaffinity-purified interleukin 2 (IL2) stimulated proliferation of large but not small B cells. Stimulation was observed even when B cells were cultured at very low cell densities (3 X 10(4) per microwell containing 0.2 ml of medium). Addition of small numbers of purified splenic T cells did not enhance the IL2-induced B-cell proliferative response. These results suggest that IL2 was not operating through contaminating T cells. B cells cultured with anti-Ig antibody in vitro showed enhanced proliferation when cultured with EL4 thymoma-derived B-cell growth factor but not when cultured with IL2. A direct role for IL2 in B-cell activation is discussed.
