TS stimulates IL-6 release in T-24 cells via its TR. (A) Dose–response. T-24 cells were stimulated for 24 h with the indicated concentrations of recombinant LTR or CD domains of TS. IL-6 in the conditioned supernatants was assayed by ELISA. Similar results were obtained with PBMCs. (B) Immunodepletion of LTR. An LTR solution was passed through a protein G–Sepharose column adsorbed with either anti-LTR mAb TCN-2 (TCN-2) or control anti–p-azo-phenylarsonate IgG1 (Ctrl/IgG1). The flow-through of both columns was added to T-24 cells for 24 h, and the resulting conditioned media were assayed for IL-6 by ELISA. Eluate for each column was obtained by mechanical stirring of the agarose followed by centrifugation. Eluates were tested for IL-6–secretory activity in the same way as the flow-through.
