Abstract

We have isolated and studied two alloreactive, T4+, human lymphocyte clones that release interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 3 (IL-3) bioactivities upon stimulation with IL-2, alloantigen, or Sepharose-conjugated antibodies directed against the T3 protein. Anti-IL-2 receptor monoclonal antibodies block IL-2-, alloantigen-, or anti-T3-stimulated IL-3 release. Hence, release of IL-3 activity in each circumstance is rigorously dependent upon activation of the IL-2 receptor. Even low, nonmitogenic concentrations of recombinant IL-2 stimulated IL-3 release.
