PG - 81-7 AB - We isolated natural killer (NK) cells from DA rat bone marrow (BM) by staining with PE anti-NKR-P1A and FACS sorting (>98% NK(+)). The purified NK cells inhibit T-cell proliferation in a dosage-dependent fashion and suppressed production of the proinflammatory Th1 cytokine, IFN-gamma. When activated in vitro with Con A supernatant (CAS), the purified NK cells secrete the beta-chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and upregulate MCP-1 mRNA. The activated NK cells also express IFN-gamma mRNA. Sorted NK(+)CD3(-) cells, from which NKT cells have been excluded, also inhibit autoreactive T-cell responses to myelin basic protein (MBP). These findings are consistent with a role for conventional NK cells in maintaining immune homeostasis, by eliminating autoreactive T cells that have inadvertently become activated.
