II. Synergism of two factors produced by a human T-cell hybridoma that induce the cytotoxicity of human monocytes. PG - 481-90 AB - Two different factors (MAF-C I and MAF-C II) were obtained by anion exchange chromatography of the culture supernatant of a human T-cell hybridoma, H3-E9-6, which produces macrophage-activating factors for cytotoxicity (MAF-C). These 2 factors induced the cytotoxicity of monocytes synergistically as a priming signal (MAF-C I) and a triggering signal (MAF-C II), respectively. On gel filtration on a column of Superose 12, MAF-C II was eluted mainly at the void volume, whereas MAF-C I was eluted in the fractions corresponding to approximate molecular weights of 30-300 K. On the other hand, gel filtration in the presence of sodium deoxycholate revealed that MAF-C II has an approximate molecular weight of 40,000, but MAF-C I was unstable under these conditions. When the activity for mouse macrophages (MAF-Cm activity) was tested, the MAF-C II fraction showed high MAF-Cm activity in the presence of murine recombinant interferon gamma (rIFN-gamma), but the MAF-C I fraction did not show MAF-Cm activity even in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). These results suggest that MAF-C I (priming lymphokine) has species specificity but MAF-C II (triggering lymphokine) does not.
