Wheat germ agglutinin-positive cells in a stem cell-enriched fraction of mouse bone marrow have potent natural suppressor activity.

Abstract: In the present study we have characterized natural suppressor (NS) cells, which nonspeciflically suppress mitogen responses and mixed-lymphocyte reaction. The strongest NS activity was found in a fraction of relatively low-density cells (1.

“…Thus, the Gr-1 ϩ suppressor cells described in this work are different from those found to be expanded in response to a schistosome-expressed immunomodulatory glycoconjugate and to suppress the proliferative activity of naive CD4 ϩ T cells via an IFN-␥ and NO dependent mechanism (24). A population of alternatively activated macrophages that suppress CD4 ϩ T cells reactivity by an as-yet-unknown mechanism, but in an IFN-␥/NO-independent manner, has been reported (53).…”

“…Two distinct subpopulations of myeloid suppressors have been characterized. CA MSC are NO and IFN-␥ dependent (24,28), whereas alternatively activated MSC are IL-4 dependent (17,18,26,29,30,52). An immature myeloid cell line strongly up-regulated its suppressive functions after exposure to IL-4 (26) and, interestingly, the exposure to IL-4 also up-regulated CD80 expression on these cells (26), whereas exposure to IFN-␥ did not up-regulate CD80 expression on human PMN (32).…”

“…T cells were depleted from the whole BMCs by treatment with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) against Thy1.2 (clone HO-13-4, ATCC; Rockville, MD) and rabbit complement (Perfreeze; Brown Deer, WI). The wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-positive (HSC-enriched) BMC fraction was prepared as previously described [17,18] with a minor modification. In brief, low-density BMCs ([LDBMCs]; 1.060-1.073 g/ml) were separated from whole BMCs by equilibrium density centrifugation (1,000 g, 30 min, 4°C) on discontinuous density gradients of Percoll (Pharmacia-LKB; Uppsala, Sweden) solution.…”

“…Moreover, when the total bone marrow cells were fractionated by Percoll density-gradient centrifugation, APO-H gene expression was detected in STIL-3 C5-CM stimulated fraction (Fr.) 2 (1.064<ρ<1.074), which has been reported to be a hematopoietic stem cell rich fraction (Sugiura et al, 1988).…”
