Article Description

Accessory function of human glial cells for the induction of anti-CD3 antibody-mediated proliferation of T cells was investigated by using seven glioma cell lines. Three of them were found to function as accessory cells and one of them, U118, was used for further analysis. U118 cells showed the cell-contact-mediated accessory function for T cell proliferation. It was found that protein synthesis was required to reveal this function, suggesting that some surface molecules are synthesized and expressed on U118 cells during interaction with T cells to mediate effective signals in T cells. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 seemed to be one of such inducible molecules and was shown to contribute to effective accessory cell-T cell interaction, but necessity of other molecule(s) was also suggested.
