ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to a new lymphokine molecule, referred to as Monocyte Cytotoxicity Inducing Factor (MCF), and its use as in cancer and other types of therapy. The disclosure further relates to the development of novel Sezary cell hybridomas which secrete MCF and thereby provide a ready source for MCF isolation and purification. Sezary'Syndrome is a leukemic proliferation of OKT4+ lymphocytes. Sezary cells were isolated by differential centrifugation and fused to CEM.8azarC, an HGPRTase lacking clone of CEM. The hybrid cells were studied for their ability to produce soluble mediators of human monocyte cytotoxicity. The product of a single clone, FtF3, which bore the surface phenotype of Sezary cells, was characterized. Monocyte cytotoxicity inducing factor was found to be stable at pH 2 for one hour, unlike interferon-gamma, and was found to be more heat stable as well. Moreover, treatment of MCF with antisera to interferons gamma, alpha, or a combination of gamma and alpha failed to neutralize its biologic activity. MCF binds to Matrex Gel Red A. MCF eluted from this dye-ligand was found to have an apparent molecular weight of 11,500 Daltons by gel filtration and 14,700 Daltons by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. (SDS-PAGE). A molecular weight of 29,000 daltons was found by use of SDS-PAGE in a second species of MCF produced under serum-free conditions.
