Abstract
A low-molecular-weight (1,400) factor isolated from a human plasma alpha-globulin concentrate by acid-salt dissociation and ultrafiltration inhibits proliferation of mitogen-stimulated T cells and L1210 leukemia cells. The factor (UM05R) inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in sensitive cells, acts in G1 of the cell cycle, and appears to suppress mitogen-responsive T cells without an accessory cell requirement. UM05R activity is enhanced by known cAMP-elevating agents and by sulfhydryl compounds. The results of the present study are consistent with the hypothesis that the plasma-derived agent inhibits lympho-proliferation as a result of elevation of intracellular cAMP.Entities:
