Abstract

A variety of soluble factors have been described which regulate the growth and differentiation of human B lymphocytes in vitro. Several of these factors were orginally recognized by their activity in assays of B cell function, for example IL-4, BSF-2, and BCGF.1–4 In contrast, we have been studying the effects on B cell function of three factors originally described to influence the function of cell types distinct from B cells. These three factors are Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-ß), orginally described to induce certain adherent non-neoplastic cells to express a transformed phenotype and to undergo anchorage independent growth5; interleukin-2 (IL-2), first recognized to promote the growth of T lymphocytes6; and Tumor necrosis factors, first identified by their cytotoxic or cytostatic effects against certain tumor cell lines7. Each of these factors have been found to have significant regulatory effects on the growth and differentiation of human B cells in vitro.
