Abstract
The hematopoietic system is derived from the progeny of pluripotential stem cells which can differentiate along lymphoid or myeloid lineages (Keller et al.1985; Williams et al.1984; Joyner et al.1983; Lemischka et al.1986). Interleukin 3 (IL3) is a T cell derived lymphokine which supports the proliferation and differentiation of early hematopoietic stem cells in vitro and has been speculated to play a comparable role in vivo (Ihle, and Weinstein, 1986; Ihle, 1988). A role for IL3 in the mechanisms by which retroviruses induce leukemias has been hypothesized based on several observations. Initially it was observed that there was a correlation between a T cell immune response to retroviruses and the latency and frequency of leukemias (Lee et al.1981a). It was subsequently demonstrated that the T cell response consisted, in part, of viral antigen specific helper T cells which produced IL3 following antigenic stimulation (Lee, and Ihle, 1981b). As a consequence of this immune response there is a dramatic increase in the cells proliferating in response to IL3 in vivo (Lee, and Ihle, 1981) which has been hypothesized to constitute an increased pool of progenitors for transformation.
