Sxperiments in neighboring fields suggest prostaglandins could have a relationship with this SUbstance. I have worked on three sets of experiments, looking for the soluble factor mentioned. Two of these tests are specific: tumor growth inhibition and tumor death. - Radioactively label- led Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells were incubated with supernatants from peritoneal macrophages cultured in media with added activators and inhibitors. Macrophages are diverse cells. immQ~e systems in several forms. They function in mam.mali~_n They are a part of antibody- depende:-i t <::ell-media ted cytotoxici ty (ADGC), immediate anaphylactic rea<::tions, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, and natural cytotoxicity. modes of a(:tivity: This means that macrophages have a few phagocytosis, antibody-dependent recogni- tion of target cells, and antibody-free rece cells. -~ition of target Antibody-free abilities are poorly u..."1derstood (3d). "The most prominent functional property of the macrophage is its ability to recognize foreign or damaged material," (38). In fact, it is this independent defense that began my set of experiments. A detailed recollection of macrophage structure or capabilities would be superfluous to include here, so I shall attempt to include a relatively few, helpful descriptions. Mature macrophage:3 usually do not replicate, and can live for several months in humans. Their plasma membranes contain receptors for the Fc portion of antibody molecules and for some types of complement (38). The surface of the cell changes depending on the most recent origin. Some surface structures allow the,:. to adhere to containers (plastics, glass) as they do to non-self materiel (.30). In some marmer, macrophages bound to twnor cells destroy the tissue, most likely by cellular secretions, though the mode is unclear (13). chemicals: Macrophages secrete many hydrogen peroxide, argenine, complement (3), neu- tral proteases (16), and many others not here. n~cessary for mention (5). Secretion varies inversely with macrophage growth For our purposes concerning tumor cytotoxicity, there are three categories of secretions: toxic chemicals, tumor growth inhibitors, ~nd DNA precursor inhibitors (13).* are inhibited, however, by PBS in vitro (3). ,- Secretions Activated macro- phages secrete a yet-elusive sUbstance of about 45,000 daltons molecular weight (5,15) which might be my killing mechanism. *~. prevention of incorporation of uri dine or labelled ioaodeoxyuridine (21,28). 2 las 1- One common explanation for the mechanism of tumor cytotoxicity by maerophages without antibody mediators requires contact between both cells. It has been proposed that a great deal of aceommodation is offered by the target surface. are two levels of attacr~€nt, There based on the strength of their membrane-membrane bond (3). There is no proof that these two levels are related to stages of ma:·ropb.a.ge activation. 'rhe lesser level might be involved only in cellular recognition. In both instanc~s, contact is not flush; there is a narrow pocket formed, not unlike placing two craters lip to lip_ This pocket is approximately 100 is tighter. A wide, narrower if contact It is assumed, then, that cytotoxic chemicals are released here as a conservative practice (3). Research is presently underway to find more about this particular process. Macrophages are only moderately Pllocrnacious; their bell igerence must be bought with many signals both inside and outside a host's immunologic systems. Once activated, they can kill or restrain foreign tissue (25). (1,)2). Activation has many stages Resident macrophages have been given no stimulus of any kind, much like "native" cells. Macrophages can be elici- ted to an area by chemoattractants and irritants (38), but activation has not yet been accomplished. There are at least two levels of activation, primed and complete, depending on their ability to destroy tumor cells (32). This process 4ight be due to differentiation rather than ttmodula tions" (2). Acti- vated 'macrophages have ruffled plasma membranes, phagocytize better, adhere better, have more endocytic vessels, and as a rule usurp inflammed regions from resident macrophages (27). They are, then, super macrophages. Activation of macrophages can be caused in vivo by infection (4,19,38), in vitro by LPS (2,15), lymphokines to an extent (2,13), double-stranded RNA (13), phytohemagglutinin from other macrophages stimulated with ConA (1), calcium ionophore A23187 (15), and endotoxins (1,3,4,6).
