The nature of the helper lymphocytes in lymphocytosis-promoting factor (LPF)-induced proliferation was explored. Removal of macrophages from adherent splenocytes by either carbonyl-iron incubation or passage through Sephadex G-10 columns did not affect their synergistic function. Nor did cytolysis with Thy-1.2 antiserum and complement. The helper cells were found to be surface immunoglobulin-positive (sIg+) because they are retained by anti-Ig columns, susceptible to lysis by rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin and complement, and occurred in the sIg+ fractions of splenocytes after separation on the fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Further delineation of the surface markers on helper cells showed that complement receptors are not the determining marker for synergistic function. The requirement for B-helper cells in the stimulation of T lymphocytes by LPF is unique for a mouse of T-cell mitogen.

Measurements of antigen-specific T cell responses in chronic diseases are limited by low frequencies of antigen-specific cells in the peripheral blood. Therefore, attempts have been made to add costimulatory molecules such as anti-CD28 or IL-7/IL-15 to ELISPOT assays to increase sensitivity. While this approach has been successful under certain circumstances, results are often inconsistent. To date, there are no comprehensive studies directly comparing the in vitro effects of multiple costimulatory molecules in different disease settings. Therefore, in the present study we tested the effects of IL-7/IL-15, IFN-α, anti-ICOS, and anti-CD28 on antigen-specific T cell responses in patients infected with HCV or HIV versus healthy individuals. Our data show that none of the aforementioned molecules could significantly increase ELISPOT sensitivity, neither in HCV nor in HIV. Moreover, all of them caused false-positive responses to HCV and HIV antigens in healthy individuals. Our results question the broad use of in vitro costimulation.
