Abstract
Activities of the ecto-enzymes 5′-nucleotidase (5′-N) and phosphatase were determined on the surface of intact cells from 15 different established lines of human B- and T-lymphoblasts. Whereas all the lines express phosphatase, 10 of the lines were negative for 5′-N. 5′-N-negative cell lines are found among B as well as T cells, and they do not carry cryptic enzyme activity. In a 5′-N-positive line activity of this enzyme is correlated with growth showing a peak during the logarithmic phase. On the other hand, inhibition of 5′-N does not change the growth curve of this line. Neuraminidase treatment of the cell surface brings about an increase in phosphatase but not in 5′-N activity. 5′-N of two B-cell lines and of human peripheral blood lymphocytes shows complete crossreactivity with an antiserum obtained against human placental 5′-N. However, the enzyme of one lymphoma line with B-cell properties (EHR-A-Ramos) does not cross-react with this serum. The results are discussed with respect to suitability of these lymphoblast lines as model systems for the study of immunodeficiencies. Aktivitäten der Ektoenzyme 5′-Nukleotidase (5′-N) und Phosphatase wurden gemessen an intakten Zellen aus 15 verschiedenen etablierten Linien menschlicher B- und T-Lymphoblasten. Während Phosphatase auf allen Zellinien exprimiert wird, waren 10 der untersuchten Linien negativ für 5′-N. 5′-N-negative Linien finden sich sowohl unter B- als auch T-Zellen; sie tragen auch keine kryptische Enzymaktivität. In einer 5′-N-positiven Linie folgt die Enzymaktivität der Wachstumskurve mit einem Maximum während der logarithmischen Phase. Andererseits ändert Hemmung der 5′-N nichts an der Wachstumscharakteristik dieser Zellinie. Neuraminidasebehandlung der Zelloberfläche bringt eine Steigerung der Phosphatase-, nicht jedoch der 5′-N-Aktivität mit sich. 5′-N auf zwei B-Zellinien und auf menschlichen peripheren Blutlymphozyten zeigt komplette Kreuzreaktivität mit einem Antiserum gegen 5′-N aus menschlicher Plazenta. Dagegen kreuzreagiert 5′-N einer weiteren Lymphomlinie mit B-Zell-Eigenschaften (EHR-A-Ramos) nicht mit diesem Serum. Die Brauchbarkeit dieser Lymphoblastenlinien als Modellsysteme zum Studium von Immundefizienzen wird diskutiert.Keywords
