Summary

The induction of schistosomulicidal activity of peritoneal macrophages by concanavalin A-stimulated supernatants from long-term T-cell clones and by interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) was investigated in detail. Optimal conditions of in vitro macrophage activation by T-cell clone supernatants were established. Macrophages from 13-week S. mansoni-infected mice responded to lymphokine activation as well as resident mnacrophages from uninfecteci mice. IFN-γ was shown to play an essential role in induction of schistosomulicidal macrophage activity: recombinant IFN-γ at high concentration could induce schistosomula killing, and an anti-IFN-γ antiserum inhibited the induction ofschistosomulicidal activity by T-cell clone supernatants. Our data also indicate that macrophage activation could be obtained by IFN-γ in synergy with other lymphokines in the supernatant of long-term T-cell clones. Macrophages from mice injected with T-cell clone supernatants were primed in vivo and triggered to kill schistosomula in vitro in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The data demonstrate that lymphokines produced by T-cell clones and, in particular, IFN-γ can participate in the activation of schistosomulicidal macrophages.
