Detection of expression of Th1/Th2 cytokines in jurkat cell treated with gamma-interferon by cytometric bead array / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

In order to explore the value of gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) in therapy of T lymphoid leukemia and role of cytometric bead array (CBA) method in detection of Th1/Th2 cytokines expression, the Jurkat cells were cultured for 48 hours in different concentration of IFN-gamma, the expressions of IL-2, IL-6, INF-gamma and TNF-alpha in culture supernatants were assayed by CBA method; CD25 expression was assayed by flow cytometry. The results showed that the expressions of IL-2, TNF-alpha were enhanced in INF-gamma dose-dependent way, and the expression of CD25 was also enhanced, but there was no expression of IL-6. It is concluded that Jurkat cells induced by IFN-gamma were able to express high-level of Th1 cytokine and IL-2 membrane receptor (CD25), and the CBA method can be used to exactly evaluate the dynamic change of Th1/Th2 cytokines.
