Effects of interleukin-8 on suppression of human lymphocyte polarization and migration by anti-LFA-1 antibody.

We investigated the role of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) in human T cell polarization and migration assay by using monoclonal antibody specific to beta chain (CD18) and alpha chain (CD11a). T cell polarization in response to fetal calf serum (FCS) and colchicine was suppressed by the addition of CD18 and CD11a antibodies. Furthermore, T cell migration in response to lymphocyte chemotactic factor ( LCF) and casein was markedly depressed by the addition of CD18 and CD11a antibodies. Additional studies to evaluate effects of interleukin 8 (IL-8) on polarization and migration of T cells preincubated with CD18 or CD11a antibody showed that IL-8 restored the capability of migration of T cells, whereas did not restore polarization activity of such cells. These studies indicate that LFA-1 plays a role in the polarization and migration of T cells and that IL-8 may positively interfer with LFA-1-adhesion molecules.[1]
