Inhibition of lymphocyte transformation: effect of soy bean trypsin inhibitor and synthetic anti-proteases.

Soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBI) was found to inhibit transformation of human lymphocytes induced by mitogens (leucoagglutinin, concanavalin A, NaIO4) or in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). SBI covalently cross-linked to Sepharose beads inhibited the MLR and mitogen stimulation virtually completely. We have confirmed the work of others which showed that the synthetic anti-proteases epilson-aminocaproic acid and tosyl-L-lysyl-chloromethane (TLCK) also inhibited mitogen-induced blastogenesis and we have shown that phenylmethylsulfonylfluride was effective also; all of these agents were found to inhibit the MLR as well. SBI and TLCK were most inhibitory when added along with mitogen or when mixing allogeneic cells in a MLR; significant decrease in inhibition was noted when TLCK was added 1 h after mitogen. These data support the hypothesis that protease action at a cell surface is an essential early event common to all types of lymphocyte transformation.[1]
