Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑15 and Neutralization by Human IL‑15 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑15 and Neutralization by Human IL‑15 Antibody.

Recombinant Human IL-15 (Catalog # 247-ILB) induces proliferation in the MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-15 (3 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti-Human/Primate IL-15 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB647). The ND50 is typically 4-20 ng/mL.
Detection of Human IL-15 by Flow Cytometry

Detection of Human IL-15 by Flow Cytometry

Reciprocal activation between NK&THP-1 cells, the role of IL-15&IFN-gamma. (c) IFN-gamma increases IL-15 membrane expression in THP-1 cells. Cells incubated with IFN-gamma (100 ng/ml), TNF (100 ng/ml) or IL-1 (100 ng/ml) for 24 hours&then the membrane-bound IL-15 (mIL-15) was measured by indirect immunofluorescence&flow cytometry. A representative experiment of the five performed is shown. Grey histograms represent mIL-15 on stimulated THP-1 cells, solid-line histograms represent basal mIL-15 expression,&the dotted-line histogram is the negative control.

Detection of Human IL-15 by Flow Cytometry

Reciprocal activation between NK&THP-1 cells, the role of IL-15&IFN-gamma. (a) IL-15& beta 2 integrins are involved in the intercellular contact with THP-1 cells that induces the expression of CD69 in natural killer (NK) cells. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) co-cultured with THP-1 cells (10:1 ratio of PBL to THP-1) for 24 hours in medium alone or in the presence of an anti-beta 2 integrin mAb (Lia3/2) or an anti-IL-15 mAb (MAB647). As a control, both cell lines separated by a 0.4 μm pore transwell. A representative experiment of the five performed is shown. The histograms represent the CD69 expression in CD56+ cells in the medium (grey histogram in all panels) or under the different conditions (solid black line in each panel); a negative control is also shown (dotted histogram in all panels).

Background: IL-15

Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a widely expressed 14 kDa cytokine that is structurally and functionally related to IL-2 (1-3). Mature human IL-15 shares 70% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-15. Alternate splicing generates isoforms of IL-15 with either a long or short signal peptide (LSP or SSP), and the SSP isoform is retained intracellularly (4). IL-15 binds with high affinity to IL-15 R alpha (5). It binds with lower affinity to a complex of IL-2 R beta and the common gamma chain ( gamma c) which are also subunits of the IL-2 receptor complex (1, 6). IL-15 associates with IL-15 R alpha in the endoplasmic reticulum, and this complex is expressed on the cell surface (7, 8). The dominant mechanism of IL-15 action is known as transpresentation in which IL-15 and IL-15 R alpha are coordinately expressed on the surface of one cell and interact with complexes of IL-2 R beta / gamma c on adjacent cells (9). This enables cells to respond to IL-15 even if they do not express IL-15 R alpha (8, 10). Soluble IL-15-binding forms of IL-15 R alpha can be generated by proteolytic shedding or alternate splicing (11-13). These molecules retain the ability to bind tightly to IL-15 and can either inhibit or augment IL-15 function (5, 12, 13). Consistent with its shared use of IL-2 receptor subunits, IL-15 induces IL-2-like effects in lymphocyte development and homeostasis (3). It is particularly important for the maintenance and activation of NK cells and CD8+ memory T cells (3). IL-15 also exerts pleiotropic effects on other hematopoietic cells and non-immune cells (2). Ligation of membrane-associated IL-15/IL-15 R alpha complexes induces reverse signaling that promotes cellular adhesion, tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins, and cytokine secretion by the IL-15/IL-15 R alpha expressing cells (14, 15).
