title: In vitro inhibition of tumor B cell growth by IgG-BF-producing Fc gamma RII+ T cell hybridoma and by immunoglobulin G-binding factors.
abstract: The growth-modulating effect on mouse hybridoma B cells of IgG-BF-producing Fc gamma RII+ mouse T cell hybridomas and of the IgG-BF isolated from the culture supernatants of these cells has been examined. Cocultures of IgG-secreting hybridoma B cells with IgG-BF-producing T hybridomas or with partially purified IgG-BF demonstrated a reproducible inhibition of the tumor B cell growth. The inhibition was due to a cytostatic and not to a cytotoxic effect. Hybridoma B cells cultured in liquid medium in the presence of soluble IgG-BF, or cocultured in semisolid agarose assays with IgG-BF-producing hybridoma T cells did not undergo immediate cytolysis but were prevented from proliferating. Thus, our data indicate that IgG-BF-producing Fc gamma RII+ T cells interfere with the proliferation of transformed B cells, possibly through soluble IgG-BF.
