Effects of thyrotropin, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone on sIL-2R in vitro secretion from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
The effect of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyrotropin (0.06, 0.6, 6, and 60 microIU/ml), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (0.1, 1, 10, and 100 mIU/ml) on soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) release in vitro from resting or phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was evaluated. sIL-2R concentrations were measured in supernatants of cultured cells by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay method (ELISA). TSH in a dilution of 0.6 microIU/ml and FSH in a concentration of 1 mIU/ml inhibited the secretion of sIL-2R only (p < 0.01) into supernatants from PHA activated PBMC cultures.
