Although IL-l alpha and beta are distinct gene products, they recognize the same receptor and share almost the same biologicalproperties.To find out the effects of both forms of IL-l on proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes,NHEK were cultured with IL-l alpha, IL-1 beta or Ca2t. To estimate their proliferation, the number of cultured NHEK was counted and the 3H-thymidine uptake by NHEK was measured. To estimate their differentiation, epithelial keratins were studied by immunoblottingusing two monoclonal anticytokeratinantibodies (PKK-1 and MA-904), a monoclonal antihuman filaggrin antibody, and rabbit antiserum against involucrin. The results of these experiments show that only IL-l alpha, but not beta, suppresses the proliferation of NHEK and produces differentiationof them. These findings suggest that some biological properties may be different in IL-l alpha and beta.
In the iestructionof cancer cells by effector cells, direct contact of them is supposed to be necessary.l:owever, precise mechanism is unkonwn. We previouslyreported that direct contact of PMN (neutrophils)with SCC cells (Dj?l-1) evoked Dn4-1 dissociationin 48h in vitro. After that we found that addition of nreactivatedneutrwhils to DJ!4-1 culture in the presence'ofanti ICAX-1 ind;ced DJH-1 dissociationmuch earlier than nonactivatedones. This time we found that anti Mac 1 (CDllb)significantlyenhanced the dissociationin this system. Namely, addition af both anti Hat I and anti ICAEI-1to the reaction system of GMCSFpretreatedneutrophilswith upregulatedMac 1 on IFN -ipretreatedDJM-1 sheet with upregulatedICA?-1 enhanced DJM -1 dissociationthan the addition of anti ICAM- alone. Furthermoresuch dissociationwas partially inhibitedby anti laninin,which DJM-1 hai an its surface.

Primary rejection of H-2 class II-dispar+atE,;:,in grafts is known to be mediated by CD4 predominant T cell subset involved in HOWeVer, second-set rejection of class II-disparate skin In the grafts has not been well documented. of present study, we have shown that depletion CD4+ cells by in viva monoclonal antibody treatment results in prolongation of isolated class II-disparate skin graft survival in naive mice but CD8+ cells from these not in sensitized mice. sensitized mice depleted of CD4+ cells expressed These results class II reactivity in vitro. indicate the possibility that class II-reactive CD8+ cells generated in primary rejection of class II-disparate skin grafts could mediate second-set rejection in sensitized mice without CD4+ cells.
Lymphomatoidpapulosis (LyP) was studied by immunohistochemistry,and light and electron microscopy in four cases. According to histologic types of LyP (Willemzeet al. 1982), 2 cases were classifiedas type A. 1 as type B, and 1 as atypical large transitionalfarm. ~mmunoh~stochemically, cells expressedT cell antigens in all cases. However, in two cases these cells lacked expressionof some T cell antigens. In all casesthese cells had several activated antigen (CD25,~~30, CD71, HLA DR), hut in one case did not have EMA (epithelialmembrane antigen). Electron microscopy showed that atypical lymphoid cells were admixed with numerous macrophaqes.

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is an angiogenic factor and also a mitogen for the epidermal cell. In order to examine the role of bFGF in human skin we studied the distributionof bFGF in normal human skin and several skin diseases. bFGF was demonstratedby direct immunofluorescence staining of cryostat sections with a polyclonal anti bFGF antibody. In normal human skin, positive stainings for bFGF were observed in the basal cells. In psoriasis, the basal cells and several supra-basallayers at rate ridges were positively stained. Seborrheickeratosis and basal cell epitheliomashowed diffuse stainings in the basaloid cells of the tumor. These results indicate the importanceof bFGF for keratinocyteproliferation.
