standards for quantitating IFN- 7 from Thl sod IL-4 from ‘IbZ by amplifying pBR322 DNA using joint primers of human cytokines and the plasmid. The chimera DNAs served as internal standards for PCR. With the mRNA of peripheral blood mo”onuclear cell obtained from atopic detmatifis patients and the healthy control as the mooid, cDNA was synthesized and sobjeued to PCR togethn with the corresponding internal standard, each cytokine placed in one tube. After agamse gel electmphoresis and &idiom bromide staining, the photographic negative picture of tbe specimen was examined by means of densitomcby so as to quantitatively de&nine the expression of cytokins on the basis of their ratio between the internal standard and specimen. As a result, Thl-derived cytokinc was shown to lx more dotizmt in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic atopic dermatitis.

When IL-18 was combined with lL-12 a synergistic increase in IFN-yproduction was observed in both normal (1808 to 2338pg/ml) and patient (124 to 165pg/ml) PBMC. Similarly, cultures combining Il.18 and IL12 detnonsuated enhanced NK cell activity in comparison to IL-18 orlL-12 alone.

Keratinoeytes actively participate 1” the inklammatory process primarily through the production and secretion of cytokines. One cytokme that has bee” attributed to be part of the cytokine repertoire of mwine and human keratinocytes is macrophage colony stimulating factor or M-CSF. However, previously published data concluding that MCSF is produced by human kerarinocytes is in doubt. By “s~“g Golgi immunostaining, we assessed the expression of M-CSF protein in human primary keratinccytes and the human keratinocyte lines, HaCaT and A431, relative to that in M-CSF-producing celI controls, the nwine keratinocyte lines, PAM212 and XB-2, and the human M-CSFgene transfected murine melanoma Line,B16FlOA2. Intracellular M-CSF protein was identified on an individual cell basis using M-CSF-specific monoclonal antlbodles in pemxablized cells which showed enhanced expression after the addition of monensin for the last 2 hours of culture. M-CSF-producing cells were enumerated by fluorescent microscopy and by stngle-color cytofluommetry. Essentially all of the phorbol acetatestimulated PAM212 control cells and all of the human M-CSF-transfected A2 control cells were M-CSF producers. Smaller numbers of XB-2 cells, control celis that are weak producers of M-CSF, could be. identified as M-CSF producers when these cells were stimulated with phorbol acetate followed by monensin treatment. Enumeration of M-CSF+ cells by flow cytometry, although less sensitive than manual enumerauon of fluorescent cells, and M-CSF bioassays mirrored these findings. However, in contrast to the data of the three different control ceils, M-CSF protein could not be identified in any of the prtmary human keratinocytes “or in the human HaCaT and A43 1 keratinocy~c lines eve” after phorbol acetate stimulation and monensin treatmeot.
