Summary
When peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with chronic active hepatitis were stimulated with liver specific lipoprotein (LSP), considerably higher frequencies of lymphocyte transformation and MIF production were induced. Peritoneal macrophages from guinea pigs were activated by lymphokine-containing lymphocyte culture supernatant and produced a cytotoxic (or cytostatic) factor acting on isolated hepatocytes in culture. The cytotoxic (or cytostatic) factor, which was fractionated by Sephadex G-75 column gel filtration followed by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, had cytotoxic effect on isolated liver cells and produced a significant amount of lipid peroxide. These results suggested the possibility that the cytotoxic effects may be caused at least partially by the lipid peroxid formation.
