Abstract

Murine interleukin-2 (IL-2)-producing AOFS 21 T-cell hybridoma cells and normal murine splenocytes were stimulated in serum-free media by 16 potential mitogens/growth factors. Only insulin, concanavalin A (Con A), peptidoglycan monomer and a tumour-derived insulinoid stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation by AOFS 21 cells and splenocytes. Supernatants of these stimulated cultures were tested for IL-2 activity which generally followed the pattern of growth stimulation. Both the mitogenicity and stimulation of IL-2 secretion by insulin were second only to the effects of Con A.
