Lamprey is a representative of the agnathans, the most ancient class of vertebrates. Parasitic lampreys secrete antico- agulant from their buccal glands and prevent blood coagulation of host fishes. We identified a buccal gland secretory protein-2 (BGSP-2) from a buccal gland cDNA library of Lampetra japonica. The full-length BGSP-2 gene was cloned and the recombi- nant BGSP-2 protein was generated. The role of BGSP-2 on lymphocyte proliferation was studied by examining its effects on human T lymphocytes. We found that lamprey BGSP-2 was able to effectively block the proliferation of T cells in vitro by induc- ing G1/S cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, it inhibited the proliferation of human T lymphocytes stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) at a minimum concentration of 0.1μg/ml. Our data suggest that lamprey BGSP-2 is able to block the mitosis of human T lymphocytes at the G1/S point, and has the potential of anti-proliferative effect on PHA-activated T lymphocytes (Current Zoology 56 (2): 252-258, 2010). The cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) super- family comprises a large number of single-chain secre- tory proteins with different evolutionary origins and functions. CRISPs contain 16 highly conserved cysteine
