Mouse cells lines of different lineages have been established which constitutively secrete large quantities of recombinant mouse interleukins (mIL 2, mIL 3, mIL4 or mIL 5). An existing bovine papilloma virus-based expression vector, pBV-1MTHA, was modified to allow transformed X63Ag8-653 myeloma cells, NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and C127 mammary tumor cells to stably carry multiple copies of the vector, to express the inserted cDNA encoding a single interleukin constitiutively, and to secrete the interleukin in high quantities. Cell lines transformed with mIL 2 cDNA stably carried 30-100 copies of the plasmind per cell and constitutively secreted biologically active mIL 2 in qunatities similar to those produced by murine EL4 thymoma cells or rat spleen cells stimulated with mitogens. Delection of the 3'' untranslated region containing AT-rich sequences from the mIL 2 cDNA resulted in a 100-fold increase in the constitutive production and secretion of mIL 2 by the transformants. Addition of a heavy metal further increased the production 2 to 6-fold. Cells transformed with 3''deleted mIL3 cDNA constitutively secreted 300-1000 times higher activites of mIL 3 than the myelomonocytic leukemia line WEHI3. mIL4 produced by the similar transformants induced (3H)thymidine uptake of a T cell line, a mast cell line and B leukemia cells, and enhanced the production of IgG1 by B cells. IL 4 titers were 150 times higher than those produced by the concanavalin A- stimulated T cell line 2.19 mIL 5 was secreted by similar transformants at 10-fold higher titers than those produced by concanavalin A-stimulated 2.19 T cells, as judged by the proliferation and maturation of B cell leukemia lated 2.19 T cells, as judged by the proliferation and maturation of B cell leukemia BCL1. The expression vectors should be useful in establishing eukaryotic cell lines producing proteins from full lentgth cDNA clones at higher rates. The established cell lines secreting IL 2, 3, 4 or 5 at high rate should be useful sources of herse interleukins in the investigation of their function in the immune system.
