In this study we investigated whether interleukin 2 (IL-2) acts on B cell proliferation and whether activated B cells express IL-2 receptors. First, the functional activity of immunoaffinity-purified or recombinant human IL-2 was studied in a B blast assay using positively selected murine surface Ig-positive cells that had been activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus anti-Ig antibodies (anti-Ig). In this assay, T cells were not detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis. It was found that both IL-2 preparations led to optimal B cell proliferation compared with supernatants obtained from murine or human spleen cells or murine cloned T helper cells. Second, we observed that the IL-2 requirement in this assay was about the same as in a proliferation assay using lectin-activated polyclonal murine Lyt-2- positive T cells. Third, analysis of the binding of radiolabeled immunoaffinity-purified IL-2 to B cells indicated that LPS plus anti-Ig- activated B cells expressed a mean of 3,500 IL-2 receptors per cell with an apparent dissociation constant of 150 pM. However, neither nonactivated B cells nor B cells activated by LPS alone exhibited significant specific IL-2 binding. The functional and the receptor data are consistent with the conclusion that IL-2 is a growth factor not only for T cells but also for B cells.
