RESUMO
Purified resting human T cells can be induced to express the alpha subunit of the interleukin 2 receptor and to proliferate by treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate plus ionomycin but not with 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol plus ionomycin. Determination of the translocation of protein kinase C showed that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate plus ionomycin caused a prolonged membrane association of the enzyme for more than 4 hr, whereas 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol plus ionomycin induced a transient membrane association, which was maximal at 20 min. Delivery of multiple additions of 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol plus ionomycin to the T cells resulted in progressively increased expression of the alpha subunit of the interleukin 2 receptor and proliferation commensurate with the number of multiple additions delivered, suggesting that prolonged protein kinase C activity is required for T-cell activation.
