Abstract
Proliferation of lectin-treated mouse thymocytes induced by the tumor promoter, 12-o-tetradecanoyl-13-acetate, is markedly inhibited by cAMP analogues, prostaglandin E and methylisobutylxanthine. Proliferation induced by interleukin-2 is resistant to inhibition by these compounds. The tumor promoter induces interleukin-2 production in a subpopulation of lectin-treated thymocytes, and production of this lymphokine is inhibited by agents that in-crease cellular cAMP.
