IL-4 specifically induced IgE production by peripheral blood lymphocytes or by tonsil or spleen cells from healthy donors. IL-4-induced IgE synthesis was dependent on CD4+ T cells and monocytes and was blocked by IFN-y, IFN-a, and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE-2). These substances also inhibited IL4-induce
Polyreactive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) B cells were compared with antigen-induced SLE and normal B cells for their interleukin-6 (IL-6) and soluble CD23 requirements. Unlike normal B cells, secretion of antibody by SLE B cells in serum-free medium was not enhanced by exogenous IL-6. Anti-IL
