Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel factors which are polypeptides having the ability to inhibit the activation or reverse pre-existent activation of phagocytic cells (macrophages, and neutrophils) , to methods for preparing these factors, and to methods and compositions for the treatment of disorders using these factors.
- Phagocytic cells are activated by various environmental stimuli and cytokines to kill tumor cells and microbial pathogens by releasing reactive oxygen intermediates (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) during a respiratory burst, or by releasing reactive nitrogen intermediates (e.g., nitric oxide) .
- Cytokines that enhance the cytotoxic and antimicrobial function of macrophages and neutrophils have been extensively studied. More recently, cytokines have been identified that block the induction of macrophage activation. These include transforming growth factor (TGF)- ⁇ , (Tsunawaki et al., Nature 334- 260 (1988)); interleukin (IL)-4 (Abramson et al. , Clin. Res . 37, 825A (abstract) 1989) and calcitonin gene- related peptide (CGRP) (Nong et al. , _2. Immunol. 143- 45 (1989) ) .

- TCM tumor cell conditioned medium
- the present invention provides for factors that are free from other components in TCM and have the ability to inhibit release of reactive oxygen intermediates by macrophages which have been activated by a variety of soluble and microbial triggering agents (see Example 2) .
- polypeptides of the present invention inhibit the release of reactive nitrogen intermediates triggered by treatment of macrophages with ⁇ -interferon or the combination of ⁇ -interferon and TNF- ⁇ (see Example 3) . Prolonged release of reactive nitrogen or oxygen intermediates is deleterious to normal cells and is suppressed by treatment with an effective amount of RBSF.
- RBSF The biological activity of RBSF is not confined to the inhibition of macrophage activity. As described in Example 4, it has now been found that purified RBSF can affect the proliferation of nonmyeloid cell lines .

- purified RBSF is defined as a single peak of activity on reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (see Fig. 6A) , and as a single, major band on SDS-PAGE of about 13,000 daltons (see Fig. 6C) .
- RBSF is a novel factor distinct from other factors such as TGF- ⁇ i that are known to suppress the respiratory burst of activated phagocytes.
- RBSF suppresses respiratory burst of phagocytic cells in the presence of phagocyte activating factor gamma interferon, whereas TGF- ⁇ does not suppress respiratory burst when gam interferon is present.
- antibodies specifically binding TGF- ⁇ i fail to neutralize the ability of purified RBSF to suppress release of oxygen intermediates by macrophages.
- purified RBSF fails to compete with TGF- ⁇ i for binding to kidney fibroblasts and lung epithelial cells, which are cell lines which express TGF- ⁇ receptors .

- the factors of the present invention also encompass variations in the primary structure (i.e., amino acid sequence) of RBSF. Such variants include precursor forms of RBSF having additional amino acids at the amino terminus which are processed during secretion from host cells and allelic variants.
- the invention also provides chemically modified forms of RBSF which exhibit increased solubility, stability and/or circulating half-life compared to unmodified RBSF. Such modifications include, for example, covalent linkage to polyethylene glycol (see U.S. Patent No. 4179337 hereby incorporated by reference) .
