    Abstract

    Lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF) is a lymphocyte cell product that stimulates a migratory response in CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. In concert with its chemoattractant activity, LCF induces human T-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor. Here we describe the molecular cloning of cDNA encoding human LCF. It is a novel interleukin with no significant homology to any previously described cytokine families. There is an absolute requirement for both autoaggregation of LCF monomers and for membrane-expressed CD4 molecules for LCF-induced migration in lymphocytes.
