Previously, the author and co-researchers reported a novel petide in the serum-free culture medium conditioned by a human embryo fibroblast cell strain (YH-1), which exhibited an inhibitory effect on the proliferation and some functions of B and T lymphocyies (Okai et al., Zool. Sci. 4: 99, 1987). In this paper, the effect of the fraction containing this peptide on formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP)-induced activation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) is described. This fraction suppressed both the FMLP-induced chemotaxis and RNA synthesis in human PMNs, while it showed no significant cytotoxic effect on human PMNs as judged by a dye exclusion test. The inhibitory activity by this fraction was lost by a treatment with trypsin, but not heat at 60℃ for 30min. These findings indicate that the fibroblast-derived peptide has an immunosuppressive activity against the activation of human PMNs.
