Abstract
The effect of some prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) on lymphocytes and monocytes was tested in vitro. Overnight incubation with PGD<sub>2</sub> reduces the expression of Leu-2 antigen (suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype) and of Fc receptors for IgG. PGA<sub>2</sub>, PGD<sub>2</sub> and to a lesser extent PGE<sub>2</sub> inhibit PHA reactivity of lymphocytes. LTB<sub>4</sub> does not have any inhibitory activity. Preincubation of lymphocytes with PGD<sub>2</sub> and PGE<sub>2</sub> decreases their NK activity. LTB<sub>4</sub>, but not the PGs tested, stimulates monocyte metabolism as assessed by chemiluminescence.
