Th cell-mediated rapid recognition of foreign Ag and the Ia molecule was studied using azobenzenearsonate-L-tyrosine (ABA-L-tyrosine)-specific Th cells (I-Ak restricted), foreign Ag (ABA-L-tyrosine), and APC (H-2k). Initial transmembrane signals in Th cell hybridomas (2-45-12) and in Th cell lines (A24-17 or A33-7) were monitored by stopped-flow fluorometry with fluorescent probes. It was found that Th cells recognized foreign Ag within 1 s at 25 degrees C on the APC (B10.BR spleen cells or L cells into which I-Ak genes were transferred). Recognition of foreign Ag and the Ia molecule was shown to deliver the initial signals to Th cell hybridomas and T cell lines. First, Th cells had membrane fluidity increased and then calcium was transported from the external medium into the T cells. The initial transmembrane signals to Th cell hybridomas were inhibited by the addition of an anti-I-Ak mAb. None of the initial signals were observed in the absence of either specific foreign Ag or APC. 相似文献

Analysis of the interaction of peptide hen egg white lysozyme (34-45) with the I-Ak molecule 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We examined the structural characteristics of a peptide Ag that determine its ability to interact with class II-MHC molecules and TCR. The studies reported here focused on recognition of the hen egg white lysozyme (HEL) tryptic fragment HEL(34-45) by two I-Ak-restricted T cell hybridomas. HEL(34-45) bound to I-Ak created more than one antigenic specificity. Experiments with truncated peptides and alanine-substituted peptides indicated that two T cell hybrids either recognized distinct regions of the HEL(34-45) peptide, or different determinants generated by interaction of the peptide with I-Ak. Although we identified residues of HEL(34-45) that were critical to T cell recognition, no positions in the peptide were identified as I-Ak contact sites using single alanine substitutions. This suggests that more than one site or region of the peptide contributes to the binding to I-Ak. Finally, the murine lysozyme equivalent of 34-45 did not bind to I-Ak. Substitution of the corresponding murine lysozyme (self) residue at position 41 of HEL(34-45) abrogated I-Ak binding of the peptide. 相似文献

T cell recognition of bovine ribonuclease. Self/non-self discrimination at the level of binding to the I-Ak molecule 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Bovine RNase A specific T-cell hybridomas were generated to study the recognition of foreign Ag by T lymphocytes. One hybrid, TS12, was shown to recognize RNase in association with I-Ak. This hybridoma required bovine RNase to be processed before recognition. The immunogenic determinant on the RNase molecule recognized by TS12 was localized to the tryptic fragment RNase(40-61). All of the stimulatory ability of this determinant was shown to be contained within the synthetic 14mer RNase(43-56). When this segment of bovine RNase was compared with the self murine sequence, only one amino acid difference was found, a substitution of a proline residue at position 50 for a serine residue. This substitution completely abolishes binding to the I-Ak molecule, as shown by both functional and direct binding assays. This finding shows that self/non-self discrimination not only occurs at the level of the T cell, but also can be caused by an inability of the self peptide to associate with a class II molecule. 相似文献

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted recognition of antigen by T lymphocytes involves the formation of a complex composed of the T cell receptor, antigen, and restricting MHC molecule. To elucidate the interactions occurring within the antigen recognition complex, we have evaluated the ability of a panel of cell lines expressing mutated I-Ak molecules to function in the recognition by T hybridoma cells of two distinct peptide antigens. Our results indicate that while alterations along the entire length of the proposed helical structure in the carboxyterminal half of the beta 1 domain interfere with the I-Ak-restricted recognition of human fibrinopeptide B, mutations which affect recognition of hen egg lysozyme/I-Ak fall almost exclusively in the central portion of the helix. On the basis of these and previous results, we propose a "T cell receptor-mediated peptide exchange model" for formation of the antigen recognition complex. 相似文献

T cell receptor gene segment usage in a panel of hen-egg white lysozyme specific, I-Ak-restricted T helper hybridomas 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We have studied the relationship between MHC-restricted, Ag-specific recognition and TCR structure in a panel of seven Th-hybridomas specific for the foreign protein Ag, hen egg-white lysozyme, and the I-Ak class II MHC molecule. The fine specificity of these Th cells had been determined previously by their reactivity to a panel of APC lines bearing mutant I-Ak molecules and to proteolytic fragments of HEL. TCR gene segment composition was determined by cDNA cloning and DNA sequencing. A heterogeneous, yet repetitive usage of gene segments was observed within the panel. The same V alpha C10-J alpha MD13 rearrangement was used in three of the hybridomas, two with identical Ag and MHC-restriction fine specificities. The prevalent usage of the V beta 14 gene segment and members of J beta 2 cluster was noted. Inasmuch as gene segment usage did not correlate with MHC-restriction or Ag fine specificity alone, these results favor an interactive Ag model of T-cell recognition, in which Ag and MHC are recognized as a bimolecular complex. 相似文献

A functional analysis was undertaken of the effects of mutating single amino acid residues in the alpha chain of the I-Ak molecule (to alanine; residues 50-79) on the ability of I-Ak transfectants to process and present influenza haemagglutinin to CD4+ T cell clones specific for two major antigenic sites of the HA1 subunit. In each instance, T cells were insensitive to a majority of substitutions in Ak with the exception of a few critical residues that differed for individual T cell clones. But more significantly, the failure of T cell clones to respond to mutant influenza viruses, containing drift substitutions within a T cell recognition site, in association with wild type I-Ak, could be reversed by single substitutions in Ak alpha. A T cell clone specific for HA1 120-139 failed to respond to a laboratory mutant virus (HA1 135 Gly----Arg) whereas optimal responses were observed with a mutant Ak transfectant (Ak alpha 56 Arg----Ala). Similarly, mutant transfectant 62 (Ak alpha 62 Gly----Ala) was able to present a natural variant virus A/TEX/77 to a T cell clone specific for HA1 48-67. We propose that Ak alpha 56 and Ak alpha 62 increase the affinity of association of mutant HA1 peptides for class II and therefore confer T cell recognition of variant viruses. 相似文献

The degree to which processed self-peptides contribute to the stimulation of autoreactive T cells has not been determined. In this study we have analyzed a panel of autoreactive T cell hybridomas from normal C57BL/26 mice produced by fusing peripheral lymph node cells with a variant of the BW5147 thymoma line, which does not express endogenous TCR alpha- and beta-chains. All of the autoreactive hybridomas responded to spleen cells expressing the syngeneic I-Ab allele, but not to allogeneic spleen cells. Although all hybridomas were I-Ab restricted, they demonstrated different patterns of reactivity to a panel of APC expressing I-Ab but derived from different genetic backgrounds. In a panel of APC expressing recombinant I-A molecules, changes in the second half of the first domain, which encodes alpha-helix segments that flank the Ag binding site and directly contact the TCR V regions in proposed models, eliminated reactivity of all hybridomas tested. In addition, most of the autoreactive hybridomas also demonstrated inhibition of reactivity to mutations in the amino half of the first domain of the I-A alpha- and beta-chains, which encodes the beta-pleated sheet of the floor of the Ag-binding groove. To confirm the role of processed peptides in the different patterns of reactivity, APC were incubated with competitor Ag and fixed by glutaraldehyde cross-linking before incubation with the autoreactive T hybridomas. The hybridomas were effectively inhibited by exogenous protein and peptide Ag. These results indicate that processed self-peptides are required to activate the autoreactive T cells. 相似文献

Critical role of iodination for T cell recognition of thyroglobulin in experimental murine thyroid autoimmunity 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

We have used two clonotypically distinct thyroglobulin (Tg)-specific, I-Ak restricted monoclonal T cell populations to investigate the role of thyroid peroxidase-catalyzed iodination in Tg recognition by autoreactive T cells. The results showed that these T cells could recognize Tg only it it was sufficiently iodinated. Unlike normal mouse Tg, noniodinated mouse Tg was unable to induce significant thyroid lesions but could trigger the production of Tg autoantibodies. In these experiments, the importance of T cell recognition of iodination-related epitopes was emphasized by the inability of serum antibodies to distinguish Tg on the basis of iodine content, whether they were induced with normal or noniodinated Tg. Therefore, thyroid peroxidase-dependent modification of Tg would appear to be central to its recognition by autoreactive T cells and hence its capacity to induce autoimmune thyroid lesions. 相似文献

IA mutant functional antigen-presenting cell lines 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
L H Glimcher T Hamano R Asofsky D H Sachs M Pierres L E Samelson S O Sharrow W E Paul 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1983,130(5):2287-2294
We describe a protocol for the selection of mutant cells with an altered pattern of Ia antigenic determinants and antigen-presenting properties from a homogeneous population of functional antigen-presenting cells (APC). The APC line used in this work was obtained by fusing lipopolysaccharide-stimulated B cells from (BALB/c x A/J)F1 donors with cells from the M12.4.1 BALB/c B lymphoma cell line. The resulting hybridomas, including TA3, retained the potent antigen-presenting activity of the parental B lymphoma line and expressed Ia antigens and immune response gene-determined antigen-presenting properties of the A/J type. Mutants of TA3 were obtained by subjecting the cells to negative immunoselection with one monoclonal anti-(alpha) 1-Ak antibody and complement followed by positive immunoselection via electronic cell sorting with a second monoclonal alpha I-Ak or alpha I-Ek antibody. Two types of mutants were obtained. One, A8, appeared to have undergone a fairly limited alteration, since it lost only some of the I-Ak antigenic determinants; the second type appeared to have lost the entire I-Ak molecule but to have retained the I-E molecule. Functional studies with the A8 mutant demonstrated that the loss of a limited number of I-Ak determinants correlated with the loss of a specific I-Ak-encoded restriction element, since A8 failed to present a specific antigen, hen egg lysozyme (HEL), to a HEL-specific I-Ak-restricted T cell hybridoma but retained some capacity to present a second antigen, poly(Glu60Ala30Tyr10) (GAT), to a GAT-specific I-Ak-restricted T cell hybridoma. These results indicate that Ia antigens are the products of immune response gene loci. The availability of such mutants should allow an examination of the relationship between the structure of an Ia molecule and the antigens with which it is co-recognized by T cells. 相似文献

The extracellular domains of MHC class II molecules determine their processing requirements for antigen presentation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have evaluated the relative contributions of the extracellular and cytoplasmic domains of MHC class II molecules in determining the Ag-processing requirements for class II-restricted Ag presentation to T cells. Hybrid genes were constructed to encode a heterodimeric I-Ak molecule in which the extracellular portion of the molecule resembled wild type I-Ak but where the connecting stalk, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of both the alpha- and beta-chain were derived from the class I molecule H-2Dd. Mutant I-Ak molecules were expressed as heterodimeric membrane glycoproteins reactive with mAb specific for wild type I-Ak. Fibroblast and B lymphoma cells expressing either wild type or mutant I-Ak molecules were able to process and present hen egg lysozyme (HEL) and conalbumin to Ag-specific, I-Ak-restricted, T cell hybridomas or clones. The mutant-expressing cells presented native and peptide Ag less efficiently than the wild type-expressing cells, suggesting that the disparity in presentation efficiency was not due to a difference in Ag processing. CD4 interaction was intact on the mutant I-Ak molecules. Presentation of native Ag by mutant and wild type-I-Ak-expressing cells was abolished by preincubation with chloroquine, or after paraformaldehyde fixation. After transfection of a cDNA encoding the gene for HEL, neither mutant nor wild type-I-Ak-expressing cells presented endogenously synthesized HEL to a specific T hybrid. Newly synthesized mutant I-Ak molecules were associated with invariant chain. These data demonstrate the ability of hybrid class II molecules to associate intracellularly with invariant chain and degraded foreign Ag in a conventional class II-restricted processing pathway indicating that the extracellular domains of class II molecules play a dominant role in controlling these Ag-processing requirements. 相似文献

Gene transfer of H-2 class II genes: antigen presentation by mouse fibroblast and hamster B-cell lines 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

We have transferred the mouse Ak alpha and Ak beta genes, which encode the class II I-Ak molecule, into mouse L-cell fibroblasts and hamster B cells. I-Ak molecules are expressed on the surface of both cell types. The L-cell and hamster B-cell I-Ak molecules appear normal by serological analyses and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, the I-Ak molecules on L cells can act as targets for the allogenic T-cell killing of the transformed L cells. The I-Ak molecules in both mouse fibroblasts and hamster B cells can present certain antigens to T-cell helper hybridomas. Thus only class II molecules are required to convert the nonantigen-presenting cell. Accordingly, it will be possible to dissect the structure-function relationships existing between Ia molecules, foreign antigen, and T-cell receptor molecules by in vitro site-directed mutagenesis and gene transfer. 相似文献

The Ag processing and structural requirements involved in the generation of a major T cell epitope from the hen egg-white lysozyme protein (HEL74-88), containing two cysteine residues at positions 76 and 80, were investigated. Several T cell hybridomas derived from both low responder (I-Ab) and high responder (I-Ak) mice recognize this region. These hybridomas are strongly responsive to native HEL, but unresponsive to the reduced and carboxymethylated protein. Air-oxidized HEL74-88 peptide was unable to bind I-Ak molecules and failed to stimulate T cells in the absence of intracellular Ag processing. Further functional competition assays showed that alkylation of cysteine residues with bulky methyl groups interferes with the contacts for the MHC class II molecules (I-Ak) of high responder mice and the I-Ab-restricted TCR of low responder mice. Serine substitutions of the cysteine residues of HEL74-88 either enhanced or abrogated T cell stimulation by the peptides without significant alterations in the class II binding. These results suggest that the cysteine residues of peptides must be free from disulfide bonding for efficient stimulation of T cells and yet frequently used modifications of cysteine residues may not be suitable for peptide-based vaccine development. 相似文献

MHC-restricted, glycopeptide-specific T cells show specificity for both carbohydrate and peptide residues 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We examined the antigenic specificity of two T cell hybridomas elicited against the disaccharide galabiose attached to the fifth residue of the I-Ak binding peptide 52-61 of lysozyme. By making changes in the saccharide molecule and in the peptide, we conclude that the outer galactose residue of the galabiose moiety is directly recognized by the T cells together with the exposed side chains of the peptide. The overall spatial display of this galactose moiety on the 52-61 peptide is likewise important. 相似文献

Anti-I-A mAb were used as probes of functional epitopes for both the presentation of hen egg lysozyme (HEL) peptides to I-Ak-restricted T cell hybridomas and the direct binding of the HEL (46-61) peptide. When mAb directed to polymorphic regions of I-Ak were used as inhibitors of Ag presentation, several different patterns of inhibition were observed among T cells specific for the same HEL peptide as well as among T cells specific for different fragments of HEL. Although there appears to be a conserved usage of some TCR V beta gene segments among the T cell hybrids specific for the same HEL peptide, no correlation is evident between a single V gene usage and susceptibility to blocking of Ag presentation by a particular anti-I-Ak mAb. Several of the mAb demonstrated T cell "clonotypic blocking" of Ag presentation, whereas others blocked presentation to every T cell hybrid tested, regardless of the peptide specificity. When mAb directed to nonpolymorphic regions of the I-A molecule were tested for their ability to block Ag presentation, little or no inhibition was observed. In addition, Fab' fragments of inhibitory mAb functioned identically to their intact homologous counterparts in their ability to block Ag presentation indicating that "nonspecific" steric hindrance was not playing a major role in the inhibitions observed. When the polymorphic region-directed anti-I-A mAb were tested for their ability to block the direct binding of the lysozyme peptide HEL(46-61) to I-Ak, those mAb that block HEL presentation to all T cell hybrids were found to block the binding of this peptide. However, anti-I-A mAb that demonstrate selective inhibition of T cell hybrid stimulation during Ag presentation, i.e., those directed to polymorphic serologic specificities Ia.15 and Ia.19, do not block the binding of HEL(46-61) to I-Ak. These data indicate that functionally independent epitopes exist on the I-Ak molecule for the binding of antigenic peptides and for interaction with the TCR. 相似文献

I-Ak polymorphisms define a functionally dominant region for the presentation of hen egg lysozyme peptides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
E F Rosloniec L J Vitez B N Beck J M Buerstedde D J McKean D Landais C Benoist D Mathis J H Freed 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1989,143(1):50-58
The class II molecules of the MHC not only bind processed antigenic peptides but also interact with the TCR. This latter interaction is thought to be the basis for allele specific "restriction" of Ag presentation to T cells. The specificity of this interaction is likely due to amino acid differences in a small number of polymorphic or "hypervariable" regions located in the amino terminal domains of the alpha- and beta-chains. We have explored the functional significance of these polymorphic regions in an I-Ak-restricted, hen egg lysozyme specific Ag presentation system in which the measurement of IL-2 production by T cell hybridomas was used as the indicator of TCR recognition of the I-A/Ag complex. Chimeric I-A molecules, in which b allelic residues were substituted in one or more of the polymorphic regions of the A alpha k chain or in which d allelic residues were substituted in one or more of the polymorphic regions of the A beta k chain, were used to examine the contribution of each polymorphic region of the molecule to its function. The results obtained demonstrate that the regions between residues 69 to 76 of the A alpha k chain and the regions between residues 63 to 67 and 75 to 78 of the A beta k-chain exert a dominant effect on the presentation of lysozyme peptides by I-Ak to the T cell hybridomas in our panel. These observations were confirmed and extended by the analysis of Ag presentation by seven serologically selected mutants, all of which have amino acid interchanges in or around the dominant polymorphic regions. The results suggest that the serologically selected mutants fail to present Ag not because they fail to bind the peptide Ag but because the amino acid substitutions destabilize the interaction between the Ia/peptide complex and the TCR. Use of the recently published hypothetical model for class II structure to interpret the Ag presentation results suggests that the dominant polymorphic regions lie across from one another near one end of the alpha-helices that form the two walls of the proposed Ag-binding cleft located on the top surface of the class II molecule. Furthermore, the majority of the amino acids which have been changed in the serologically selected mutants have side chains which are postulated to point up toward the exterior of the molecule and would, therefore, be potential contact residues for the TCR. 相似文献

Helper (CD4+) T lymphocytes recognize protein Ag as peptides associated to MHC class II molecules. The polymorphism of class II alpha- and beta-chains has a major influence on the nature of the peptides presented to CD4+ T lymphocytes. For instance, T cell responses in H-2k and H-2b mice are directed at different epitopes of the hen egg lysozyme (HEL) molecule. The current studies were undertaken with the aim of defining the role of mixed haplotype I-A (alpha k beta b and alpha b beta k) molecules in T cell responses to HEL in (H-2k x H-2b)F1 mice, as well as the nature of the immunogenic peptides of HEL recognized in the context of I-A alpha k beta b and I-A alpha b beta k. A series of HEL-reactive T cell lines and hybridomas derived from MHC class II heterozygous (C57BL/6 x C3H F1) mice were established. Their responsiveness to HEL and synthetic HEL peptides was analyzed with the use of L cells transfected with either I-A alpha k beta b or I-A alpha b beta k as APC. Out of 28 clonal T cell hybridomas tested, 13 (46%) only responded to HEL presented by I-A alpha k beta b, 11 (40%) by I-A alpha b beta k (and to a minor extent I-A alpha k beta k), only 4 (14%) were primarily restricted by I-Ak, and none by I-Ab. All the I-A alpha k beta b-restricted T cell hybridomas responded to the HEL peptide 46-61 and to its shorter fragment 52-61, even at concentrations as low as 0.3 nM. As this determinant has been previously defined as immunodominant for I-Ak but not for I-Ab mice, these results suggest a role for the I-A alpha k chain in the selection and immunodominance of HEL 52-61 in H-2k mice. The fine specificity of I-A alpha k beta b-restricted T cell hybridomas for a series of different HEL peptides around the sequence 52 to 61 suggests that peptide 52-61 binds to I-A alpha k beta b with higher affinity than to I-A alpha k beta k. The peptides recognized in the context of I-A alpha b beta k and I-A alpha k beta k were not identified. 相似文献

A single-chain class II MHC-IgG3 fusion protein inhibits autoimmune arthritis by induction of antigen-specific hyporesponsiveness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

T cells play a central role in many autoimmune diseases. A method to specifically target the function of autoreactive T cell clones would avoid the global immunosuppression associated with current therapies. To develop a molecule capable of inhibiting autoreactive T cell responses in vivo, single-chain peptide-I-A-IgG3 fusion proteins were constructed and expressed in both mammalian and insect cells. The fusion proteins were designed with an IgG3 Fc moiety to make them divalent, allowing TCR cross-linking, while lacking FcR binding and costimulation. The fusion proteins stimulated T cell hybridomas in vitro in a peptide-specific, MHC-restricted manner but failed to do so in soluble form. In vivo administration of an I-A(q) fusion protein, containing an immunodominant collagen II peptide, significantly delayed the onset and reduced the severity of collagen-induced arthritis in DBA/1 mice by induction of Ag-specific hyporesponsiveness. Such fusion proteins may be useful to study novel therapeutic approaches for T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Variant lines expressing high and low surface densities of the accessory molecule CD4 have been developed by repeated preparative flow cytometric cell sortings from the murine Th cell clone D10.G4.1 (D10). The high CD4 variant line (D10H) fully maintained the original I-Ak restricted specificity for conalbumin of wild-type D10 cells. In contrast, the low CD4 variant line (D10L) showed a strong autoreactivity to I-Ak carrying stimulator cells alone which was only slightly augmented by addition of conalbumin. Cell surface molecules other than CD4, including TCR, CD3, CD11a, CD2, CD45, CD44, and MHC class I, remained identical on D10H and D10L sublines as on D10 wild-type cells. The possibility that D10L cells had suffered alterations of their TCR-alpha beta was excluded by demonstrating their reactivity with a panel of eight different anti-clonotypic mAb specific for various epitopes of the D10 TCR. By limiting dilution analysis we show that the majority of responding cells of D10L sublines were autoreactive. Although the reactivity for allogeneic I-A also increased as compared with D10H cells, a clear preference for self-I-Ak was maintained so that a true autoreactive phenotype was evident. The results indicate that the surface concentration of CD4 has a decisive influence on self-non-self discrimination of MHC class II-restricted Th cells. 相似文献

To minimize complicating interactions inherent in heterogeneous cell populations, we used a panel of cloned murine autoreactive (E8.A1) and antigen-specific (HEL.C10, HEL.B14) T cell hybridomas to examine the effect of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) on T cell activation. These T cells secrete interleukin 2 (IL 2) when co-cultured with a cloned population of I region-matched stimulator cells (TA3), or with mitogenic signals in the absence of TA3 stimulator cells. Physiologic concentrations of PGE2 inhibited the induction of IL 2 secretion by the T cell hybridomas tested, when they were activated either by TA3 cells or by mitogenic signals. IL 2 production was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by concentrations of PGE2 between 10(-7) and 10(-11) M, with 50% inhibition occurring at 10(-10) M. Pretreatment of the T hybridoma cells with 10(-7) M PGE2 for 1 hr before culture also resulted in marked inhibition of IL 2 secretion. Similar pretreatment of the TA3 cells did not affect their ability to activate the T cell hybridomas. PGE2 at 10(-8) M induced a 30-fold increase in cAMP levels within 25 min of addition to culture of the E8.A1 T cell hybridoma, but caused no significant elevation of cAMP levels in TA3 cells. The direct addition of dibutyryl cAMP (dcAMP) to cultures of E8.A1 cells resulted in marked inhibition of IL 2 secretion when stimulated by TA3 or by mitogenic signals, with an average of 80% inhibition occurring at 10(-4) M dcAMP. PGE2 and dcAMP also inhibited the growth of E8.A1 cells. Initially, cell growth was virtually halted, but began to recover between 24 and 48 hr after the addition of either PGE2 or dcAMP. Neither PGE2 nor dcAMP inhibited the division of TA3 cells. High affinity binding sites for PGE2 were detected in the E8.A1 T cell hybridomas with an apparent Kd of 7.6 X 10(-10) M, which is consistent with the functional data. No specific binding was detected in the TA3 stimulator cells. These findings suggest that the immunosuppressive effects of PGE2 are localized to the T cell, are receptor regulated, and may be mediated by the associated increase of cAMP levels in the T cell hybridomas. 相似文献

The mechanism of MHC-restricted T and B cell interactions in antibody response was studied with IgM-inducible B hybridomas and antigen-specific helper T cell clones. B hybridomas were prepared by fusion between splenic B cells from (CBA/N (H-2k) X BALB/c (H-2d)) F1 (NBF1) male mice and a B lymphoma cell line, M12.4.5. A B hybridoma clone, 1M70, which expressed I-Ad but not I-Ak determinants was chosen in the present study. IgM secretion was induced in 1M70 when it was cocultured with a "resting" KLH-specific and H-2d restricted helper T cell clone in the presence of KLH. A "resting" KLH-specific and H-2k restricted T cell clone did not induce IgM secretion in 1M70 even in the presence of KLH. However, when these KLH-specific T cell clones were activated by KLH and appropriate antigen presenting cells, both H-2d and H-2k restricted T cell clones induced IgM secretion in 1M70 even in the absence of KLH. A monoclonal anti-I-Ad antibody inhibited IgM secretion induced by a "resting" H-2d restricted T cell clone, but not by an "activated" T cell clone. These results indicated that T cell clones recognized antigens in the context of Ia molecules on B hybridomas in a MHC-restricted manner and were activated to produce B cell stimulatory factors which in turn acted on B hybridomas in a non-MHC-restricted manner and induced differentiation of B hybridomas into IgM secreting cells. 相似文献
