Two different kinds of alloreactive T cell hybridomas were established in previous experiments. One is reactive and the other is nonreactive to allogeneic I-A region-associated membrane antigen (mIa) on B cells. In the present experiments the difference between these hybridomas were analyzed by using representative clones, B cell mIa-reactive clone CB-11.4, and nonreactive clone HTB-9.3. Unresponsiveness of HTB-9.3 clone to allogeneic B cells could not be due to the inability of B cells in interleukin 1 production or the density of mIa molecules on B cells. HTB-9.3 clone could respond to C57BL/6 mouse B cells treated with neuraminidase (Nase), and Nase-treated HTB-9.3 clone could respond to normal B cells from C57BL/6 mouse, indicating that sialic acid on both B cells and HTB-9.3 clone plays a regulatory role in the alloreactivity of the clone. In response to B cells from C57BL/6 mouse, T cells from C3H/He mouse spleen showed similar reactivity to HTB-9.3 clone; that is, T cells could respond to Nase-treated B cells, and Nase-treated T cells to B cells, and T cells primed with C57BL/6 spleen cells in vitro showed similar reactivity to CB-11.4 clone. These results suggest that HTB-9.3 clone represents virgin T cells and CB-11.4 clone-primed T cells at least in alloreactivity. Anti-L3T4a was shown to block alloreactivities of both T cell hybridomas and splenic T cells against B cells more efficiently than against splenic adherent cells. These results suggest that L3T4a on T cell plays more important role in allogeneic response to B cells than to splenic adherent cells. 相似文献

B cells and Ia+ thyroid cells fail to stimulate alloreactive T cells in a primary mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) and fail to activate some allo-class II (I-A) reactive T cell hybridomas. We now demonstrate that B cells can specifically stimulate a primary MLR in combination with the phorbol ester, PMA, but not with interleukin 1 (IL 1) or calcium ionophore. The primary MLR induced with B cells plus PMA can be blocked by either monoclonal anti-I-A or anti-L3T4 antibodies. In contrast, thyroid cells that can be induced to express Ia antigens after incubation with interferon-gamma fail to stimulate a primary MLR even in the presence of PMA or IL 1. We confirmed these observations by using the alloreactive T cell hybridoma, HTB-9.3, which does not react to stimulator B cells. In the presence of PMA, however, this I-Ab-specific hybridoma line was able to respond to relevant but not to control stimulator B cells. Furthermore, the response of HTB-9.3 to B cells plus PMA was also blocked by anti-I-A or anti-L3T4 antibody. In contrast to B cells, Ia+ thyroid cells could not activate HTB-9.3 even in the presence of PMA or IL 1. The data indicate that for primary class II restricted allo-responses, B cells provide signals that can be complemented with the phorbol ester PMA, whereas Ia+ thyroid cells do not, suggesting the existence of additional requirements for T cell activation. 相似文献

The role of class II MHC molecules in the activation of class I-reactive T cell hybridomas 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

To examine the role of Ia molecules in T cell responses to allo-class I major histocompatibility antigens, a series of allo-class I-reactive T cell hybridomas was established. Of 134 T cell hybridomas obtained from the fusion of C3H/HeJm or B10.HTT T cells stimulated with C57BL/6 splenocytes, nine T cell hybridomas were reactive to class I antigens and 126 T cell hybridomas were reactive to class II antigens. Six of the nine IL 2-producing T cell hybridomas were further analyzed: five mapped to H-2Kb and the other mapped to H-2Db. Three of these T cell hybridomas, HTB-157.7, HTB-176.10, and HTB-177.2, could react to the EL-4 cell line that expresses H-2Kb and H-2Db class I antigens but lacks class II I-Ab molecules. Furthermore, the activation of these three T cell hybridomas with C57BL/6-derived splenocytes was not blocked by either anti-I-A or anti-L3T4 antibody. In contrast, the other three T cell hybridomas, CB-127.6, CB-221.7, and HTB-102.7, failed to react with EL-4 but reacted with the LB cell line which expresses class I (H-2Kb, H-2Db) and class II (I-Ab) molecules. Although class II molecules were required for activation of the latter clones, there was no apparent I-A allele specificity, suggesting that a relatively nonpolymorphic Ia determinant was involved. The activation of the three latter T cell hybridoma clones with C57BL/6 splenocytes could be blocked completely by either anti-I-A or anti-L3T4 antibody. The data are interpreted in terms of possible T cell receptor models for recognition of class I with nonpolymorphic class II determinants. 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

The proliferation of mitogen-activated primary T cells, antigen-activated memory T cells from mixed leukocyte culture, and antigen-dependent alloreactive T cell clones in response to purified murine recombinant B cell stimulatory factor-1 (also known as interleukin 4) was examined. We found that B cell stimulatory factor-1 (BSF-1) stimulated optimal proliferation of these T cells only after their recent activation by antigen or mitogen. Analysis of cell surface BSF-1 receptor expression indicated that although T cell activation is accompanied by a small increase in BSF-1 receptor expression, the cells also express BSF-1 receptors prior to activation at a time when they do not proliferate in response to BSF-1. BSF-1 was as effective a stimulus as interleukin 2 for inducing proliferation of the Lyt-2+ subpopulation of concanavalin A-activated murine spleen cells and an alloreactive cytolytic T cell clone. However, the L3T4+ subpopulation of concanavalin A-activated spleen and an alloreactive helper T cell clone were less responsive to BSF-1 than to interleukin 2. Taken together, the data indicate an important role for BSF-1 in the regulation of normal T cell proliferation. 相似文献

To gain insight into the nature of the syngeneic T cell-stimulating molecules on SJL lymphoma cells (RCS), a panel of eight Ly-1+2- T cell clones that are specific for transplantable RCS has been generated. All of these clones proliferate vigorously in response to two independent RCS lines and to LPS-activated syngeneic or F1 B cell blasts, but not to unstimulated SJL spleen cells or to allogeneic B cell blasts. Only one RCS-specific clone displays a proliferative response to (SJL X BALB/c) resting spleen cells, suggesting that I-E molecules are not the source of stimulation of RCS-responsive cells. Responses of the T cell clones to both RCS and syngeneic LPS-activated B cells are inhibited by monoclonal antibodies to I-A antigens, and not by antibody to I-E antigens. These findings suggest that RCS-responsive T cells are stimulated either by syngeneic I-As alone, in a form expressed on activated B cells, or by I-As in combination with X, where X is a cell surface antigen present on B cells at certain stages of differentiation. 相似文献

The activation requirements of alloreactive and antigen reactive murine T cells were examined by stimulating class II restricted T cell clones with monoclonal B lymphoma cells. One B lymphoma cell line (T27A) was found to stimulate IL 2 release from some alloreactive T cell clones without stimulating any significant T cell proliferation response. The same B lymphoma cells are capable of stimulating IL 2 release and proliferative responses from other T cell clones. Evidence is presented suggesting that B lymphoma cell stimulation of these T cell clones is largely IL 1 independent and that at least some T cell clones may require activation signals other than Ia, antigen, and IL 1. The addition of exogenous, purified IL 1 to the T cell activation assays was found to have a wide range of stimulatory effects on the proliferative responses of different T cell clones. The absence of comparable IL 1-induced stimulation of IL 2 secretion suggests that IL 1 primarily enhances antigen specific T cell proliferation through mechanisms other than acting as a co-stimulant for IL 2 release. 相似文献

T cell hybridomas respond to conventional peptide Ag associated with self major histocompatibility restriction elements, as well as to alloantigens, activating lectins, and stimulatory forms of mAb by producing lymphokines and undergoing programmed cell death (PCD). We show here that the level of PCD and IL-2 production correlate well in responses to CD3 or allostimulation. The response to minor lymphocyte-stimulatory (Mls) Ag, members of the family of endogenous superantigens, however, are marked by divergence in the levels of the PCD and lymphokine responses. Specifically, PCD in response to Mls activation is achieved poorly despite vigorous IL-2 production. B lymphoma cell stimulators induced PCD in alloreactive T cell hybridomas but not in Mls-reactive T cell hybridomas. This suggests that the absence of PCD in the Mls response is a function of superantigen recognition rather than the stimulator cell type. LPS-preactivated Mls+ stimulators, either splenic B or B lymphoma cells, are shown to trigger PCD in the T cell hybridomas. These results imply that T cell interaction with Mls presented by untreated stimulator cells is not sufficient for induction of PCD and thus is distinct from interactions with conventional Ag. 相似文献

Monoclonal cytotoxic T lymphocyte hybridomas capable of specific killing activity, antigenic responsiveness, and inducible interleukin secretion 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have recently described the production of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) hybridomas that grow continuously in culture, exhibiting constitutive, allospecific (anti-H-2b) killing activity. We now report on the response of these monoclonal CTL hybridomas to specific antigen (H-2Db) and to mitogenic lectins. Both specific antigen and T cell mitogens enhance hybridoma-mediated specific target cell killing. In addition, stimulated, but not unstimulated hybridoma cells secrete considerable amounts of IL 2 into the culture medium. Repeated cloning of the hybridomas provides strong evidence that both killing activity and IL 2 secretion can be attributed to one cell. Unfractionated Con A supernatants, containing IL 2 and other factors known to influence T cell responsiveness, or IL 2-containing media of stimulated hybridomas affect neither the growth nor the lytic activity of the hybridomas. Anti-LFA-1 monoclonal antibody, a potent inhibitor of CTL and CTL hybridoma-mediated target cell lysis, abolishes antigen- or mitogen-induced IL 2 secretion by the CTL hybridomas. Involvement of a single hybridoma receptor in antigen recognition (afferent and efferent) and in initiating IL 2 secretion is proposed. The CTL hybridomas displaying retarded killing activity before the antigenic or mitogenic stimulation appear to represent an intermediate stage in CTL differentiation, reminiscent of "memory" CTL. 相似文献

The use of specific helper T cell clones to study the regulation of isotype expression by antigen-stimulated B cell clones 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J M Teale 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1983,131(5):2170-2177
In order to determine the mechanism by which helper T cells regulate the production of the various immunoglobulin (Ig) classes, a number of helper T cell clones specific for keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) were generated. These helper T cell clones then were used in a modified splenic fragment system whereby cloned helper T cells and a source of B cells were limit-diluted into naive, lethally irradiated recipients. The B cell clones that were subsequently stimulated in such an assay system by the addition of the antigen 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP)-KLH then were tested for the various isotypes produced. The results of these studies indicate that the use of a single helper T cell clone could result in the production of all known Ig isotypes including IgE. Moreover, the use of a single helper T cell clone could result in multiple isotype production by a single B cell clone. However, a comparison of the isotypes secreted by a number of different B cell clones that were stimulated with the same helper T cell clone indicated that a variety of isotypic patterns could be obtained. In addition, it was found that the majority of B cell clones produced in the presence of T cell clones secrete fewer numbers of different isotypes compared with B cell clones generated with a heterogeneous population of T cells. Finally, no evidence could be found for isotype-specific helper T cell clones, although a few of the T cell clones appeared to induce a somewhat restricted isotype pattern in which only two or three different isotypes were observed. 相似文献

Resting B lymphocytes have been credited with inducing T cell tolerance to Ig-derived and monovalent self-Ags that are internalized via the B cell receptor (BCR). These conclusions are predicated upon the assumptions that resting B cells display BCR-associated peptides in class II MHC and that the cells remain quiescent during the course of experimental manipulation. To determine whether resting B cells display BCR-associated epitopes in class II MHC, we devised a sensitive assay that averted potential activation of B cells by Ag and minimized activation by prolonged culture. Ex vivo, Percoll-fractionated B cells expressing a kappa transgene encoding a T cell epitope were cultured with a reactive T cell hybridoma for 12 h. Whereas low density, LPS-activated, and BCR-activated B cells elicited significant IL-2 from the T cell hybridoma, resting high density B cells did not. Parallel results were obtained with normal B cells expressing a second epitope encoded by an endogenous V(H) gene. Anergic B cells, which are uniformly low density, also significantly stimulated the T cell hybridoma. Finally, longer culture periods with normal B cells resulted in a higher degree of B cell activation and significant stimulation of reactive T cell hybridomas. Our results provide evidence that activation of B cells profoundly enhances the processing and presentation of BCR-associated Ags. 相似文献

Capacity of B cells to function as stimulators of a primary mixed leukocyte reaction 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
J I Krieger R W Chesnut H M Grey 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1986,137(10):3117-3123
The capacity of B cells to serve as stimulator cells for a primary mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) was evaluated. Percoll-fractionated B cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and dextran sulfate (L/D) or a B cell stimulatory factor (BSF-1)-containing culture supernatant, and then were fixed before being used as stimulator cells to more precisely define the state of activation associated with MLR stimulatory capacity. It was found that unstimulated B cells or B cells stimulated for 1 day with L/D or BSF-1 were incapable of initiating a primary MLR, whereas B cells incubated for 3 days in L/D were potent stimulators. The differential activity of 1 day L/D- and BSF-1-activated B cells compared with 3 day L/D-activated B cells was not related to the amount of the relevant MHC class I or class II alloantigens on these cell populations, because all three groups had large increments in MHC class II expression in the following order: BSF-1 greater than 3 day L/D greater than 1 day L/D, and had little difference in MHC class I expression. Also, all three populations were capable of stimulating both MHC class I- and class II-specific T cell hybrids. It was concluded that the capacity of 3 day L/D-activated cells to stimulate a primary MLR was due to the elaboration of necessary co-stimulator molecules. We evaluated whether interleukin 1 (IL 1) was the co-stimulator involved. That this was not the case was indicated by two findings. First, 3 day-activated L/D cells failed to express IL 1 activity as measured by a highly sensitive IL 1 assay that utilizes the T cell line D10.G4.1. Second, recombinant IL 1 added to MLR cultures containing 1 day L/D- or BSF-1 activated B cells failed to function as a co-stimulator. In contrast, the phorbol ester PMA was a potent co-stimulator in this system. We conclude from these experiments that appropriately activated B cells can function as stimulators of a primary MLR, and that they elaborate critical co-stimulator molecules, distinct from IL 1, that enable them to function in this regard. 相似文献

Interleukin secretion by B cell lines and splenic B cells stimulated with calcium ionophore and phorbol ester 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

A B cell lymphoma A20.2J and splenic B cells produced an active material to support the proliferation of an interleukin 2 (IL-2)-dependent T cell line, CTLL-2, by stimulation with both calcium ionophore A23187 and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Although the production of the active material was induced by stimulation with A23187 alone in A20.2J cells, both A23187 and PMA were essential for the stimulation of splenic B cells. Neither A20.2J cells nor splenic B cells produced the active material by stimulation with PMA alone. The production was inversely proportional to the concentration of fetal calf serum in culture medium. The active material produced by B cells was indicated to be IL-2 and not B cell-stimulating factor 1 (BSF-1) for the following reasons: 1) the proliferation of CTLL-2 cells in the presence of active material was inhibited by the inclusion of anti-IL-2 receptor or anti-IL-2 in culture medium but not by anti-BSF-1; 2) the material showed no co-mitogenic activity to purified splenic B cells with anti-immunoglobulins and did not support the proliferation of FDC-P2 which are known to grow in the presence of BSF-1; and 3) IL-2 mRNA could be detected in A20.2J and splenic B cells stimulated with A23187 and PMA in Northern blot analysis. Some B cell hybridomas were also shown to produce IL-2 by similar stimulation to A20.2J. Splenic B cells as well as A20.2J cells were able to produce IL-2 by stimulation with anti-immunoglobulins. These results suggest that under certain conditions IL-2 can be produced by splenic B cells, at least some subsets of B cells, and B cell lines. 相似文献

Evidence for effects of interleukin 4 (B cell stimulatory factor 1) on macrophages: enhancement of antigen presenting ability of bone marrow-derived macrophages 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

We have studied the effects of recombinant mouse interleukin 4 (IL 4) (previously known as B cell stimulatory factor 1) on the antigen-presenting ability of murine splenic B cells and bone marrow macrophages. Our assay is based on the induction of antigen-presenting ability in these cells after incubation with IL 4 for 24 hr. The presenting cells were then used to stimulate IL 2 production by antigen-specific, I-Ad-restricted T cell hybridomas, a response mainly dependent on the induction of Ia antigens. Consistent with our previously published data using partially purified natural IL 4, we show here that recombinant IL 4 (but not interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) or IL 1) induces antigen-presenting ability in B cells. Recombinant IL 4 was also found to induce antigen-presenting ability in a cloned, bone marrow derived-macrophage cell line (14M1.4), and in normal bone marrow-derived macrophages. These macrophage populations also respond to IFN-gamma showing enhanced antigen-presenting ability (mediated by increased Ia antigen expression). A small but significant increase in Ia antigen expression was also detected in 14M1.4 macrophages induced with IL 4. However, additional analysis suggested that the effect of IL 4 on 14M1.4 is different from that of IFN-gamma, because IL 4 (but not IFN-gamma) is able to maintain the viability and increase the size of and metabolic activity of bone marrow macrophages. However, IL 4 may not affect all macrophages because the macrophage cell line P388D1, which responds to IFN-gamma, failed to show enhanced antigen-presenting function after stimulation with IL 4. These observations indicate that IL 4, a lymphokine previously considered to be B cell lineage specific, has effects on macrophages and may be involved in their activation. 相似文献

Activation of mouse B cells with lipopolysaccharide in conjunction with anti-immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies results in interleukin 2 (IL2) receptor (IL2-R) expression and IL2 responsiveness. In most studies on the effect of IL2 on antibody production by B cells, polyclonally activated normal B cells or B cell lines established in vitro have been used as indicator cells, thus allowing no direct correlation between the experimental findings and the actual physiological mechanism of IL2 action in antigen-specific B cell response. We employed the splenic fragment culture technique, which measures antibody response on the clonal level, to analyze the effect of purified human recombinant IL2 (rIL2) on the primary antigen-specific Ig response of mouse B cells. Here we report that rIL2 increased the frequency of dinitrophenyl (DNP)-responsive splenic B cells and the amount of Ig secreted per clone. The anti-DNP antibody response was dependent upon interaction of naive B cells with carrier-primed T cells, which apparently provided the signal for IL2-R expression. Recombinant IL2 also facilitated Ig isotype switching by individual clones, suggesting a role for IL2 in activation, maturation, and differentiation of antigen-specific naive B cells in their response to T-dependent antigens. 相似文献

Interleukin 2 (IL 2), which is well established to be a T cell growth factor, has more recently been shown to stimulate B lymphocyte growth and differentiation in vitro. Responsiveness of B and T cells to IL 2 has been associated with expression of a cell membrane IL 2 receptor (IL 2R). To investigate the role of IL 2 in B cell growth and differentiation in vivo, a system was used in which the injection of mice with a goat antibody to mouse IgD (GaM delta) induces polyclonal T-independent B cell proliferation first, and later induces polyclonal T-dependent B cell proliferation and IgG secretion. IL 2R expression by splenic B and T lymphocytes from GaM delta injected mice was studied by a dual label immunofluorescence technique. Although GaM delta was found to be a strong inducer of B cell IL 2R expression in vitro, even in serum-free medium, and stimulated up to 50% of splenic T cells to express considerable quantities of IL 2R in vivo, it failed to induce more than minimal B cell IL 2R expression in vivo. Concanavalin A and bacterial lipid A also induced B cells to express IL 2R to a much greater extent in vitro than in vivo. Although these agents and GaM delta acted synergistically to stimulate B cell IL 2R expression both in vitro and in vivo, a single agent induced B cell IL 2R expression to a considerably greater extent in vitro than did all three agents acting together in vivo. In vitro GaM delta-induced B cell IL 2R expression was not suppressed by inclusion of IL 2 in the culture medium but was suppressed by the presence of 10% normal mouse serum or plasma. These observations suggest that polyclonal T-dependent B cell proliferation and antibody secretion may not require an interaction between B cells and IL 2; the in vivo environment may downregulate IL 2R expression by B cells: and in vivo B cell IL 2R expression and consequently, induction of B cell responsiveness to IL 2, may require stimuli beyond those sufficient to induce B cell IL 2R expression and IL 2 responsiveness in vitro. 相似文献

Retrovirus-mediated immunosuppression. II. FeLV-UV alters in vitro murine T lymphocyte behavior by reversibly impairing lymphokine secretion 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Murine splenocytes and cloned murine T cells were used to study the in vitro immunosuppressive effects of UV-inactivated feline leukemia virus (FeLV-UV) on lymphokine secretion. FeLV-UV can significantly depress the accumulation of IL 2 in cultures of Con A-stimulated C57BL/6 splenocytes and in cultures containing the alloreactive helper T cell clone B6D/2-2m plus Con A. Inhibition of lymphokine accumulation in these cultures could not be attributed to absorption or inactivation of IL 2 by the FeLV-UV or to the FeLV-UV-induced production of substances which interfere with the IL 2 bioassay. Thus, FeLV-UV appears to block production and/or secretion of IL 2 by a direct inhibitory effect on IL 2-secreting murine T lymphocytes. Additional studies indicate that FeLV-UV impairs IL 2 production only if added very soon after lymphocyte contact with lymphokine-inducing agents and that IL 2 secretion resumes when FeLV-UV is removed from the culture. FeLV-UV also impairs accumulation of MAF (interferon-gamma?) in cultures of Con A-stimulated C57BL/6 splenocytes and in cultures containing the alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocyte clone B6D/2-7c plus Con A. The latter observation again suggests that FeLV-UV impairs lymphokine secretion by a direct effect on lymphokine-producing T lymphocytes. Furthermore, it suggests that FeLV-UV does not selectively impair production of IL 2 nor does it have selective inhibitory effects on helper T cells. Rather, FeLV-UV appears to have a general inhibitory effect on lymphokine production by T lymphocytes. Finally, concentrations of FeLV-UV which suppress MAF production by the CTL clone have little influence on the cytolysis mediated by the same cloned T cell population. Thus, the immunosuppressive influence of FeLV-UV is selective for phenomena associated with induction of new T lymphocyte functions, such as lymphokine secretion, and spares other immune functions already expressed by the same cells. 相似文献

The response of T cells to minor lymphocyte-stimulating locus (Mls) determinants remains poorly understood with respect to the antigenic determinants responsible for T cell stimulation and the types of APC capable of stimulating the response. In this report, we demonstrate that highly purified dendritic cells (DC) as well as B cells have the capacity to stimulate Mls-specific responses. Unseparated spleen cells, purified DC, resting B cells, and activated B cells were compared for their capacity to stimulate several Mls-reactive T cell hybridomas. Whereas the entire panel of Mls-reactive T cell hybridomas was stimulated strongly by unseparated spleen cells and activated B cells, the hybridomas responded only weakly to purified DC or resting B cells. Activation of resting B cells with either B cell stimulatory factor-1 (1 day pre-treatment) or LPS/dextran (2 or 3 day pre-treatment) greatly augmented their Mls-stimulatory capacity. In contrast, the Mls-stimulatory capacity of DC was not augmented by a 1-day pre-treatment with either B cell stimulatory factor-1 or supernatant from the DC-induced primary anti-Mls-MLR. In the primary anti-Mls-MLR, both purified DC and LPS/dextran-stimulated B blasts were found to elicit vigorous T cell proliferative responses. Much weaker responses were elicited by unseparated spleen cells. The stimulation of the primary anti-Mls-MLR by purified DC was further confirmed by producing Mls-specific T cell clones which were preferentially stimulated by DC. Autologous (Mlsb) DC were found to markedly enhance the primary anti-Mls-MLR response to small numbers of Mlsa B blasts. Thus, DC possess other "accessory cell" properties that augment the primary anti-Mls-MLR despite the predicted low level of Mls determinant expression on DC based on the results obtained with Mls-reactive hybridomas. Possible accessory cell properties of DC relevant to this phenomenon are discussed. 相似文献

In this study, we have investigated the ability of splenic B cells to act as antigen-presenting cells. Previous data had established that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated B cells were effective antigen-presenting cells; however, the relative capacity of resting B cells to carry out this function remains controversial. Splenic B cells from naive BALB/c mice were depleted of macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells, and were fractionated on the basis of cell density by using Percoll gradient centrifugation. Fractions were collected from the 50/60, 60/65, and 65/72% interfaces and from greater than 72% (pellet). Cytofluorograph analysis of the fractionated B cells showed that the two lower density fractions (50/60 and 60/65) contained a number of cells which, by cell size determination, appeared to be activated B cells, whereas the two higher density fractions (65/72 and greater than 72) appeared to contain predominantly small resting B cells contaminated by many fewer activated B cells. Functionally, the capacity of fractionated B cells to act as accessory cells for a concanavalin A response or present the antigens chicken ovalbumin (OVA) or OVA-tryptic digest gave similar results, which indicated a striking hierarchy of accessory cell function in the different Percoll fractions. When normalized to the most active low-density fraction (50/60%), the activity of the other fractions were: 60/65 = 78%; 65/72 = 25%; and greater than 72 = 4%. The differences in the functional capacity between the various Percoll fractions did not appear to be due to differences in Ia expression. Although the expression of Ia varied approximately 12-fold within any one fraction, there was little difference in the mean amount of Ia on cells obtained from the various fractions. Kinetic studies showed that activation of B cells with LPS and dextran sulfate resulted in the expression of two stages of functional development. The first stage was an increased efficiency of accessory cell function that was abrogated by irradiation with 4000 rad followed by a second stage, which was characterized by the acquisition of resistance to treatment with 4000 rad. When nonfractionated B cells that had been stimulated with LPS and DexSO4 were sorted on the basis of cell size into a small B cell fraction and a large B cell fraction, only the large B cells were able to present antigen. Taken together, these data suggest that much of the accessory cell function associated with splenic B cells can be accounted for by the relatively small percentage of activated B cells present in the spleen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

To determine the effect of distinct activation stimuli on CD45 expression by B cells, we have examined the expression of CD45 molecules on murine B cells stimulated with LPS or the Th cell cytokine IL-5. Analysis of CD45 by flow cytometry revealed that unstimulated and stimulated B cells expressed homogeneous amounts of total CD45 but that stimulation with IL-5 resulted in a CD44hi, hyaluronate-adherent subpopulation of activated B cells that expressed a markedly altered pattern of expression of exon-specific CD45R or B220 determinants. The predominant CD45 immunoprecipitated from either unstimulated or LPS-stimulated B cells was of the high molecular mass form (approximately 220 kDa) usually associated with B cells. In contrast, the CD45 proteins immunoprecipitated from the hyaluronate-adherent subpopulation of IL-5-activated B cells were predominantly lower m.w. forms. PCR analysis of amplified CD45 cDNA also showed distinct expression profiles characteristic of each B cell population. The highest molecular size PCR product, corresponding to expression of all three variably expressed CD45 exons (A, B, and C) was prominent in resting B cells and in LPS-activated B cells but was selectively reduced in hyaluronate-adherent IL-5-activated B cells, where lower molecular size PCR products predominated, corresponding to expression of one or two of the variable exons. In contrast, LPS-activated B cells expressed reduced levels of these one- or two-exon forms. In addition, all B cell populations expressed a lower m.w. PCR product corresponding in size to the product expected when exons A, B, and C are spliced out of CD45 mRNA. Thus, analysis of alternative splicing of CD45 mRNA, as well as cell surface expression of CD45 provides a novel parameter for analysis of B cell activation by different stimuli. 相似文献
