Secondary delayed-type hypersensitivity to sheep red blood cells in mice: a long-lived memory phenomenon 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Immunization of mice with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) can induce the capacity to react with a secondary delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) immune response upon a booster injection of the antigen. In this paper the kinetics of secondary DTH after intravenous (iv) immunization with various doses of SRBC was studied by means of the foot swelling test. Dose-response studies showed that maximal secondary DTH responsiveness was obtained by iv administration of a priming dose of 3 × 104 SRBC and a booster dose of 3 × 105 SRBC 2 months later. Secondary DTH in such treated mice was characterized by an earlier appearance of the state of DTH, an earlier peak reactivity, and an increased intensity of the DTH response as compared to the primary DTH response. Up to 1 year after priming, a secondary DTH could be elicited, indicating the long-lived character of this memory phenomenon. With increasing intervals between the priming and booster injection, a gradual shift to a later time, of the peak secondary DTH reactivity was found. The capacity of primed mice to react with an increased intensity upon a booster injection could be adoptively transferred into lethally irradiated recipients by means of spleen cells obtained from primed mice. This phenomenon appeared to be highly dependent on Thy 1.2+ cells and on the booster dose of SRBC. The DTH reaction, evoked in such recipients, showed a prolonged time course. 相似文献

The conditions for induction of memory cells (B-MC) and evocation of the secondary antibody (Ab) response in tissue cultures
(TC) were estimated.(1) In vivo primed B-MC cells were isolated 6–150 d after priming and stimulated in TC with different doses of sheep red blood cell (SRBC)
antigen. The Ab response has a strict time and dose dependence: only small doses (105) evoke a secondary response, high doses (108, 109) a state of immediate tolerance. (2) Antigen added to TC directly with B-MC rescued their Ab production for a long period.
Addition of the antigen 1 or 2 d after setting the TC, follows the Ab-response decay, comparable with virgin cells (B-ICC).
(3) Primed B-MC stimulated in TC responded preferentially with an IgM secondary response; the same cell suspension adoptively
transferred into isologous recipients switched into IgG cells. (4) Virgin, immunocompetent, B-ICC were primarily stimulated in TC with a small dose of antigen (105 SRBC); after 7 d of cultivation the cells were transferred into isologous recipients, SCID mice and into TC. In all cases,
the secondary response of IgM was determined, 10 times higher than in the primary controls. 相似文献

A synthetic analogue of Escherichia coli lipoprotein, tripalmitoyl pentapeptide, constitutes a potent immune adjuvant 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Lipoprotein from the outer membrane of Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae constitutes a potent B lymphocyte mitogen and polyclonal activator in various species. Tripalmitoyl pentapeptide (S-(2,3-bis-(palmitoyloxy)-(2RS)-propyl)-N-palmitoyl-(R)-cysteinyl -(S)-seryl-(S)-seryl-(S)-asparaginyl-(S)-alanine) is a synthetic analogue of the N-terminal part of lipoprotein and has, in all assays tested, a biologic activity similar to native lipoprotein. It also exhibits a strong adjuvant activity in vitro: In the presence of 3.3 to 33.3 micrograms/ml of tripalmitoyl pentapeptide, the stimulation of the primary antibody response toward underivatized sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and toward trinitrophenylated (TNP-) SRBC was markedly enhanced, as measured by a direct hemolytic plaque assay. At optimal mitogen- and antigen-doses, plaque formation was increased up to 100-fold, and at suboptimal doses (0.03 to 0.3 microgram/ml) a 10- to 60-fold increase of plaque numbers was achieved. In the presence of tripalmitoyl pentapeptide, the antigen-specific IgM response was increased about sevenfold and the IgG response was augmented about 10-fold, as measured by ELISA. Similarly, in the secondary in vitro response to TNP-SRBC, a 7 to 10-fold enhancement of the antibody titer was obtained in the presence of the adjuvant. The application of tripalmitoyl pentapeptide and antigen had to occur concurrently in order to achieve a strong adjuvant effect. Addition of tripalmitoyl pentapeptide to the cell cultures 1 day after or 1 day before antigen application had no significant positive effect, and in several instances a decrease in antibody production was found. Thus, tripalmitoyl pentapeptide, a well-characterized synthetic product available in major amounts, constitutes a potent immune adjuvant for potential animal and clinical use. 相似文献

Intact lipopolysaccharides (LPS), considered nonspecific enhancers of B cell responses, as well as nontoxic derivatives from Serratia marcescens LPS, were studied with regard to their ability to stimulate in vitro immune responses to a T-dependent antigen, sheep erythrocytes. Intact LPS, at a dose of 10 to 50 microgram, consistently enhanced the in vitro anti-SRBC immune response by normal splenocytes. The LPS also increased the background PFC response to SRBC in nonimmunized cultures. A chemically detoxified preparation derived from LPS (Mex B) had no stimulatory activity in vitro. A completely nontoxic, relatively small m.w., polysaccharide-rich preparation (PS), free of detectable lipid and protein, was stimulatory in vitro and at a dose of 10 microgram resulted in a 40 to 70% enhancement of the anti-SRBC response. The PS also stimulated an enhanced background response to SRBC as well as several other RBC species in nonimmunized cultures. PS had no mitogenic effect in vitro since addition of this bacterial derivative failed to stimulate thymidine incorporation into mouse splenocytes, as occurred with the intact LPS. The use of nontoxic preparations from gram-negative bacterial LPS for dissecting the stimulatory vs antigenic properties of bacterial products provides a model system for determining the role of a mitogenic stimulus in B cell activation. 相似文献

Groups of mice were injected with different quantities of sheep red blood cells (SRBC: 108, 109 and 1010) and simultaneously with different quantities of antibodies against SRBC. The response was tested 15 and 30 days after the
primary dose and 4 days after the secondary response. The action of antiserum regulates the quantity of antigen available
for the immunization process. With a large dose of antiserum it is possible to inhibit the primary, as well as the secondary
response. A smaller dose of antiserum suppresses primary antibody formation but the process of preparing the secondary response
is not inhibited. An inhibitory dose of antiserum injected 24 and 48 hours after antigen significantly depresses the primary
response but is followed by a pronounced secondary response. When the antigen is bound 24 and 48 hours after the primary stimulus,
the secondary response is only of the 19S type. If the antigen is present at least 72 hours after the primary dose of antigen
cells forming 7S antibodies appear also in the secondary response. Experimental data support the hypothesis that there is
a common precursor cell for the 19S and 7S Ab-forming cell; during limited proliferation the cellular basis for the 19S secondary
response and with intensive proliferation (only after 6 or 7 generations) the precursors for 7S antibody forming cells, appear.

A solubilized sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antigen (supernatant fraction obtained by centrifuging 107-2 × 108 sonicated SRBC at 6 × 104 g for 30 min [Sup-SRBC]), whose ability to inhibit anti-SRBC plaque formation was 70% of that of the original sonicated SRBC, was unable to elicit a detectable antibody response in either unprimed or SRBC-primed mice. However, Sup-SRBC as well as intact SRBC antigens generated memory for the secondary response, which was transferable to irradiated syngeneic recipients by injection of immune spleen cells. The memory generated by Sup-SRBC involved helper memory for anti-trinitrophenyl group (TNP) response to challenge with TNP-conjugated SRBC. Increase in the helper T cell memory in the spleens of Sup-SRBC-primed mice was also demonstrated by an in vitro culture experiment and by an adoptive cell transfer experiment. In contrast, no detectable B cell memory was generated by Sup-SRBC. Repeated stimulation with Sup-SRBC never induced significant antibody response but reduced the level of memory. A single injection of a low dose (106) of SRBC also failed to induce a definite primary antibody response generating memory for the secondary response. However, repeated stimulation with this dose of SRBC induced a high antibody response and generated good memory. From these results it is suggested that the intact structure of SRBC is required for the activation of B cells, but is not necessary for the stimulation of T cells. 相似文献

It has been shown that subcutaneous injection of pentagastrin to mice in doses 0.01-5 micrograms per animal during 10 days resulted in a considerable stimulation of the immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Pentagastrin in doses of 5 and 1 micrograms per animal was demonstrated to have the highest immunostimulating effect. These doses increased the production of IGM-antibody-forming cells 2.2-2.7-fold and produced a twofold elevation of the antibody titer. Pentagastrin did not influence the immune response to thymus independent Vi-antigen. The in vitro treatment of mouse bone marrow cells with pentagastrin (0.1 or 0.01 microgram/ml) increased the number of Thy-1 positive cells from 0 to 16-17%. Pentagastrin at a dose of 0.001 microgram/ml was not effective. 相似文献

The effect of Bordetella pertussis lymphocytosis-promoting factor (LPF) on antibody response in mice: its enhancing and suppressive effects 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of lymphocytosis-promoting factor (LPF) on antibody response in mice was estimated under different sets of experimental conditions. Four- and 6-week-old mice were intravenously inoculated with LPF. Three days later these mice were inoculated either intraperitoneally or intravenously with sheep red blood cell (SRBC) or human serum albumin (HSA) as an antigen. The adjuvant effect of LPF was demonstrated on antibody response in 6-week old mice to intraperitoneally inoculated SRBC but not to intravenously-inoculated one. When 4-week-old mice were immunized, hemagglutinin production in response to intraperitoneally inoculated SRBC was not enhanced by LPF. In addition, a rather suppressive effect of LPF at a comparatively high dose was demonstrated on hemagglutinin production in response to intravenously inoculated SRBC. Anti-HSA production was enhanced by inoculation of LPF in any combination of the mouse age and the route of antigen administration. These findings indicate that the adjuvant effect of LPF on antibody response in mice depends upon experimental conditions: the age of mice, the quality of antigen and the route of antigen administration used for immunization. 相似文献

The effects of cholera toxin (CT) on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were studied in mice sensitized by intranasal administration of SRBC. CT (1 μg/mouse), given intranasally together with SRBC (2 × 107/mouse), induced a maximally enhanced DTH response, which reached its peak around 7 days after sensitization, and also induced an accelerated DTH response upon a second administration of SRBC 28 days later. The ability of CT to enhance the DTH to SRBC was lost, either when CT was administered via the intraperitoneal or subcutaneous route, or when CT was introduced into the nasal site from which a large proportion of the SRBC was discharged 2 days after SRBC administration. These results indicate that the cells that are located in the nasal site and participate in the earlier events of DTH response were most affected by CT. The following effects of CT on the earlier events, which occur within 24 hr after the intranasal administration of both CT and SRBC, appeared to be involved in the mechanisms by which CT enhances DTH to SRBC: (i) facilitation of the penetration of the antigen into the nasal tissue; (ii) reinforcement of the migration of immunocompetent cells from the blood to the nasal tissues; (iii) promotion of the ability of Ia-positive macrophages to present the antigenic determinants to T cells; (iv) facilitation of the differentiation of primed T cells to DTH-effector T cells. 相似文献

An attempt was made to determine if there is any common mechanism in the enhanced antibody response caused either by injection of adjuvant, such as bacterial endotoxin (LPS) and complexed polynucleotides, or by secondary antigenic stimulation. LPS inoculated in mice 4 days before injection of sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and polyA:U invalidated the adjuvant effect of polyA:U injected together with SRBC, and the hemolysin plaque-forming cell (PFC) response of such mice was similar to that of the mice which received SRBC alone. When mice primed with SRBC 24 days in advance were injected with LPS and 4 days later re-stimulated with SRBC, their PFC response to the secondary stimulation was suppressed to less than one tenth of the normal secondary PFC response. The suppressive effect of LPS on the secondary antibody response was abolished if the serum collected from mice injected with LPS was given to the primed and LPS-injected mice at the time of the secondary antigenic stimulation. From these results we discussed the possibility that some common mediator might play a role in the enhanced antibody response elicited by either adjuvant injection or secondary injection of antigen. 相似文献

Antigenic markers on mouse lymphoid cells: origin of cells mediating immunologic memory 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Specific antisera were used for the purification of thymus dependent and thymus independent or bursa equivalent lymphoid cells in the mouse. Spleen cells from mice immune to sheep erythrocytes, a thymus dependent antigen, or to E. coli 055:B5 lipopolysaccharide, a thymus independent antigen, were treated with anti-θ (C3H) serum or anti-MBLA serum and complement prior to their adoptive transfer into lethally irradiated syngeneic recipients. Syngeneic thymocytes, bone marrow cells, or spleen cells from nonimmune donors were appropriately added to antiserum treated cells prior to transfer. The secondary response to these antigens was assayed in recipient spleens six days after cell transfer. The kinetics of the primary response to SRBC was investigated as to its effect on origin of specific hyper-reactive T or B lymphoid cells.The adoptive response to CPS originated in the B lymphoid cell population. Immunologic memory to CPS was demonstrated in recipients of immune cells, compared to recipients of normal cells, by a five fold increase in antibody forming cells.The IgM and IgG adoptive immune response to high doses of SRBC depended upon an increased number of specifically hyper-reactive T-lymphoid cells to facilitate cooperation between T and B lymphocytes. High doses of SRBC initially stimulated T cell memory but at 42 days after priming an increased number of specifically hyper-reactive B lymphoid cells were present. 相似文献

Mouse bone marrow is barely capable of plaque-forming cell (PFC) activity during the primary response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC). However, during secondary-type responses, it becomes the major organ, containing IgM, IgG, and IgA PFC. In the present paper, the influence of splenectomy (Sx) upon the secondary bone marrow PFC response to SRBC was investigated. When previously primed mice were splenectomized just before the second intravenous (iv) injection of SRBC, the effect of Sx upon the height of the bone marrow PFC response was dependent on the booster dose. Sx just before a booster of 106 SRBC iv almost completely prevented bone marrow PFC activity, whereas an iv booster dose of 4 × 108 SRBC evoked a normal IgM, IgG, and IgA PFC response in Sx mice. Apparently low doses of iv administered antigen require the spleen in order to evoke antibody formation in the bone marrow. Experiments with parabiotic mice, consisting of Sx and sham-Sx mice, showed that this facilitating influence of the spleen upon bone marrow antibody formation occurs via the blood stream. In a subsequent study, it was investigated whether the spleen is required throughout the bone marrow PFC response or only during the few days of the initiation phase. Therefore, mice were splenectomized at different intervals after a booster injection of 106 SRBC iv. It appeared that Sx 2 days after the booster injection could still prevent the normal bone marrow PFC activity, whereas Sx at Day 4 could no longer do so. Apparently, after an iv booster injection, the spleen is only required for initiation of the bone marrow PFC response and not for the maintenance of this PFC activity thereafter. 相似文献

SRBC tolerance was induced in mice (CBA X C57BL/6) F1 by single intraperitoneal injection of 6 X 10(9) SRBC and of cyclophosphamide (100-200 mg/kg) in 44-46 hours. Spleen cells of tolerant mice obtained at various periods after the tolerance induction (in 12-26 days) failed to decrease their immune response to SRBC after administration to intact syngeneic recipients. Contrary to intact mice, tolerant animals were incapable of producing suppressor cells after a single SRBC immunization. Only when 3 additional injections of high SRBC doses (6 X 10(9)) were given to tolerant mice the spleen cells in them acquired the capacity to inhibit the immune response after administration to normal mice. It is supposed that the absence of suppressor cells in induction of the immunological tolerance by means of cyclophosphane was caused by the processes of clone elimination. Suppressor cells can originate in tolerant animals under the effect of intensive antigenic stimulation, this leading to enhancement of the tolerance state as a result of additional SRBC injections. 相似文献

Specific immunization protocols have been established for the induction of murine bone marrow IgA responses to the T cell-dependent (TD) antigen sheep red blood cells (SRBC). Systemic immunization, either i.p. or i.v., followed by a second injection, induced splenic IgM and IgG responses and a bone marrow IgM response. No significant IgA responses were observed in either lymphoid tissue compartment. Oral immunization with SRBC by gastric intubation for 2 days, followed 1 wk later by an i.p. injection of SRBC resulted in a splenic IgA plaque-forming cell (PFC) response, but did not elicit a bone marrow IgA response. Repeated daily gastric intubation of SRBC to C3H/HeN and C3H/HeJ mice led to the previously reported pattern of systemic unresponsiveness in C3H/HeN mice and good anamnestic type IgM, IgG, and IgA splenic anti-SRBC PFC responses in the C3H/HeJ strain upon parenteral challenge. Oral administration of SRBC for 14 days to C3H/HeN mice, followed by systemic SRBC challenge, resulted in diminished splenic PFC responses of all isotypes, whereas gastric intubation of SRBC for 28 days led to complete systemic unresponsiveness to antigen in C3H/HeN mice. Interestingly, the repeated oral administration of SRBC resulted in significant bone marrow IgA PFC responses upon i.p. challenge in both C3H/HeN and C3H/HeJ mouse strains. The bone marrow IgA responses were clearly dependent upon chronic oral exposure to SRBC, because gastric intubation with SRBC for 2 consecutive days/wk for 10 wk also induced bone marrow and splenic IgA anti-SRBC PFC responses in C3H/HeN mice. These results suggest that memory B cells reside in the bone marrow of orally immunized mice and can yield anamnestic-type responses to challenge with the inducing antigen. The memory cells may arise in the Peyer's patches of the gut and migrate to the bone marrow. The possibility that the bone marrow is a component of the common mucosal immune system in mammals is suggested by this study. 相似文献

The present paper describes the effect of juvenile hormone III (JH III) upon vitellogenin (Vg) gene expression in cardioallatectomized females of Blattella germanica. Northern blot analyses of time course studies showed that Vg mRNA can be detected 2 h after the treatment with 1 microgram of JH III. Western blot analyses revealed that Vg protein is detectable 4 h after the same treatment. The study of the influence of the age showed that 48-h-old females seem more sensitive than 24-h-old females, whereas differences were less apparent between 48- and 72-h-old females. Dose-response studies indicated that 0.01 microgram of JH III is ineffective, whereas the doses of 0.1, 1 and 10 micrograms induced the synthesis of Vg in a dose-dependent fashion. Finally, the administration of three successive doses, of 0.01 microgram of JH III each, did not result in detectable Vg production, whereas two doses of 0.01 microgram followed by one of 1 microgram of JH III induced a greater response than that resulting from a sole dose of 1 microgram of JH III, which suggests that sub-effective doses of JH III elicit a priming effect on Vg production. 相似文献

Synergistic effects of two synthetic adjuvants, dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide (DDA) and dextran sulfate (DXS) on the humoral response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were investigated. Mice received intraperitoneal (ip) injections of adjuvant and antigen simultaneously. The number of plaque-forming cells (PFC) in the spleen were determined 5 days later and circulating anti-SRBC antibodies were measured till 16 weeks after immunization. Although combinations of DDA and DXS were very effective in enhancing the PFC response to both moderate (2 X 10(7] and low (2 X 10(6] doses of SRBC, synergy between the adjuvants was only observed at the low dose of SRBC. Optimal augmentation of the primary response to the low antigen dose was evoked by the combination of the highest dose tested of either adjuvant (1 mumol DDA and 1 nmol DXS) resulting in a 560-fold increase of the number of PFC in the spleen as compared to controls. Even combinations of relatively small amounts of both adjuvants were very effective in augmenting the response to SRBC. Mice receiving half the amounts of both adjuvants with 2 X 10(6) SRBC displayed increased numbers of PFC in the spleen at Day 5 as well as increased titers of total anti-SRBC antibodies at Week 1 and Week 2 and 2-mercaptoethanol-resistant antibodies from Week 4 till Week 16 as compared to the calculated sum of responses in mice which received either DDA (0.05 mumol per mouse) or DXS (0.05 nmol per mouse). The mechanism behind the synergy between these adjuvants is discussed and the possibility of discerning adjuvants on their modes of action is suggested. 相似文献

The effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on electroconvulsive shock (ECS)-induced amnesia in passive avoidance response was studied in rats. In normal rats, CCK-8 in doses from 1 ng to 1 microgram had no effect on the response when injected before the training trials, immediately after foot shock or before the first retention test. However, proglumide, a CCK-8 receptor blocker, induced marked amnesia when injected in doses from 0.1 to 10 micrograms before the training trials and in doses of 1 and 10 micrograms before the first retention test, though not subsequent to foot shock. ECS given immediately after the foot shock caused amnesia in the 24 hr and 48 hr retention tests, which could have been prevented by CCK-8 injected in doses of 10 ng to 1 microgram prior to the training trials, of 10 ng to 1 microgram following ECS and of 0.1 and 1 microgram before the first retention test. In addition, the effects of CCK-8 and proglumide became pronounced following chronic ICV infusion, using an osmotic minipump, for 7 days at a dose of 1 ng/day and 10 ng/day, respectively. The amnesia induced by proglumide was not affected by arginine vasopressin (AVP), while AVP in doses of 10 ng and 100 ng given 30 min before the training trials prevented ECS-induced amnesia. The antiamnesic effect of AVP was abolished by simultaneous administration of proglumide. On the other hand, AVP-antiserum produced marked amnesia which could be antagonized by CCK-8. However, the antiamnesic effect of CCK-8 was not suppressed by AVP-antiserum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Role of antigen-specific B cells in the induction of SRBC-specific T cell proliferation 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
In this study, we ask whether antigen presentation can be effected by antigen-activated B cells. Antigen-dependent in vitro proliferation of T cells from mice primed with SRBC or HoRBC occurs in the presence of B cells primed to the relevant antigen. B cells prepared from lymph nodes of mice primed with irrelevant antigens are not effective antigen-presenting cells for RBC-specific T cell proliferation over a wide range of SRBC doses. This is true even when both RBC and the antigen to which the B cells are primed are included in the culture. In contrast, B cells specific for a hapten determinant coupled to SRBC are able to support proliferation of T cells specific for SRBC determinants. We conclude from these data that antigen-specific B cells play a role in the induction of T cell proliferative responses to SRBC and HoRBC antigens. Two models are proposed: either B cells, upon antigen interaction with surface antibody, are able to act as accessory cells to induce Ia-dependent proliferation of immune T cells; or B cells augment the T cell proliferative response by secretion of antibody, leading to opsonization of the antigen for macrophage uptake and presentation. 相似文献

The role of membrane IgD in immune responses was examined by treating adult rats with anti-IgD. Anti-IgD when administered to rats in conjunction with optimal or suboptimal doses of either SRBC, a T-dependent antigen, or DNP-Ficoll, a T-independent antigen, enhanced the antibody responses. The greatest enhancement was obtained when anti-IgD was administered before the antigen. The effects of anti-IgD on antibody responses to SRBC were: (i) significant antibody responses to suboptimal antigen concentrations; (ii) greater antibody responses to optimal antigen concentrations; (iii) accelerated antibody responses; (iv) an early shift from IgM to IgG antibodies; (v) prolonged antibody responses. Similar effects on the immune response to DNP-Ficoll were observed with the exception that all antibodies were 2ME sensitive (IgM). These results suggest that an anamnestic type of immune response can be induced in anti-IgD-treated rats when given a primary antigen exposure. Injection of anti-IgD without SRBC or DNP-Ficoll induces B-cell proliferation without detectable antibody production to these antigens, indicating at least two signals are required for the enhanced antibody responses. 相似文献

The endogenous colony formation and immunogenesis in mice of CBA and C57BL strains immunized with various doses of sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were studied. An absolute or relative increase of antibody forming cells under the action of growing SRBC dose from 2.10(7) to 2.10(8) as well as a decrease following 2.10(9) dose administration were noted. The number of endogenous hemopoietic spleen colonies augmented depending on increased antigen dose. Strain differences in the number of endogenous spleen colonies remained. It is suggested that the stimulation mode of hemopoietic lines is based on a specific RES blockade by SRBC resulting in enhanced proliferative effect of stem cells. 相似文献
