The effects of aging on cellular and molecular components of the 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl acetyl-specific suppressor T (Ts) cell circuit were analyzed in vitro using inducer (Ts1), transducer (Ts2), and effector (Ts3) cells and activating factors (TsF1 and TsF2) derived from young or old mice. The activation of Ts2 cells by TsF1 and of Ts3 cells by TsF2 was found age-restricted, suggesting a loss of Ts2 and Ts3 cell subsets in old mice. However, the activation of Ts3 cells by small amounts of TsF2 is more efficient when both are derived from old rather than from young mice while the same level of maximum suppression is attained. Higher affinity of the interactions involved in Ts cell activation may compensate for loss of Ts cell subsets in old mice. No age restriction was found for antigen presentation to Ts1 cells and for the interaction between Ts3 cells and target B cells. Thus, the effects of aging on immunosuppression result from changes within the Ts cell circuit. 相似文献

The ability of the idiotype (Id)-specific second-order T suppressor factor (TsF2) to interact with a final effector Ts cell type other than the previously reported third-order Ts (Ts3) subset was studied in the phenyltrimethylamino (TMA) hapten system. Hence, mice were primed with unrelated heterologous haptens to induce the nonspecific T acceptor (Tacc) cells following published procedures. When enriched T cell populations containing these nonspecific Ts were briefly incubated in vitro with TMA-TsF2, they produced suppression upon adoptive transfer into cyclophosphamide-treated mice which had been previously immunized for TMA-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity. Despite the fact that the effector population studied in this report also required Id-binding TsF2 for its function, it differs markedly from the Ts3 subset studied previously in the TMA system. First, the cell type studied herein could be easily generated with noncrossreacting heterologous chemically reactive haptens when applied directly to the skin of mice. Furthermore, these Ts effector cells had no detectable intrinsic receptors for homologous haptens and most importantly, unlike Ts3, this population had no affinity for the TMA hapten. Nevertheless, the nonspecifically induced Ts once activated by TsF2 suppresses TMA-directed, but not similar immune responses specific for heterologous haptens. Thus the results indicate that TsF2 can functionally interact with a final effector Ts subset (very similar to the Tacc) other than the well described Ts3 population. The ramifications of these findings are discussed with reference to a generalized view of the cellular basis of terminal phases of immune suppression. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (mAb), B16G, was raised from BALB/c mice immunized with affinity-purified T suppressor factors (TsF) specific for the murine mastocytoma P815. This mAb was found to bind to polyclonal TsF isolated from the spleens of tumor-bearing animals, and to the TsF released from a P815-specific T cell hybridoma. In this study, B16G was tested for its reactivity with TsF produced in the 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl acetyl hapten system. The factors from three types of suppressor T cell hybridomas, each representing the immortalized analogues of the inducer T suppressor cell (Ts1), transducer suppressor cell (Ts2), and effector suppressor cell (Ts3) network populations, were tested. B16G was found to be reactive with two sources of TsF1 as assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and delayed-type hypersensitivity bioassay. By contrast, TsF2 and TsF3 were nonreactive with B16G. These results indicate that B16G recognizes class-specific suppressor factor determinants, and that the transducer/effector factors of the network are apparently serologically distinct. Because the B16G mAb fails to recognize 4-hydroxy-3-nitro-phenyl acetyl-specific TsF3 that share idiotype-related determinants with TsF1 yet binds to TsF1 molecules that have interacted with antigen, the binding is apparently independent of the site of antigen recognition. Additionally, the results show that the tumor-specific TsF1 raised in one suppressor system share serologic determinants with anti-hapten TsF1 raised in another. 相似文献

Third-order (Ts3) suppressor cells are generated after conventional immunization. These cells, however, will not mediate suppressor cell function unless specifically triggered by an activating signal, termed TsF2. This report analyzes the mechanism of this TsF2-mediated triggering event. TsF2-mediated suppression is genetically restricted by genes in the I-J and Igh-V regions. The target of the I-J restrictions is a firmly adherent accessory cell, which appears to express I-J-related determinants. These accessory cells are sensitive to cyclophosphamide treatment and 500 R irradiation. In contrast, the target of the Igh-V restriction of TsF2 appears to be the Ts3 cell, which carries antigen-specific, idiotype-related receptors. The mechanism of suppressor cell activation appears to involve two stages. Presentation of I-J-restricted TsF2 by I-J-compatible presenting cells and a second step involving idiotype-anti-idiotype interactions between TsF2 and the Ts3 cell. I-J compatibility is not required with the accessory cell for Ts3 activation. Finally, we hypothesize that the anti-idiotypic determinants expressed on TsF2 can serve as an internal image of antigen, thereby permitting specific targeting of the factor. 相似文献

We have been examining the mechanisms that control in vivo development and down regulation of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) to trinitrophenyl (TNP)-altered self antigens. In vivo generation of hapten-specific CTL requires an auxiliary antigenic stimulus, which can be provided by H-2 compatible but Mls-disparate cells. These experiments were designed to study the effect of tolerization with such Mls-disparate cells on CTL development. C3H/HeN (H-2k, Mlsc ) mice sensitized in the footpads with C3H-TNP spleen cells plus CBA/J (H-2k, Mlsd ) spleen cells develop CTL in the draining lymph nodes that will lyse 51Cr-labeled TNP-modified C3H targets. However, we have found that if C3H/HeN mice are given tolerizing doses of CBA/J spleen cells 5 to 7 days before sensitization, a splenic suppressor T cell (Ts) appears. This Ts will suppress CTL development in its tolerant host, and can be transferred adoptively to function in naive mice. Ts and its precursor are cyclophosphamide insensitive and therefore different from the naturally existing suppressor cell present in mice. When triggered by cells with Mlsd , the Ts produces a factor (TsF) that hinders helper factors from functioning in an in vitro CTL assay. Furthermore, TsF acts to prevent utilization of IL 2 by an IL 2-dependent cell line. Thus, evidence has been provided that the in vivo generation of CTL toward hapten-altered self can be down regulated at the level of helper signals by a Ts. The latter is inducible by the Mls-disparate cells that are needed at a different site to trigger the helper factors in this CTL system. 相似文献

The synthetic monovalent antigen L-tyrosine-p-azophenyltri-methylammonium (tyr (TMA)) induces in A/J mice, a cascade of regulatory T cells in the absence of any detectable effector function (e.g., CTL, delayed-type hypersensitivity, etc.). An important component of the activated T cells is a first order suppressor T cell or Ts1 that is Ly-1+2-, functions only at the afferent limb of the anti-TMA response, binds the TMA ligand and bears cross-reactive idiotypes associated with anti-TMA antibodies. This Ts1 produces a suppressor factor (TsF1) that binds the TMA ligand, bears the cross-reactive idiotypes and I-J determinants and functions to induce an idiotype-specific Ts2 population. To study the biochemistry of this TsF, use was made of T cell hybridomas that constitutively produce TMA-TsF1 (8A.1 and 8A.3). The TsF1 was purified from culture supernatant or cell extracts by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, reverse phase HPLC and either affinity chromatography or by preparative IEF. The TsF1 has an isoelectric point of 6.5 and a m.w. of 26,000 or 62,000 as analyzed by SDS-PAGE or high performance molecular sieve chromatography. Its precipitation in 30 to 40% (NH4)2SO4; elution pattern from reverse phase high performance columns; its capacity to bind to a mAb specific for L-glutamic acid 60L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT)-TsF1 strongly suggest that this protein belongs to the same family of proteins as do the GAT-TsF1 described previously. Most noteworthy is that although these TsF1 proteins show remarkable similarities, they are absolutely specific in their biologic activity; TMA-TsF1 will not suppress the response to GAT-BA-TNP and GAT-TsF1 will not suppress the response to TMA-BA-TNP. Thus the TMA-TsF1 represents a second example of a unique group of Ag-specific proteins whose function is to induce or activate other suppressor T cells in the primary immune response to Ag. 相似文献

T suppressor cell differentiation factor (TsDF) induces the differentiation of alloantigen-primed suppressor T cells (MLR-Ts) to expression of their effector function, i.e., to active TsF production. The initial activation stimulus to Ts is provided by alloantigen binding; after this binding, Ts are functionally responsive only for a period of hours to the additional stimulus provided by TsDF. The present studies addressed the possibility that MLR-Ts responsiveness to TsDF reflects the induced and transient display of TsDF-binding receptors. TsDF receptor expression was investigated by determining the capacity of TsDF-responsive MLR-Ts to adsorb TsDF activity and to respond to that TsDF pulse by TsF production. Primed Ts populations that were alloantigen restimulated for 8 hr adsorbed TsDF in a cell dose-dependent fashion and produced TsF in response to that adsorption, whereas alloantigen-stimulated naive cells or primed but nonrestimulated cells neither responded to nor bound TsDF. Primed and restimulated L3T4-Ly-2+ but not L3T4+-Ly-2--enriched T cells bound TsDF. TsDF adsorption was saturable and time and temperature dependent. Glutaraldehyde fixation did not prevent TsDF adsorption by restimulated MLR-Ts, whereas pronase treatment abolished their TsDF-binding capacity. Kinetic analyses demonstrated that the capacity to bind TsDF developed rapidly after alloantigen reexposure, with maximal binding within 8 hr, followed by rapid decay with loss of TsDF binding by 36 hr. The kinetics of TsDF-induced TsF production correlated precisely with those of TsDF binding. These observations provide strong evidence that TsDF affects primed alloantigen-reactive Ts by interaction with antigen-induced and transiently expressed cell surface receptors. TsDF-receptor binding is then the stimulus for expression of Ts effector function. 相似文献

Lyt-1+2+ hapten-specific T suppressor cells (Ts) from mice injected and then painted with picryl or oxazolone derivatives produce hapten-specific T suppressor factors (TsF) in vitro. Stimulation by painting with contact sensitizer (which need not be specific) gives rise to Lyt-1-2+, I-J+, cyclophosphamide-sensitive T acceptor cells (Tacc). When the Tacc population is armed with TsF and then is exposed to specific antigen in the context of I-J-controlled determinants (antigen-presenting, haptenized spleen cells and Ts sharing the same I-J subregion), a nonspecific inhibitor of DNA synthesis (nsINH) appears in the supernatant. This inhibitor suppresses the primary DNA synthetic response to concanavalin A, lipopolysaccharide, and alloantigens in both syngeneic and allogeneic lymphocytes. The nsINH is only effective when added to lymphocyte cultures less than 8 hr after the stimulation with concanavalin A. The nsINH, however, affects neither primary nor secondary cytotoxicity in vitro. These data suggest the mouse immune system is capable of selective regulation of the response to specific antigen by the production of nonspecific soluble suppressor factor(s). 相似文献

The induction of new suppressor T cells (Ts2) by suppressive extracts (TsF) from L-glutamic acid50L-tyrosine50 (GT) nonresponder mice was examined. Incubation of normal spleen cells with allogeneic GT-TsF for 2 days in vitro led to the generation of Ts2 cells able to suppress subsequent responses to the immunogen GT-methylated bovine serum albumin (GT-MBSA) in vivo. This induction occurred efficiently when TsF donor and target cells differed at all of H-2, including the I-J subregion. B10.BR (H-2k) GT-TsF, adsorbed on, then acid eluted from GT-Sepharose and anti-I-Jk [B10.A (3R) anti-B10.A (5R)]-Sepharose in a sequential fashion could induce BALB/c (H-2d) spleen cells to become Ts2 only if nanogram quantities of GT were added to the purified GT-TsF. This indicates a requirement for a molecule or molecular complex possessing both I-J determinants and antigen (GT)-binding specificity, together with GT itself, for Ts2 induction. The induced Ts2 are I-J+, since their function can be eliminated by treatment with anti-I-Jk plus C. These I-J determinants are coded for by the precursor of the Ts2 and do not represent passively adsorbed, I-J coded TsF, since anti-Ijk antiserum [(3R X DBA/2)F1 anti-5R] which cannot recognize the BALB/c (I-Jd) TsF used for induction still eliminates the activity of induced A/J (I-Jk) Ts2. These data provide further evidence for and information about the minimum of two T cells involved in antigen-specific suppressor T cell systems. 相似文献

The experiments described further define the suppressor T cell pathway in the S1509a tumor system. We demonstrated previously that S1509a-induced Ts1, TsF1, and Ts2 specifically suppress in vivo Ly1+2- T cell-dependent responses to S1509a and that Ts1 suppress in vivo Ly-1+2- T cell-mediated proliferative responses to S1509a. We have now shown that in vivo administration of either S1509a-induced TsF1 or TsF2 suppresses both in vivo and in vitro Ly-1+2- T cell-mediated responses to S1509a. Furthermore, we revealed the existence of Ts3, which are activated by S1509a tumor antigen and TsF2, in this murine tumor system. Finally, we demonstrated that cyclophosphamide abrogates the suppressive effect of TsF2 but not that of Ts3. These results are discussed with respect to T cell-mediated suppression in other murine tumor systems and the possible pivotal role for a tumor antigen-presenting cell in activating Ts3 in the S1509a tumor system. 相似文献

Relationships between antigen-specific helper and inducer suppressor T cell hybridomas 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
V K Kuchroo J K Steele R M O'Hara S Jayaraman P Selvaraj E Greenfield R T Kubo M E Dorf 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1990,145(2):438-448
Ts1, or inducer suppressor T cells, share many phenotypic and functional characteristics with helper/inducer subset of T cells. In order to evaluate the relationship between these cell types, we made a series of new Ts1 hybridomas by the fusion of Ts1 cells with the functionally TCR alpha/beta-negative BW thymoma (BW 1100). Three Ts1 hybridomas (CKB-Ts1-38, CKB-Ts1-53, and CKB-Ts1-81) were established that express TCR and produce Ag-specific suppressor factors constitutively, thus making it possible to study the nature and specificity of Ag receptors, MHC restriction, and lymphokine production by the Ts1 hybridomas. Results presented in this report demonstrate that all the Ts1 hybridomas described here express CD3-associated TCR-alpha beta. These three Ts1 hybridomas recognize Ag (NP-KLH) specifically in a growth inhibition assay and this recognition is restricted by IE molecules. Two of the hybridomas also produce IL-2 or IL-2 and IL-4 upon Ag-specific activation. Thus, by these three criteria the Ts1 hybridomas appear indistinguishable from Th cells. These three Ts1 hybridomas, however, release suppressor factors (TsF1) in the supernatant that suppress both in vivo DTH and in vitro PFC responses in an Ag-specific manner. Like the TsF1 factors characterized previously, the suppression mediated by these factors are Igh restricted and lack H-2 restriction. These factors mediate suppression when given in the induction phase but not during the effector phase of the immune response. The TsF1 factors are absorbed by Ag (NP-BSA), and anti-TCR affinity columns and the suppressor activity can be recovered by elution. The data are consistent with the interpretation that Ts1 inducer-suppressor T cells are related to Th cells; the feature that distinguishes these cells is the ability to produce Ag-binding factors that specifically suppress immune responses. 相似文献

Previous studies of the immune response of C57BL/6 mice to the 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl acetyl (NP) hapten determined that challenge with antigenic forms of hapten induces both immunity and suppression. The anti-NP plaque-forming cell response can be down regulated by an Ag-induced cascade consisting of three suppressor T cell subsets. These three populations, termed Ts1, Ts2, and Ts3 have been characterized to have inducer, transducer and effector functions, respectively. Although the functions of each of these subsets have been examined in vivo, the cellular requirements for in vitro Ts induction have only been investigated for the Ts3 population. The present study characterizes the cellular events that lead to the induction of the Ts2, suppressor transducer population. Culture of naive C57BL/6 spleen cells with Ts1-derived suppressor factor in the absence of exogenous Ag leads to the generation of Ts2 cells that mediate Ag-specific suppression of NP plaque-forming cell responses. Phenotypic analyses demonstrate that a CD3+, CD4-, CD5+, CD8+, and I-J+ precursor population is stimulated by TsF1 to become mature Ts2 cells that express CD3, CD8, and I-J but not CD5. Although previous studies have reported an essential role for B cells in the induction of other Ts populations, depletion of B cells from Ts2 induction cultures had no effect on Ts2 generation. Despite the absence of B cells in these cultures, the mature Ts2 cells were functionally IgH restricted. Studies with IgH congenic B.C-8 mice suggest that this restriction specificity was imposed by the idiotype-related determinants expressed on the TsF1, not the T cell genotype. 相似文献

Previous studies demonstrated that the first-order T-suppressor factor (TsF1) requires the presence of antigen to induce idiotype-specific Ts cells which readily suppress phenyltrimethylamino (TMA) hapten-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses when transferred into already immune recipients. In this study we show that TsF1 in the absence of antigen induces a splenic population which limits DTH in recipient mice only when an additional accessory lymphoid population was also cotransferred. Neither of these populations alone was sufficient to mediate suppression and depletion of T cells in either population's abrogated suppression, indicating the T-cell dependency of the complementing cell types. Moreover, suppression was seen only when TMA-TsF1-induced and not normal spleen cell lysate-induced cells were cotransferred with the antigen-induced population, suggesting the requirement for a specific signal to induce the factor-induced population. Further experiments showed that the antigen-induced lymphoid population could be replaced by either heterologous antigen-induced or adjuvant alone-induced splenic populations, indicating the lack of specificity of this secondary population. Further analysis showed that the cell complementation between TMA-TsF1-induced and the nonspecific accessory lymphoid population resulted in antigen-specific and genetically restricted immune suppression. The TsF1-induced lymphoid population was not responsible for the genetic restriction, and furthermore, there was no restriction observed between the two complementing populations. However, matching of the nonspecific accessory cell with the recipient host at the I-J subregion of the H-2 complex was essential for immune suppression. Finally, the activity of complementing cells was found to be independent of cyclophosphamide-sensitive Ts populations of the recipient mice. The ramifications of these findings with reference to the existing suppressor pathways are discussed. 相似文献

Five different Ag-binding suppressor factors from two types of hapten-specific Ts cell hybridomas (TsF1 inducer and TsF3 effector factors) were bound by an anti-lipomodulin mAb (141-B9), that crossreacts with rodent glycosylation inhibition factor (GIF). The Ag-specific suppressor activity in these hybridoma supernatants was bound by anti-lipomodulin columns and could be recovered by elution at acid pH. Additional evidence for the expression of lipomodulin/GIF activity on these TsF molecules was demonstrated by the ability of the eluted fractions to inhibit the glycosylation of IgE-binding peptides during their biosynthesis. The same biologic activity is associated with GIF and lipomodulin. The relationship between TsF and lipomodulin/GIF was confirmed in a serologic assay, which showed that TsF1 and TsF3 molecules, whether purified over Ag, anti-IJ or anti-TsF columns, are recognized by the mAb. 141-B9. The combined results indicate that Ag-binding Ts factors share a common antigenic determinant with phospholipase inhibitory proteins such as lipomodulin and GIF. In addition, the demonstration of glycosylation regulatory activity carried on these TsF molecules suggests a possible mode for their bioactivity. 相似文献

We have studied the immunomodulatory effect of dextran on the development of delayed-type contact hypersensitivity to a hapten in mice. Administration of an optimal dose of dextran 2 hours before applying picryl chloride to abdominal skin caused a twofold rise in the level of hapten-specific DTH. A study of the kinetics of development of DTH under the influence of dextran showed that comparable levels of response could be seen 2 days earlier in treated than in untreated mice, i.e., on the third day in contrast to the fifth day after sensitization. The peak of the responses, while greater in dextran-treated mice than in normal controls, remained the same at 5 days. Adoptive transfer studies revealed that comparable levels of DTH were conferred upon recipient mice by half the number of splenic cells from dextran-treated mice than that required from normal sensitized mice. Because several suppressor mechanisms are known to down-regulate DTH, we have studied dextran's effect on the neutralization of these systems as a possible explanation for its enhancing capabilities. Detailed examination was made of dextran's effect on the two suppressor T cells, Ts1 and Ts3, that act in tandem as well as its effect on the Ts1 and macrophage that work in combination. Both systems depress the efferent limb of DTH. We have found that dextran blocks the Ts1-macrophage pathway that controls DTH. Ts1 was found to arise normally in mice pretreated with dextran. Furthermore, Ts1 from dextran-treated mice produced TsF1 normally. However, we have found that dextran interferes with the production of macrophage suppressor factor (M phi-SF). Interference was partial when dextran was introduced during the interval in which macrophages were being armed with TsF1, and it was complete when dextran was put with pre-armed macrophages before they were triggered with antigen for production of M phi-SF. On the other hand, the Ts1-Ts3 limb of suppression remained unaffected by exposure to the immunomodulator. We found Ts3 arose normally in hapten-sensitized mice that had been pretreated with dextran. In addition, Ts3 became armed with TsF1 in vitro in the presence of dextran since the cells functioned properly to suppress mature DTH effector cells. Finally, TsF3 was able to act in vitro upon DTH effector cells despite the presence of dextran.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

An in vitro study has been made of the mechanism by which a suppressor T cell, that is induced in lymph nodes by a syngeneic splenic cell antigen, prevents generation of cytotoxic T cells specific for hapten-altered self antigens. When popliteal lymph node cells exposed in vivo to syngeneic splenic cells were immunized in vitro with heat-treated syngeneic TNP-coupled thymocytes and excess helper factors, the Ts remained inactive. In this condition the exposed popliteal lymph node cells routinely demonstrated approximately twice the CTL response developed by lymph node cells from normal mice. Nevertheless, when triggered in vitro by splenic antigen on either X-irradiated B or T cells, the exposed but not the normal lymph node cells exhibited reduced hapten-altered self-specific CTL responses. Furthermore, T cells within spleen cell-exposed popliteal lymph node cell populations when reexposed to splenic T cells made a factor that was found to be suppressive of CTL generation by normal lymph node cells in vitro. The nondialyzable T-cell suppressor factor (TsF) did not appear to act on lymph node precursor CTLs, nor on helper T cells but instead acted at the level of utilization of helper factors in the development of CTLs. In an examination of the effect of TsF on cellular replication, TsF was found to be nontoxic for CTLL-20, an IL-2-dependent T cell, and it did not hinder the uptake of IL-2 by receptor blockade of this cell. Nevertheless, the replication of CTLL-20 that is IL-2 driven was diminished in the presence of TsF. Similarly, TsF was found to be inhibitory for T-cell proliferation stimulated by mitogen but had no effect on a B myeloma cell proliferative response. Thus, TsF appears to act as an inhibitor of a T cell's capability to replicate despite the presence of the stimulus for replication, namely, IL-2. 相似文献

Cloned Ts cells specific for the Ag, human monoclonal (myeloma) IgG, were derived from spleen cells of mice that had been immunosuppressed by treatment with a tolerogenic conjugate of HIgG and monomethoxypolyethylene glycol. The cloned Ts cells (clone 23.32) suppressed in vitro antibody responses in an Ag-specific and MHC-restricted manner. By FMF with appropriate antibody reagents, these cells were shown to be Thy-1+, CD4-, CD5-, and CD8+ and to express CD3 and the alpha beta-TCR. These results are consistent with the view that Ts cells use Ag recognition structures similar to those reported for Th cells and CTL. A soluble factor (TsF) extracted from the cloned Ts cells also suppressed in vitro antibody responses in an Ag-specific and H-2Kd-restricted manner, i.e., restricted to MHC class I molecules. The suppressive activity of this TsF could be abrogated by addition of mAb H28-710 that reacts with a determinant on the alpha-chain of TCR. Moreover, the TsF bound to and could be recovered from an immunosorbent consisting of the anti-alpha-TCR mAb H28-710 coupled to Sepharose 4B. In contrast, the TsF was not bound by immunosorbents consisting of mAb to the beta-chain of TCR (H57-597) or to V beta 8 (F23.1). It was, therefore, concluded that the TsF of clone 23.32 is serologically related to the alpha-chain of the TCR; however, it is not identical to TCR, because it lacks the determinants expressed on the TCR beta-chain that are recognized by the two anti-beta mAbs used in this study. 相似文献

The T suppressor (Ts) cell population that functions to regulate antigen-specific MHC-restricted T helper (Th)-B cell interactions also regulates the activation of B cells by cloned autoreactive Th cells. Activated Ts cells were generated by in vivo priming and restimulation in vitro with high concentrations of the specific priming antigen. Once generated, this Ts population inhibits the Th-dependent activation of primed B cells by both antigen-specific and autoreactive T cells in an antigen-nonspecific manner. This suppression requires the participation of both Lyt-1+2- and Lyt-1-2+ T cells. It was also demonstrated that accessory cells were required for the induction of Ts cells. Moreover, the generation of suppression was MHC-restricted and required the recognition by T cells of Ia antigens on accessory cells. These studies demonstrate that the same or a very similar Ts cell population can function to inhibit the activation of B cells by antigen-specific as well as autoreactive T cells. 相似文献

An infectious center viral plaque assay has been utilized to quantitate activated T suppressor (Ts) cells. This assay is based on two observations. Namely, resting T cells do not serve as good replicative hosts for many viruses, including vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and that Ts cells can be enriched by their ability to bind to antigen-coated dishes. Our data show that Ts cells specific for either the TNP hapten or for dextran will replicate VSV upon antigenic and/or mitogenic activation, whereas resting Ts and hapten-specific B cells are less efficient in this process. This system will now allow the direct quantitation of Ts cells and their activation properties. 相似文献

Immunoregulation in the rat: characteristics of a suppressor T cell that inhibits antigen-dependent cell proliferation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We have examined the characteristics of a rat suppressor T cell (Ts) that inhibited the antigen-dependent proliferative response of antigen-primed T cells. The kinetics of in vitro induction of Ts from lymph node T cells obtained from antigen-primed rats indicated that Ts were induced in the presence of the priming antigen within 48 hr of culturing. The Ts produced during the first 48 hr of in vitro cultures were radiosensitive (2000 rad) but became partially radioresistant within the next 48 hr of culturing. In the presence but not the absence of priming antigen, Ts inhibited the antigen-dependent proliferative response to the priming antigen as well as to heterologous antigens. Suppression appeared to be mediated via a nondialyzable suppressor factor (TsF). The induction of Ts in cultures required the presence of OX-6-/OX-8- T cells, antigen-presenting cells, and the antigen. Although a majority of cells recovered from the induced cultures were OX-8+, there was no evidence that OX-8+ antigen expression per se was related to Ts activity. Addition of highly purified IL 2 augmented the Ts-mediated suppression. The immunoregulatory implications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献
