It has been established by indirect immunofluorescence that thymic lymphocytes bear receptors for secretory component (Rsc). The bound secretory component, i. e., in the molecule of secretory IgA, was found to react with a greater number of thymocytes than free secretory component. Such difference may indicate that T-Rsc have higher affinity to the bound secretory component than to free secretory component. However, this needs detailed investigation. The ability of thymocytes to express Rsc depends on the cellular cAMP level, as the treatment with adenosine and theophylline increases the number of cells with Rsc. Supernatant of a 3-hour thymocyte culture was also capable of stimulating the expression of Rsc. It is assumed that secretory component contained in great amounts in the thymus membrane system takes part in the differentiation of T alpha and Tsc cells of the thymus, which repopulate lymphoid organs and regulate their immune reactions. Rsc may also be useful in assessing the state of Tsc subpopulation in different pathological conditions. 相似文献

Translocation of dimeric IgA through neoplastic colon cells in vitro. 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
We studied the translocation of dimeric IgA across epithelium, using neoplastic human colon cells in culture as a source of epithelial cells, and immunoelectronmicroscopy with peroxidase-labeled antigens and antibodies. The cells had some of the ultrastructural characteristics of normal, mature epithelial cells, i.e., polarity, desmosomal junctions, and secretory component on their basal and lateral plasma membranes. Horseradish peroxidase-labeled dimeric IgA, exposed to the cells at 0 degrees C, bound selectively to secretory component on the cell surfaces. At 37 degrees C, the bound dimeric IgA was taken into the cells by endocytosis and transported apically through the cytoplasm in vesicles. After 30 min, IgA was discharged across the apical surface. Neither colchicine (10(-4) M) nor cytochalasin B (10(-5) M) interfered with binding or endocytosis of dimeric IgA, but colchicine inhibited intracellular transport of the IgA-containing vesicles. These experiments demonstrated that dimeric IgA can be transported through living intestinal epithelial cells in vitro. The transport includes 1) specific binding of IgA dimers to secretory component on plasma membranes, 2) endocytosis of IgA in vesicles, 3) transcytoplasmic transport of the IgA-containing vesicles by a process involving microtubules, and 4) discharge of IgA at the apical surfaces. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) was found in mucus scraped from the surface of the human antrum. Fresh human gastric mucosa removed at operation was washed free of loosely adhering material and the gelatinous mucus lining the tissue scraped. The scrapings were separated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and on Sepharose 4B into two carbohydrate-containing fractions. One of these fractions was shown by immunodiffusion to contain IgA which differs from human colostral secretory IgA by being devoid of secretory component activity. Moreover, secretory component was not detected in our unfractionated gastric mucosal scrapings. It is concluded that, contrary to the general belief, the predominant immunoglobulin A of human gastric mucus is not associated with the secretory component. Our results do not exclude the possibility that, as in serum, small amounts of secretory IgA and of the secretory component may be present in gastric secretions, however if so, the levels of these compounds would fall below the level of sensitivity of our methods. 相似文献

The protozoan Entamoeba histolytica is the etiological agent of amebiasis, an infection with high prevalence worldwide. The host-ameba relationship outcome depends on parasite and host factors, and among these is secretory IgA. These antibodies reduce mucosal colonization by pathogens and neutralize a variety of toxins and enzymes. The functionality of secretory IgA depends on its integrity. Some bacteria produce IgA proteases that cleave mainly the IgA1 subclass; live E. histolytica trophozoites, and other ameba fractions are also able to degrade human IgA. The aim of this study was to determine if serum and secretory IgA, its subclasses and secretory component, are degraded by cysteine proteases, which are present and active on the surface of glutaraldehyde-fixed amebas. It was observed that secretory IgA1, IgA2, free and IgA-bound secretory component were degraded by E. histolytica surface-associated cysteine proteinases. Secretory IgA2, although it was degraded, conserved its ability to agglutinate live amebas better than IgA1. Therefore, while specificity of known ameba cysteine proteases is cathepsin B-like and is different from bacterial IgA proteases, IgA2 was functionally more resistant than IgA1 to ameba surface-associated cysteine protease degradation, similar to the greater resistance of IgA2 to bacterial IgA-specific proteases. 相似文献

Human tonsil lymphocytes were stimulated with diphtheria toxoid and then cultured in a Marbrook culture system so that antibodies could be measured in the culture supernatant. Specific antibodies were measured with excess radiolabeled antigen and antisera specific for each immunoglobulin class. Good IgG and IgA diphtheria antitoxin responses have been obtained and responding culture supernatants were shown to neutralize toxin. The relationship between antitoxin response in vitro and immunization of donors with toxoid was investigated. It was found that at least two immunizations after the age of 6 months were necessary to prime the tonsils for an in vitro antibody response. The IgG and IgA in culture supernatants were demonstrated by immunodiffusion and were measured by radioimmunoassay. By sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, it was shown that 40% of the IgA produced in the cultures was greater than 7S. Evidence was obtained that neither the IgA nor the specific IgA antitoxin bears secretory piece. It appears that human lymphocytes from tonsils produce polymer IgA in vitro without secretory piece. 相似文献

To examine the local immunity of the newborn and maternal mammary glands the distribution of regulatory lymphocyte subsets, Ia-positive cells, free secretory component (Sc) and secretory IgA (SIgA) has been studied in maternal and neonatal milk. In the maternal milk there was a positive correlation between the relative number of Ia-positive cells and the level of SIgA, and a reverse correlation between the percentage of cytotoxic (suppressor) cells and free Sc level. No such correlations were observed on the neonatal milk. A high level of It-positive cells in the neonatal milk suggests a high functional activity of the local immunity in the mammary gland of the newborn. A high Sc level and a very low SIgA level were found in the neonatal milk. The relative immaturity and autonomy of the local immunity were observed in the neonatal mammary gland. 相似文献

Immunological aspects of Helicobacter pylori infection. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
I Rácz 《Acta physiologica Hungarica》2000,87(4):329-337
Host defence against Helicobacter pylori infection is a complex system of both specific and non-specific reactions. Among the non-specific defense mechanisms acting on bacteria before they reach the mucus layer in the stomach are digestive enzymes, lyzozyme, lactoferrin and other components with antimicrobal activity. The mucus layer is the final non-specific barrier against the bacteria reaching the gastric mucosa cells. On reaching the gastric mucosa Helicobacter pylori adheres to epithelial cells and bacterial antigens, chemotaxins and other components are liberated. Helicobacter pylori antigens are presented to immunate B lymphocytes, which interact with T-helper lymphocytes to become mature IgA-, IgD-, IgE-, IgG and Ig-M producing plasma cells. IgA dimers of secretory IgA are secreted through the gastric epithelium. IgE antibodies bind to basophils, which mature to histamine-producing mast cells. Histamine activates the acid production in the stomach and contributes to the chronic inflammation and tissue destruction. In addition, T lymphocytes are possible activated by Helicobacter pylori and contribute to the chronic inflammation. 相似文献

Intracellular and secreted IgA from pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-stimulated normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, from 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes of a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or from an IgA-producing human Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid cell line were analyzed by molecular-sieve chromatography, electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and sucrose density ultracentrifugation. Fluorochrome-labeled anti-human IgA and secretory component (SC) were used as probes for the detection of polymeric IgA in individual cells. These methods demonstrated that the majority of intracellular IgA occurred in monomeric form, even when the predominant form of secreted IgA was polymeric. Sequential analyses of the IgA secreted by PWM-stimulated normal peripheral blood lymphocytes revealed that the proportion of polymeric IgA increased with the time of culture and that polymers represented the prevalent form of secreted IgA from the fifth day of culture. Although approximately one-half of TPA-stimulated CLL cells bound fluorochrome-labeled SC, only trace amounts of extracellular and intracellular polymeric IgA were detected in both culture supernatants and lysates. Culture supernatants of an IgA-secreting EBV-transformed cell line contained predominantly polymeric IgA. However, intracellular IgA was largely represented by monomers. The predominance of intracellular monomers in polymeric IgA-secreting cells suggested that the pathway of the assembly of human IgA molecules is analogous to that described for mouse IgA synthesis. 相似文献

Nasal mucosa is an immune responsive organ evidenced by eliciting both specific local secretory IgA and systemic IgG antibody responses with intra-nasal administration of antigens. Nevertheless, the role of nasal epithelial cells in modulating such responses is unclear. Human nasal epithelial cells (hNECs) obtained from sinus mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were cultured in vitro and firstly were stimulated by Lactococcus lactis bacterium-like particles (BLPs) in order to examine their role on antibody production. Secondly, both antigens of immunodominant protein IDG60 from oral Streptococcus mutans and hemagglutinin (HA) from influenza virus were tested to evaluate the specific antibody response. Stimulated hNECs by BLPs exhibited a significant increase in the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). Conditioned medium of stimulated hNECs has effects on enhancing the proliferation of CD4+ T cells together with interferon-γ and IL-5 production, increasing the costimulatory molecules on dendritic cells and augmenting the production of IDG60 specific IgA, HA specific IgG, IgA by human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Such production of antigen specific IgG and IgA is significantly counteracted in the presence of IL-6 and TSLP neutralizing antibodies. In conclusion, properly stimulated hNECs may impart immuno-modulatory effects on the antigen-specific antibody response at least through the production of IL-6 and TSLP. 相似文献

Plant expression of chicken secretory antibodies derived from combinatorial libraries 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Delivery of secretory IgA antibodies (sIgA) to mucosal surfaces is a promising strategy to passively prevent infectious diseases. Plants have been proposed as biofactories for such complex immunoglobulin molecules. Recently, the molecular characterization of all four monomers of chicken sIgA (IgA immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, J-chain and secretory component) has been completed, allowing recombinant, up scaled production of chicken sIgA and extension of passive immune strategies to poultry. To test the suitability of the plant cell factory for bulk production of chicken sIgA, we studied the expression of chicken IgA, dIgA and sIgA in planta. To that end, new cassettes were designed that allowed the grafting of immunoglobulin variable regions derived from combinatorial libraries into full-size chicken IgA frames ready for plant expression. Using this system, 10 individual phage display clones, which had previously been selected against Eimeria acervulina antigens, were transferred "from phage to plant". Plant-made chicken antibodies showed strong differences in expression levels, which seemed governed mainly by the stability of their respective light chains. Finally, with the co-expression of chicken IgA heavy and light chains, J-chain and secretory component in N. benthamiana leaves we showed that plant cells are suitable biofactories for the production of assembled chicken sIgA complexes. 相似文献

Summary Changes occurring in the epithelium covering bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) in the rat after several intratracheal administrations of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were studied using morphological and ultrastructural methods. The epithelium is invaded by W3/ 25-positive (T-helper) lymphocytes, the BALT epithelial cells become Ia-positive and develop microvilli; there is an apparent loss of cilia. The number of non-ciliated cells in stimulated BALT increases. The non-ciliated cells can be subdivided into two cell types, one with electron-dense cytoplasm and cytoplasmic granules and the other without granules. The electron-density of the latter cell type is intermediate between that of the ciliated cells and that of the granulecontaining non-ciliated cells. The granule-containing cell types may be responsible for the uptake of antigens, while the other non-ciliated cell may be involved in the production of the secretory component and the passage of secretory IgA.Supported by a research grant from the Nederlands Astma Fonds 相似文献

Evaluation of nine different fixatives. 2. Preservation of IgG, IgA and secretory component in an artificial immunohistochemical test substrate 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
An artificial substrate was developed for quantitative testing of the ability of various fixatives to preserve the reactivity of IgG and IgA isotypes (gamma and alpha chains) and the secretory component (SC) of secretory IgA as model antigens. Polymerized normal rabbit serum was used as matrix and defined amounts (10-0.1 g/l) of antigen were incorporated into it by diffusion before fixation and paraffin embedding. The various fixatives comprised alcohol, routine formalin, glutaraldehyde(1%)-formalin, Baker's formol calcium, formol sublimate, acetic acid(2%)-formol saline, Bouin's fluid, Susa fixative, and carbodiimide. The detection sensitivity afforded by these fixatives was defined as the immunofluorescence staining end point. Compared to the reference value obtained with alcohol (gamma and alpha chains, 0.06 g/l of IgG and IgA; SC, 0.12 g/l of colostral IgA), an antigen concentration at least 8 times higher was necessary for detection with most of the cross-linking fixatives. Bouin's and Susa fixatives were peculiar in that they required more than 150 times higher antigen concentration for detection of IgG but only 3-8 times higher for IgA. The determined sensitivities were compared with the immunofluorescence performance results obtained on human tissues prepared with the same fixatives; excepting carbodiimide (which produced unacceptable autofluorescence of the substrate matrix) a remarkably good correlation was found with regard to IgG- and IgA-producing cells (especially of the former isotype) and secretory epithelium (IgA and SC). However, the latter result depended on pronase treatment of the tissue sections to unmask epithelial antigens.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Unbound bovine secretory component was cleaved into two-domain and one-domain fragments by trypsin within 1 h. Bovine secretory component covalently bound to bovine IgA dimer, as in secretory IgA, was much more resistant to fragmentation, which did not proceed beyond the three-domain stage even after 5 h. Bovine secretory component non-covalently bound to bovine IgM or to human IgM or IgA polymer was also relatively resistant to fragmentation, which again was largely arrested at the three-domain stage. A model for the binding of secretory component to polymeric immunoglobulin is proposed. 相似文献

The indirect immunofluorescence method showed that decreased (in comparison with myoid cells of adult human thymus) content of muscle antigens in the myoid elements of the embryonic organ caused a greater secretory activity of these elements at the early embryogenesis. Due to increased secretory activity of the myoid cells internal medium of the embryonic thymus contained more antigens common to the muscle tissue than the adult human thymus. The fact that during the ontogenesis the functional activity of the myoid cells correlated with the rate of lymphoid tissue formation favours a suggestion that heteroorganic antigens provide the thymus lymphocytes with information concerning the autoantigen structure necessary to induce natural immunological tolerance. 相似文献

Unstimulated and PWM-stimulated lymphocytes from normal human peripheral blood, cord blood, peripheral blood of patients with panhypogammaglobulinemia and selective IgA deficiency, as well as human lymphoblastoid cell lines were examined for their ability to bind secretory component (SC) on the surface and in the cytoplasm. SC binding was not detected on the cell surface at any stage of differentiation in these cells. However, binding of SC was detected in the cytoplasm of 2.3% of normal peripheral blood lymphocytes cultured in the presence of PWM for 6 to 7 days, and in two IgA producing lymphoblastoid cell lines. The capability of lymphoid cells to bind SC was not concurrent with J chain production. Although IgA was detected in the cytoplasm of PWM-stimulated lymphocytes from IgA-deficient patients, these cells did not bind SC. The failure to detect surface receptors indicates that SC is not a probable factor determining the homing of IgA precursor cells into exocrine tissues. 相似文献

M cells of intestinal epithelia overlying lymphoid follicles endocytose luminal macromolecules and microorganisms and deliver them to underlying lymphoid tissue. The effect of luminal secretory IgA antibodies on adherence and transepithelial transport of antigens and microorganisms by M cells is unknown. We have studied the interaction of monoclonal IgA antibodies directed against specific enteric viruses, or the hapten trinitrophenyl (TNP), with M cells. To produce monospecific IgA antibodies against mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) and reovirus type 1, Peyer's patch cells from mucosally immunized mice were fused with myeloma cells, generating hybridomas that secreted virus-specific IgA antibodies in monomeric and polymeric forms. One of two anti-MMTV IgA antibodies specifically bound the viral surface glycoprotein gp52, and 3 of 10 antireovirus IgA antibodies immunoprecipitated sigma 3 and mu lc surface proteins. 35S-labeled IgA antibodies injected intravenously into rats were recovered in bile as higher molecular weight species, suggesting that secretory component had been added on passage through the liver. Radiolabeled or colloidal gold-conjugated mouse IgA was injected into mouse, rat, and rabbit intestinal loops containing Peyer's patches. Light microscopic autoradiography and EM showed that all IgA antibodies (antivirus or anti-TNP) bound to M cell luminal membranes and were transported in vesicles across M cells. IgA-gold binding was inhibited by excess unlabeled IgA, indicating that binding was specific. IgG-gold also adhered to M cells and excess unlabeled IgG inhibited IgA-gold binding; thus binding was not isotype-specific. Immune complexes consisting of monoclonal anti-TNP IgA and TNP-ferritin adhered selectively to M cell membranes, while TNP-ferritin alone did not. These results suggest that selective adherence of luminal antibody to M cells may facilitate delivery of virus-antibody complexes to mucosal lymphoid tissue, enhancing subsequent secretory immune responses or facilitating viral invasion. 相似文献

A complex between secretory component and an immunoglobulin A (IgA) myeloma dimer has been studied in vitro as a model to elucidate the mechanism of the formation of disulfide bonds during assembly in vivo of secretory immunoglobin A. A small amount of free thiol groups, totally about 0.4 groups per mole of protein, were shown to be present on both the heavy and light chains of the IgA dimer, but not on its J-chain, while no such groups could be demonstrated on free secretory component. The SH-groups on IgA most likely exist as a result of incomplete oxidation of some intra-or interchain disulfide bonds of the molecule, analogous to what has been suggested for IgG. Several types of evidence indicated that the disulfide bonds between secretory component and IgA are formed after the noncovalent association of the two proteins by a sulfhydryl group-disulfide bond exchange reaction, in which the small amount of free sulfhydryl groups on the IgA dimer initiate the reaction by reducing a reactive disulfide bond on secretory component. This exchange reaction, which thus proceeds by the mechanism of so-called disulfide interchange reactions, requires certain conformational features of one or both of the proteins and leads to the formation of presumably two new interchain disulfide bonds between secretory component and IgA. The reaction does not progress to completion, however, but ends in an equilibrium so that a small proportion of the secretory component molecules always are unattached by disulfide bonds. 相似文献

Secretory component is a receptor for polymeric immunoglobulins on epithelial cells and hepatocytes that facilitates transport of polymeric immunoglobulins into external secretions. Little is known about the transcellular migration of secretory component-polymeric IgA complexes or the membrane forms of secretory component. We therefore examined rat bile and liver membranes to identify and compare the various molecular species of secretory component. Bile or liver membrane proteins were electrophoresed in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Protein profiles on blots were probed with antisecretory component antiserum, and the immunoreactive bands were visualized by indirect immunoperoxidase staining. Bile collected in the presence of proteolytic inhibitors showed an immunoreactive doublet band (Mr = 82,000 and 78,000) in the molecular weight range of free secretory component. By contrast, free secretory component in bile collected in the absence of proteolytic inhibitors and purified by affinity chromatography migrated as a single protein with an Mr = 70,000. Both components of the free secretory component doublet bound dimeric IgA when blots were probed with human dimeric IgA. Crude liver membranes prepared in the presence of proteolytic inhibitors showed two immunoreactive secretory component-containing bands, Mr = 107,000 and 99,000, whereas membranes prepared without proteolytic inhibitors showed two smaller immunoreactive bands; one of these proteolytically severed proteins comigrated with the 82,000-dalton free secretory component in bile. These results indicate that membrane forms of secretory component are present in rat liver. The observations that the membrane secretory component is larger than biliary free secretory component and yields biliary SC-like forms of secretory component upon proteolysis support the hypothesis that free secretory component in bile is a proteolytic product of larger liver membrane-associated secretory component. 相似文献

Porcine mononuclear cells from peripheral blood separated by Ficoll-Hypaque gradient technique bound secretory IgA preferentially but not serum IgA or IgG after capping with anti-Ig. When the cells were incubated with free secretory component and washed, serum IgA binding was facilitated. Thus, the results indicate that a subpopulation of porcine circulating mononuclear cells bear surface receptors for secretory component (SC-receptor). 相似文献

Human gastric mucosal scrapings were subjected to fractionation on an isopycnic CsCl gradient. Immunoglobulin A was found between the 5th and 10th ml from the top of the tube. (Total volume 12ml). After two-fold fractionation the combined IgA containing fraction accounted for 4%–7% of the total carbohydrate content of the original gastric mucosal scrapings. Gas liquid chromatography of sugars showed the fraction to be enriched in Mannose and N-Acetyl glucosamine. The total carbohydrate content of the material was 5.5%–7% by weight. Immunodiffusion against specific anti Secretory component serum failed to demonstrate the presence of the secretory component in this fraction. It is concluded that gastric mucosal IgA, which appears to differ from a typical sIgA in lacking the characteristic secretory component activity, can be separated from the carbohydrate-rich gastric mucoproteins by CsCl fractionation. This indicates the absence of covalent bonding between IgA and the mucoproteins of gastric mucus. 相似文献
