In order to study the mechanism of B-cell differentiation using B lymphoid tumor cells as models, we investigated the effects of antigen-nonspecific T-cell factors in combination with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the expression of surface markers on B lymphoid cell lines. This study demonstrated that culture supernatant from concanavalin A-activated spleen cells (CAS) gave 2- to 3.5-fold enhancement of the expression of Ia antigens. The effect of CAS was dose dependent and as little as 2% CAS gave maximum enhancement of Ia antigen expression. The CAS effect was due to concanavalin A-activated cell products and was not due to the concanavalin A. The effects of allogeneic effect factor (AEF) on Ia antigens were similar to those of CAS. In contrast to CAS and AEF, LPS did not affect the expression of Ia antigens on ×16C 8.5. LPS enhanced 1.5- to 3-fold the expression of sIgM on this cell line. The expression of sIgM was minimally affected by T-cell factors; CAS induced 20 to 70% enhancement of sIgM expression while AEF induced no significant effects. This study showed that antigen-nonspecific factors (CAS and AEF) influenced mainly Ia expression on the B-cell lymphoma, ×16C 8.5, while LPS selectively affected sIgM expression. Therefore, it was concluded that the mechanisms by which B cells are activated by T-cell factors and mitogens are different. 相似文献

H-2 heterozygous marrow stem cells, lymphoid progenitor cells, and leukemia/lymphoma cells do not express hemopoietic or hybrid histocompatibility (Hh) antigens, which are important transplantation antigens recognized during the rejection of normal or neoplastic hemopoietic cells. The Hh-1b determinant of the H-2b haplotype maps to the D region of H-2. We have tested the hypothesis that gene(s) at or near H-2D of the H-2d haplotype down-regulate the expression of Hh-1b in the trans configuration. We used Abelson leukemia virus-transformed pre-B lymphoma cells (ACCb) of BALB/c X BALB.B (H-2d X H-2b) origin, as well as variant lines of ACCb, which were selected for resistance to monoclonal anti-H-2 antibodies plus complement. B6D2F1 (H-2b X H-2d), C3B6F1 (H-2k X H-2b), or B6 (H-2b) mice were infused with inocula of 5 X 10(6) B6 bone marrow cells (BMC). Proliferation of donor-derived marrow cells was judged in terms of DNA synthesis by measuring the splenic incorporation of 5-iodo(125I)-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR) 5 days after cell transfer. B6 BMC grew much better in B6 than in F1 hybrid host mice, an expression of "hybrid resistance". As observed previously, the injection of EL-4 (H-2b, Hh-1b) tumor cells prior to infusion of B6 (H-2b, Hh-1b) BMC enhanced the growth of B6 BMC in F1 hybrid mice. Therefore, this in vivo "cold target cell competition" type of assay can be used to detect the expression of Hh-1b antigens. Unlike EL-4 (H-2b) cells, hybrid resistance was not affected by prior infusion of (H-2b X H-2d) heterozygous ACCb cells. In contrast, three ACCb variant cell lines, H-2d-, Ld-Dd-, and Dd-, enhanced the growth of B6 BMC in F1 hosts. The ACCb H-2b- cell line did not affect hybrid resistance to B6 BMC. The loss of gene expression on the H-2d chromosome at or very near the H-2Dd locus is correlated with the appearance Hh-1b, as determined by the in vivo cold target competition assay. These results support the hypothesis that heterozygous cells possess trans-acting, dominant, down-regulatory genes mapping near H-2D that control the Hh-1 phenotype of lymphoid tumor cells. 相似文献

The effects of cytokines and adherent cells on the interleukin 4-mediated induction of Ia antigens on resting B cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this report we have extended our previous studies on interleukin 4 (IL-4) [previously termed B-cell stimulatory factor-1 (BSF-1)]. Our results demonstrate that 8 hr of exposure to IL-4 is sufficient to induce maximal expression of Ia antigens. This increase in expression of Ia antigens on resting B cells is due to the direct action of IL-4 on the B cells since adding or removing adherent cells or utilizing low density cultures of B cells at 50-100/culture had no effect on the IL-4-mediated increase in Ia. Monoclonal anti-IL-4 antibody completely abrogated the Ia-inducing activity of IL-4. A variety of other purified lymphokines including interleukin 2 (IL-2), interleukin 1 (IL-1), and a source of either B-cell differentiation factor for IgM (BCDF mu), or B-cell growth factor II (BCGF II), did not alter the expression of Ia antigens on resting B cells. However, interferon-gamma can partially inhibit the IL-4-mediated induction of Ia. 相似文献

Congenic anti-Ia antisera were used to bind radiolabelled Ia antigens from cells of various strains of mice of knownH-2 haplotype. The results indicate that Ia antigens are proteins of molecular weight 30,000 to 35,000 daltons. The Ia antigens are distinct from known H-2 antigens as judged by independent immunoprecipitation as well as by molecular weight. Ia antigens are synthesized by, and are present on the surface of lymphoid cells as evidenced by incorporation studies using3H-leucine and enzymatic radioiodination of cells, respectively. Tissue distribution of cell surface Ia suggests that Ia antigens are on B cells. Ia antigens were detected in the incubation media of3H-leucine labeled splenocytes suggesting that antigens may be secreted. 相似文献

Interleukin 4 enhances the ability of antigen-specific B cells to form conjugates with T cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

T cell-B cell conjugates are formed when trinitrophenyl-specific B cells are exposed to trinitrophenyl-ovalbumin and ovalbumin-specific T hybridoma cells. The proportion of conjugates was increased two- to threefold when antigen-pulsed trinitrophenyl-specific B cells, but not T cells, were pre-exposed to interleukin 4. Antigen-specific B cells pretreated with antigen and interleukin 4 and cultured in the presence of specific T helper cells also produced a larger proportion of antibody-secreting cells as compared to cells pretreated with antigen alone. The interleukin 4-induced enhancement of T/B conjugate formation occurred over a wide range of antigen concentrations, was dependent on the concentration of interleukin 4, and was inhibited by the monoclonal anti-interleukin 4 antibody, 11B11. The importance of Ia antigens in the enhancement of conjugate formation and generation of antibody-secreting cells is suggested by a) the fact that the interleukin 4-mediated increase in the density of Ia antigens on the antigen-specific B cells correlated with their enhanced ability to form T/B conjugates, b) the kinetics of the interleukin 4-mediated increase in conjugate formation and surface Ia expression were similar, c) 10- to 20-fold higher concentrations of anti-I-A antibody were required to inhibit T/B conjugate formation by 50% with interleukin 4-treated antigen-specific B cells compared with untreated antigen-specific B cells, and d) interferon-gamma, which inhibits the interleukin 4-mediated increase in Ia antigens, inhibited the interleukin 4-induced enhancement of T/B conjugate formation. These results indicate that the interleukin 4-induced increase in the expression of Ia antigens on B cells plays an important role in the enhancement of T/B cell interactions and the subsequent differentiation of antigen-specific B cells into antibody-secreting cells. 相似文献

Characterization of a spontaneous murine B cell leukemia (BCL1). I. Cell surface expression of IgM, IgD, Ia, and FcR. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The surface marker expression of a spontaneous B lymphocyte leukemia discovered in a BALB/c mouse (BCL1) was examined and found to include a subset of markers known to occur on normal B lymphocytes. The tumor cells bore surface Ig that included both mu- and delta-chains associated with the lambda light chain. Alloantigens coded for within the murine MHC, including H-2D, H-2K, and I-region products, were identified on the tumor cells. Although normal B lymphocytes are thought to express products coded for within both the I-A and I-E subregions, the BCL1 expressed only normal amounts of I-E subregion products. In addition, the H-2 and Ia antigens revealed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis exhibited an abnormal pattern of post-translational modifications. The Fc, but not the complement-receptor, was present on the surface of tumor cells. The presence of IgD, Ia antigens, and the responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide (see subsequent paper) have led us to postulate that the BCL1 tumor represents a later differentiative stage than murine B lymphocyte tumors previously described. 相似文献

Interferon-gamma induces enhanced expression of Ia and H-2 antigens on B lymphoid, macrophage, and myeloid cell lines 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25

The levels of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens (la antigens) on cells of a cultured B lymphoma line (WEHI-279) were significantly increased after 24 hr incubation with medium conditioned by concanavalin A-stimulated mouse or rat spleen cells, or by an azobenzenearsonate- (ABA) specific T cell clone that had been stimulated with ABA-coupled spleen cells or concanavalin A. The levels and properties of the la-inducing activity correlated with those of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) measured by inhibition of virus plaque formation. Both the la-inducing activity and the IFN-gamma from the T cell clone had an apparent m.w. of 40,000 determined by gel filtration, were sensitive to treatment with trypsin or exposure to pH 2, but were stable to heat (56 degrees C, 1 hr). The induction of la antigens on WEHI-279 cells was dose-dependent, and the maximum response occurred at a concentration corresponding to 1 to 2 U/ml of antiviral activity. This T cell-derived IFN-gamma-like molecule also increased the expression of cell surface la antigens on another B cell line (WEHI-231), and cell lines of macrophage (J774) and myeloid (WEHI-3B and WEHI-265) origin. Furthermore, in all cases the levels of class I MHC (H-2K or H-2D) antigens were also increased. Similar patterns of induction of Ia and H-2 antigens were obtained with supernatants containing IFN-gamma produced by a monkey cell line (COS) that had been transfected with a plasmid bearing the cloned murine IFN-gamma gene. This activity was sensitive to pH 2 and was not present in the supernatant from COS cells that were not transfected with the murine IFN-gamma gene. These results established that IFN-gamma is the T cell-derived molecule that induces the enhanced expression of Ia and H-2 antigens on B cells and macrophages. A major physiologic role of IFN-gamma may be to regulate immune function through the enhanced expression of MHC antigens. 相似文献

Several kinds of epithelial cells that express H-2 antigens were studied by immunoferritin labeling with an antiserum reacting only with antigens of theI region of theH-2 complex. Spleen lymphocytes were used to test the labeling system and the effect of the epithelial cell dissociation procedure on Ia antigens. Immunoglobulin-positive B10.BR lymphocytes were labeled with an anti-lak serum (A.TH anti-A.TL serum absorbed with BALB/c and B10.D2 cells), while congenic B10.D2 lymphocytes were unlabeled. The distribution of labeled Ia antigens on living B10.BR lymphocytes was patchy, while on cells fixed in periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde before labeling, the distribution of label was continuous. Fixation evidently immobilized Ia antigens in the lymphocyte membrane. Trypsin and collagenase, as used in the epithelial cell dissociation procedure, had no discernible effect on the Ia antigens of lymphocytes. The epithelial cells studied included the columnar absorptive cells of the small intestine, uterine lining epithelium, tracheal brush cells, and pancreatic exocrine and duct cells. These cells were fixed before dissociation from their respective tissues. Ia antigens were detected only on the columnar absorptive cells of the small intestine. These cells labeled equally well with an antiserum reacting only with theK -end of theH-2 complex. In both cases, congenic control intestinal cells were unlabeled. Thus, intestinal epithelial cells appear to express theIa, K, and presumablyD regions of theH-2 complex, while the other epithelial cell types express only the K and D antigens. On fixed intestinal epithelial cells, Ia and H-2K antigens were continuously distributed on the lateral and basal cell membranes including the zonula adherens, but the antigens were absent from the apical microvillous membrane and the zonula occludens. 相似文献

Immunization of BALB/c mice with MOPC-104E myeloma protein induced idiotype-specific enhancing cells which acted on anti-dextran antibody-producing cells. The enhancing cells have surface phenotypes of B cells. Using BALB/c H-2 congenic strains, it was found that the cooperation between anti-idiotypic-enhancing B lymphocytes and dextran-primed B lymphocytes was controlled by major histocompatibility gene complex. Here we have described the loci which restrict the successful cooperation between B lymphocytes, wherein it was revealed that the interaction was restricted to the I-A and I-E subregions in H-2k haplotype and the I-A subregion in H-2b haplotype. Utilizing several monoclonal antibodies specific for Ia antigens, it was revealed that the enhancing B lymphocyte activity was completely inhibited by the pretreatment of antibody-producing B cells with anti-Ia.7 in H-2d haplotype as well as H-2k, and with anti-I-A antibody in H-2b haplotype. The results suggest that the anti-idiotypic B-lymphocyte response to the self idiotype is under control of H-linked immune response (Ir) gene. 相似文献

Soluble factors produced during an immune response regulate Ia antigen expression by murine adenocarcinoma and fibrosarcoma cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

LT-85 is an alveologenic adenocarcinoma of C3Hf/HeN mice. Comparisons of the in vitro and in vivo surface properties of these cells revealed that under normal conditions, they expressed I-A and I-E antigens iv vivo only. By using clonally derived cells, it was established that this phenomenon was not due to the selection of an Ia antigen-positive tumor cell subpopulation, but resulted from phenotypic conversion of Ia antigen-negative tumor cells. These tumor cells and 1053 cells (a fibrosarcoma of C3H/HeN MTV- mice) could, however, be induced to express I-A, I-E, and much higher levels of H-2 antigens in vitro by co-culturing them with spleen cells from LT-85 tumor-bearing C3H/HeN MTV- mice. In vitro induction of Ia and H-2 antigens did not result from contaminating splenocytes or from antigen transfer, because splenocytes from BALB/c (H-2d) mice immunized with A/J (H-2k/d) cells were able to induce the expression of Iak antigens by both tumor cell lines. It was found that this phenomenon was neither H-2-restricted nor antigen-specific. The results clearly indicated, however, that an immune response was required to generate phenotypic conversion of the tumor cells, both in vivo and in vitro. It was further found that soluble, rather than cellular, factors produced during an immune response induced the expression of Ia antigens by LT-85 and 1053 tumor cells. In contrast to what has been reported about the induction of Ia antigens on macrophages and normal epithelial and endothelial cells, the induction of Ia antigens on LT-85 and 1053 cells did not appear to require T cells, and did not involve gamma-interferon. These findings demonstrate that some tumor cells are capable of altering their MHC antigen phenotype in response to factors produced during an immune response in vivo or in vitro. Because of the involvement of Ia antigens in several aspects of immune phenomena, the ability of tumor cells to differentially express Ia antigens in response to environmental factors may have profound effects on host-tumor interactions. Furthermore, the differences seen in the phenotypes of tumor cells grown in vitro and in vivo suggest that in vitro methodologies of tumor cell characterization may not present a complete picture of the natural state of the tumor cell surface. 相似文献

Sera obtained from normal B10.BR mice were shown to inhibit selectively a specific anti-Ia alloantiserum.Partial purification of the Ia antigenic activity was accomplished by isolation of the high density lipoproteins from these sera by fractional precipitation with sodium phosphotungstate and MgCL2. Both H-2.23 and Iak antigens present in this high density lipoprotein fraction were completely adsorbed by rabbit anit-rat beta2-microglobulin immunoadsorbents, whereas specific anti-H-2.23 immunoadsorbents removed only the H-2 activity. These data deomnstrate that Ia antigens, like H-2 antigens in the sera of B10.BR mice are associated with high density lipoproteins and further suggest that both H-2 and Ia antigens are associated with a beta2-microglobulin-like molecule. 相似文献

Membrane vesicles shed by murine melanoma cells selectively inhibit the expression of Ia antigen by macrophages 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We previously demonstrated that membrane vesicles shed by the F10 variant of the murine B16 melanoma cell line inhibited the induction by interferon-gamma (IFN) of murine macrophage immune response region-associated (Ia) antigen expression. In this paper we present evidence that the inhibition of macrophage Ia antigen expression is a selective effect of vesicles and characterize its temporal requirements. Membrane vesicles shed from F10 cells did not affect the expression of macrophage H-2K or H-2D antigens under conditions shown to profoundly inhibit Ia antigen expression. Similarly, the induction of plasminogen activator and interleukin 1 from macrophages was not inhibited by the vesicles. The vesicles did not measurably decrease total cellular RNA or protein synthesis. Macrophages were sensitive to the inhibitory effects of the vesicles during the induction and maintenance phases of Ia expression. Pretreatment of macrophages with vesicles before culture with IFN did not reduce the induction of Ia. The rate of decline of Ia expression after removal of IFN was unaffected by the presence of vesicles. Removal of vesicles from cultures of IFN-treated macrophages resulted in only a partial recovery of Ia expression, suggesting that the inhibition of Ia expression may be a slowly reversible process. The selective and partially reversible inhibition of Ia expression by vesicles shed from the plasma membrane of tumor cells is a possible mechanism whereby tumor-bearing hosts may become immunocompromised. 相似文献

Alloantisera to H-2K, H-2D, and Ia antigens markedly inhibited the binding of EA but not FITC-IgG by the B cell Fc receptor. EA rosette formation approached normal levels when masked H-2 but not Ia specificities were allowed to cap on the membranes of B cells. beta2-mu coated SRBC were bound by the Fc receptor, and high concentrations of soluble beta2-mu were found to moderately inhibit EA rosette formation while lower concentrations enhanced binding. The data support the concept of Fc/Ia identity, and they suggest that H-2K, H-2D, and the Fc receptor may be closely grouped on the membranes of B cells. Further, these observations suggest that the beta2-microglobulin associated with H-2 could serve to link T cells with the Fc receptor of B cells during the inductive phase of antibody synthesis. 相似文献

Neonatal tolerance inducibility of self-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-class II-associated antigens was compared with that of allo-class II antigens. BALB/c (H-2d, Mlsb) mice, less than 24 hr after birth, were intravenously injected with bone marrow cells of either (BALB/c X DBA/2)F1 (H-2d, Mlsb/a, semiallogeneic at the Mls locus) or (BALB/c X B10.BR)F1 (H-2d/k, Mlsb; semiallogeneic at the MHC), as antigens. The mice were tested for in vivo immune activity of class II-reactive T cells by means of the popliteal lymph node-swelling assay. They developed tolerance, irrespective of type of antigens, showing profoundly suppressed host-versus-graft reaction, and those tolerized to the allo-MHC antigens accepted skin grafts of the corresponding allogeneic mice. In the thymus and spleen of the Mls-tolerant mice, antigen-specific class II-reactive T-cell activity was completely abolished, without the apparent involvement of suppressor cells. In contrast, the activity in allo-MHC-tolerant mice was not reduced in either thymus or peripheral lymphoid organs, suggesting that systemic hyporesponsiveness is attributable to reversible suppression of immune competent cells. The resistance for cell-level tolerance induction to allo-class II antigens may not be ascribed to the active participation of allo-MHC antigens in prevention of or in escape from tolerance induction or both, since an injection of bone marrow cells of both Mls and H-2-semiallogeneic (DBA/2 X B10.BR)F1 (H-2d/k, Mlsa/b) mice could induce tolerance to Mlsa-H-2d antigens in newborn thymus cells. 相似文献

We have investigated the expression of products of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on BALB/c and A/J epidermal cells. By using reagents with specificity for various products of the MHC in an indirect immunofluorescence procedure, we found that H-2 antigens are expressed on the vast majority of epidermal cells. Ia antigens, by contrast, are present on only 2.4 to 6.9% of all epidermal cells. These Ia-bearing cells bear a receptor for the Fc portion of IgG and ultrastructurally exhibit the characteristics of Langerhans cells. Ia antigens on Langerhans cells are encoded for by at least the I-A and I-E/C subregions of the MHC. 相似文献

Induction and characterization of minor histocompatibility antigens. Specific primary cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A definite cytotoxic activity was developed in a BALB/c (H-2d) anti-DBA/2 primary mixed leukocyte culture (MLC), which received interleukin 2 (IL-2) on day 3 of culture. This cytotoxic activity was minor histocompatibility antigens (MIHA)-specific at the stimulator level, and was not developed in a syngeneic (BALB/c anti-BALB/c) MLC. The addition of IL-2 on day 3 of culture was crucial; no or very weak cytotoxic activity was developed in MLC receiving IL-2 on day 0 or on both day 0 and day 3. Only appropriate MIHA-allogeneic tumor cells were lysed as the target of the cytotoxic activity. The cytotoxic activity seemed MIHA-specific also at the target level; it lysed tumor cells of DBA/2 mouse origin but not those of BALB/c (syngeneic) origin. Phenotypes of the cytotoxic effector cell were Thy-1+ Lyt-2+. We concluded from these results that MIHA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were generated in the MIHA-allogeneic primary MLC. In this newly developed system, we studied genetic and antigenic requirements for primary anti-MIHA CTL responses in vitro. We demonstrated; among spleen cells (SC) of seven B10 H-2-congenic strains only SC of B10.D2 strain whose major histocompatibility complex (MHC) (H-2d) was compatible with the responder MHC effectively stimulated responder BALB/c (H-2d) SC for an anti-MIHA (DBA-C57BL-common) CTL response. Similarly, only SC of two out of seven C x B recombinant inbred strains (C x B.H and C x B.D), which were compatible at the MHC with responder SC, activated responder BALB/c SC for the response. The possibility that cells responding to H-2 alloantigens suppressed the anti-MIHA response was ruled out. Additional experiments showed that compatibility at the H-2K-end or the H-2D-end of the MHC was sufficient for a definite anti-MIHA response. These provided formal evidence that primary anti-MIHA CTL responses in vitro were MHC-restricted at the stimulator level. We then showed that sonication-disrupted SC or Sephadex G-10 column-passed nonadherent SC failed to stimulate responder SC for a primary anti-MIHA CTL response, whereas G-10-passed nonadherent SC responded well to adherent stimulator cells. Further study demonstrated that Ia+ adherent cells were the most active cell type as stimulator. Finally, we confirmed that the primary anti-MIHA CTL responses to adherent stimulator cells was MHC-restricted. 相似文献

We have demonstrated that although intestinal epithelial cells in fetuses and young rats do not express Ia antigens, in adult rats intestinal epithelial cells do express Ia antigens, as indicated by immunoperoxidase staining with monoclonal antibodies. Ia expression by intestinal epithelial cells appeared to be related to an increase in the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). Most of the IEL were T cells and expressed the phenotype associated with cytotoxic/suppressor T cells, and a large number contained cytoplasmic granules. To directly study a possible modulating effect of IEL on intestinal epithelium, an Ia-negative intestinal epithelial cell line (IEC 17) of rat origin was cultured in the presence of supernatants obtained from Con A- or PHA-stimulated lymphocytes. IEL, as well as spleen cells but not bone marrow cells, were able to secrete a factor(s) capable of inducing Ia antigens on IEC 17 cells, as judged by immunoperoxidase staining and radioimmunoassay. Ia-positive IEC 17 cells were detectable after 12 hr and maximum Ia expression was obtained by 48-hr incubation. Persistence of Ia expression by intestinal epithelial cells required the continued presence of Ia-inducing factor in the medium. Lymphocyte proliferation was not essential for the secretion of the Ia-inducing factor(s). The characteristics and the kinetics of secretion of the Ia-inducing factor were similar to that of an interferon-like activity, but not of interleukin 2. Con A-induced supernatants from IEL and spleen cells were also capable of suppressing the growth of IEC 17 cells. The results of this study indicate that IEL, because of their close association with intestinal epithelial cells, may be involved in modulating a variety of epithelial cell functions, including the expression of Ia antigens. This leads us to speculate that Ia-positive epithelial cells, like Ia-positive macrophages and dendritic cells, may be involved in antigen presentation to T lymphocytes. 相似文献

Keratinocytes express la antigen (Ia) during cutaneous graft-vs-host disease (GVHD); it is, however, unclear whether this Ia is adsorbed from alloactivated donor lymphocytes or from Ia-bearing host Langerhans cells (LC), or whether it is actively synthesized by host keratinocytes. We therefore sought to determine the origin of keratinocyte Ia in a murine model of GVHD. Lethally irradiated C3H/He (H-2k) mice developed characteristic histopathologic changes of acute cutaneous GVHD 7 days after injection of BALB/c (H-2d) bone marrow and spleen cells, and expressed keratinocyte Ia of host (Iak) but not donor (Iad) origin in immunofluorescence studies. To determine whether the Ia was synthesized by keratinocytes or adsorbed from host LC, we investigated GVHD that was induced in chimeric mice. Parental strain A mice were made chimeric by lethal irradiation and reconstitution with (A X B)F1 bone marrow cells as follows: (BALB/c X C3H/He)F1 (H-2d,k) leads to C3H/He (H-2k), B6C3F1 (H-2b,k) leads to C57BL/6 (H-2b), and B6C3F1 (H-2b,k) leads to C3H/He (H-2k). After 3 mo, the LC in the skin of these chimeric mice were mainly of F1 haplotype. The chimeric mice were again lethally irradiated and injected with marrow and spleen cells from a third strain of mouse (C57BL/6, H-2b or BALB/c, H-2d) histoincompatible with both F1 parental strains. In the ensuing GVHD, the chimeric recipients only expressed keratinocyte Ia syngeneic to the original haplotype of the animal (strain A), despite the fact that the majority of their LC were derived from F1 marrow and expressed Ia of both F1 parental strain haplotypes (strains A and B). Together, these findings indicate that keratinocyte Ia in GVHD is synthesized by keratinocytes and is not derived from donor lymphocytes or adsorbed from host LC. 相似文献

Ia8, a cell membrane antigen controlled by gene(s) located in the I region of the H-2 complex, was found on 9 of 26 murine leukemia cell lines. Iaddition, 3 of the 9 Ia8-bearing lines had a membrane receptor for antigen-antibody-complement complexes. Six of 26 lines bore the Thy-1.2 antigen. Ia8 and Thy-1.2 antigens were mutually exclusive on the cell lines studied. The strain of virus used to induce the leukemia, the H-2 type of the cells, and the techniques of leukemia cell propagation all appeared to influence the antigenic characteristics of the cell lines obtained. Production of infectious murine leukemia virus in vitro and expression of leukemia virus-induced membrane antigens did not appear to correlate with the presence of I8 or Thy-1.2 antigens or with the H-2 type of the cells. 相似文献

Summary The 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced BALB/c (H-2d) fibrosarcoma C-1 bears a strong tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA) which, in previous studies, appeared to be distinct from H-2k alien antigens expressed by this tumor. To see whether a syngeneic anti-C-1 serum obtained by multiple immunizations with C-1 tumor cells contained anti-TSTA-specific antibodies, in vitro cytotoxicity tests were performed. The syngeneic anti-C-1 serum had a high cytotoxic activity on C-1 cells, which allowed an absorption analysis to be carried out. Absorption of the serum with C3Hf, AKR, or B10.BR normal lymphoid cells (all sharing H-2k antigens) reduced the cytotoxic activity on C-1 cells to 30%–50%. This residual activity could not be absorbed by FMR+ or G+ murine leukemias, by ecotropic endogenous virus obtained from SC-1 cells infected with the C-1 virus, by embryonic cells, or by normal BALB/c or C57BL/6 lymphoid cells. Conversely, the serum activity was abrogated by absorbing with the MCA-induced BALB/c fibrosarcomas C-1, ST2, C-3, GI-17, or CMS-1, and significantly lowered by the MCA-induced C3Hf fibrosarcoma C3H-7. A significant reduction of the anti-C-1 cytotoxicity was also obtained by absorbing with the two BALB/c fibrosarcomas teflon-9 and SCS (both lacking TSTA), by means of fresh newborn BALB/c or C3Hf muscle cells or of in vitro-cultured newborn BALB/c fibroblasts. These results suggest that, in spite of the strong transplantation immunity elicited by C-1 cells, antibodies to the individual TSTA of C-1 were undetectable in the syngeneic anti-C-1 serum obtained from animals highly resistant to the challenge of C-1 cells. 相似文献
