Ag do not elicit T lymphocyte responses unless they are presented in conjunction with MHC molecules on the surface of an appropriate APC. In the case of CD4+ T lymphocytes dendritic cells can deliver all signals required for complete induction as can macrophages and (activated) B cells. The function of CTL also depends on the presence of specialized accessory cells. Here we show that these accessory cells can behave like scavenger cells. They use foreign Ag in the form of cellular debris as immunogen. They are also crucial for CTL induction because in vivo depletion of phagocytotic cells completely inhibits CTL responses. In these animals CTL activity could be restored by transfer of macrophages. All of the reappearing CTL used MHC restriction elements expressed by the infused macrophages. These experiments suggest that a cognate interaction between macrophages and CTL precursors initiates class I MHC-restricted immune responses. 相似文献

The kinetics of IgE antibody response to alum-absorbed dinitrophenyl derivatives of ovalbumin (DNP-OA) was dependent on the dose of immunogen. A persistent IgE antibody response was obtained when high responder BDF1 mice were immunized with a minimum (0.05 microgram) dose. An increase of the immunogen to 10 microgram depressed IgE antibody responses but enhanced IgG antibody responses of both hapten and carrier specificities. Determination of T helper cell activity and B memory cells after immunization with different doses of antigen indicated that minimum immunogen was favorable for developing helper activity, whereas 1 to 10 microgram immunogen were more favorable than a 0.05-microgram dose for developing both IgE and IgG B memory cells. Nevertheless, neither helper T cells nor B memory cells in the spleen explains a transient IgE antibody response to a high (10 microgram) dose of DNP-OA. Evidence was obtained that immunization with 10 microgram OA induced generation of antigen-specific suppressor T cells, which were not detectable after immunization with 0.05 microgram OA. Transfer of suppressor T cells to DNP-OA-primed mice depressed both anti-hapten and anti-carrier IgE antibody responses. The results suggested strongly that suppressor T cells are involved in a transient IgE antibody response to a high-dose immunogen. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DC) can be divided into three subsets, Langerhans cells, myeloid DC (MDC), and lymphoid DC (LDC), based upon phenotypic and functional differences. We hypothesized that different DC subsets are associated with the development of protective vs nonprotective cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses against the fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans. To test this, mice were immunized with protective and/or nonprotective immunogens, and DC subsets in draining lymph nodes were assessed by flow cytometry. The protective immunogen (cryptococcal culture filtrate Ag-CFA), in contrast to the nonprotective immunogen (heat-killed cryptococci-CFA), the nonprotective immunogen mixed with the protective immunogen (cryptococcal culture filtrate Ag + heat-killed cryptococci-CFA), or controls, stimulated significant increases in total leukocytes, Langerhans cells, MDC, LDC, and activated CD4+ T cells in draining lymph nodes. The protective immune response resulted in significantly increased levels of anticryptococcal delayed-type hypersensitivity reactivity and activated CD4+ T cells at the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction site. Draining lymph node LDC:MDC ratios induced by the protective immunogen were significantly lower than the ratios induced by either immunization in which the nonprotective immunogen was present. In contrast, mice given the nonprotective immunogen had LDC:MDC ratios similar to those of naive mice. Our data indicate that lymph node Langerhans cells and MDC are APC needed for induction of the protective response. The predominance of LDC in mice undergoing nonprotective responses suggests that lymph node LDC, like splenic LDC, are negative regulators of CMI responses. In addition to showing DC subsets associated with functional differences, our data suggest that the LDC:MDC balance, which can be modulated by the Ag, determines whether protective or nonprotective anticryptococcal CMI responses develop. 相似文献

It is still uncertain if cell-mediated immune reactions are more or less specific than antibody-mediated reactions. Accordingly, hapten and carrier specificity were examined in delayed hypersensitivity in guinea pigs. Hapten specificity was demonstrated with 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP)-guinea pig albumin (GPA), 2,6-DNP-GPA, 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-GPA, and dansyl (DNS)-GPA. Guinea pigs immunized with each of these conjugates were tested 7 days later with the immunogen and the other conjugates. Strong delayed skin responses were highly specific for the immunogen; there were some weak cross-reactions among the nitrophenyl conjugates, no crossre-actions between the DNS and nitrophenyl conjugates, and no responses to unconjugated GPA. Conjugates carrying different numbers (1–45) of 2,4-DNP groups per molecule were all able to elicit specific responses to 2,4-DNP.Carrier specificity in delayed hypersensitivity was confirmed by immunizing with 2,4-DNP-GPA, and challenging with the immunogen, with 2,4-DNP coupled to bovine albumin (BSA), rabbit IgG, ovalbumin, and hemocyanin. Strong responses were seen to the immunogen, a weak response to 2,4-DNP-BSA, and no response to the other conjugates. Specific immune recognition of both hapten and carrier determinants is therefore required for expression of delayed hypersensitivity. These cell-mediated reactions thus appear to be more specific than those of antibody-mediated reactions in solution. 相似文献

A marked level of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to Salmonella typhimurium-infection in mice, as determined by acquired resistance, delayed-type hypersensitivity, interleukin-2 production and interferon-gamma production, was induced by immunization with porin or viable cells but not with killed cells of S. typhimurium LT2. When the up-regulation of immune system to each immunogen was studied by comparing increases of Ia-bearing macrophages, the immunization with porin or viable cells, but not killed cells, could stimulate the immune system for more than 14 days. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) production of macrophages to each immunogen was also examined; the result showed that immunization with porin or viable cells could induce a notable level of IL-1 production, while killed cells could not. However, when the abilities to induce these immune responses were compared between UV-killed and heat-killed cells, UV-killed cells were superior to heat-killed cells. These results suggested that the ineffectiveness of immunogen that lacked CMI-inducing ability might be ascribed to the denaturation of antigen and the insufficient inductions of Ia-bearing macrophages and IL-1 production. 相似文献

The demonstration that TNP-binding B lymphocytes from animals whose B cells have been rendered tolerant to TNP by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid cannot undergo antigen-induced capping of their TNP receptors for at least a year despite recovery of immune responsiveness has led to a search for the mechanism of the capping failure. Microtubule-dependent membrane “locking” analogous to that induced by concanavalin A appears to afflict the tolerant B cells, in that capping TNP receptors is restored after exposure to 10?4M colchicine or overnight incubation at 4 °C. Assignment of the defect to the cytoskeleton rather than the receptors themselves is also supported by the observations that enzymatic stripping and regrowth of receptors does not unlock the cell and that non-Ig membrane molecules recognized by antilymphocyte serum also cannot be capped on the tolerant cells. Cells which have remained locked for 4 days to 8 months after a single tolerogen exposure become unlocked 4 days after immunogen is given. Four days after immunogen, tolerogen fails to lock the membranes of TNP-binding cells. These results suggest that tolerogen contact interferes in a much broader range of functions in the TNP-binding cell than those which affect the immune response. Among these effects is a remarkably stable “locked” configuration of the cytoskeleton which is independent of immune responsiveness or receptor turnover, but which can be reversed by exposure to immunogen whether or not an immune response ensues. 相似文献

The monoclonal antibody MPM-12, raised by using partially purified extract of mitotic HeLa cells as the immunogen, preferentially stains the cytoplasm of mitotic cells by indirect immunofluorescence without exhibiting any species specificity. On immunoblots, MPM-12 recognizes three bands, of 155, 88, and 68 kDa, in mitotic HeLa cell extract but only the 68-kDa band in interphase cell extract. The 68-kDa band seems to be associated with chromatin while the other two are not. All three MPM-12 reactive peptides are phosphorylated, and the phosphorylation seems to be required for MPM-12 reactivity. The MPM-12 immunocomplexes exhibit autophosphorylating and histone H1 kinase activity. 相似文献

In order to study the membrane function of tolerant B antigen-binding cells, tolerance to the trinitrophenyl (TNP) determinant was induced in mice by injecting the reactive form of the hapten, trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). By appropriate transfer experiments, Fidler and Golub (J. Immunol.112, 1891, 1974) had previously shown that this form of tolerance is a B-cell property, induced and expressed in the absence of T cells. Hapten inhibition demonstrated the TNP-specificity of receptors on TNP-donkey erythrocyte(TNP-D)-binding cells in tolerant and nontolerant mice. About 88% of these cells were B cells by immunofluorescence, and the remainder were T cells. In the tolerant mice, challenge with TNP-sheep erythrocytes failed to expand the TNP-binding population, but sheep erythrocyte binders and anti-sheep plaque-forming cells expanded normally. Despite little or no change in TNP-binding cell numbers after tolerance induction, the TNP-binding cells of tolerant animals could not cap their receptors, in contrast to the sheep erythrocyte-binding cells from the same animals which capped normally. Although there is no anti-TNP plaque-forming cell response when tolerogen and immunogen are given simultaneously, capping failure is not evident until 2–4 days after tolerogen exposure. By Day 7, substantial recovery of immune responsiveness had occurred, yet even 12 months after a single dose of tolerogen there was no restoration of capping. Thus despite the association of both capping failure and unresponsiveness with tolerogen exposure, these lymphocyte functional defects appeared not to be causally related. 相似文献

The importance of RNA in the immune response has been widely demonstrated in the literature. A model showing that the primary response is the result of the following three steps is proposed. (1) Lymphocyte derepression mediated by the antigen and its differentiation into a plasma cell. (2) Intracellular amplification, i.e. a mechanism that tends to enhance immunoglobulin synthesis in antibody-forming cells selected and activated by the antigen. (3) Intercellular amplification, i.e. transfer of this ability to synthesize to other lymphoid cells that are not related to the immunogen, resulting in the involvement of a much larger quota of the lymphocyte population in the response to the antigen. 相似文献

The highly conserved cluster of high-mannose glycans on the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein, gp120, has been highlighted as a target for neutralizing antibodies. 2G12, the first HIV-1 antiglycan neutralizing antibody described, binds with an unusual domain-exchanged structure that creates a high-affinity multivalent binding surface. It is an interesting challenge for rational vaccine design to generate immunogens capable of eliciting domain-exchanged 2G12-like responses. We recently showed that di-mannose recognition by the variable domains of 2G12 is independent of domain exchange but that exchange is critical for virus neutralization. Carbohydrate-based immunogens aimed at inducing 2G12-like antibodies may need to drive both di-mannose recognition and domain exchange through interactions with B cell receptors. Here we assessed the ability of such immunogens to activate mouse B cell lines displaying domain-exchanged wild-type 2G12 (2G12 WT), a non-domain-exchanged Y-shaped variant (2G12 I19R), and germ line 2G12 (2G12 gl). We show that several immunogens, including heat-killed yeast and bacteria, can activate both 2G12 WT and 2G12 I19R B cells. However, only discrete clusters of high-mannose glycans, as on recombinant forms of the HIV-1 envelope trimer and oligodendrons, activate 2G12 WT B cells. Furthermore, no immunogen tested activated 2G12 gl cells. Our results support the hypothesis that in order to drive domain exchange of an antimannose antibody response, a boost with an immunogen displaying discrete clusters of high-mannose glycans not recognized by conventional Y-shaped antibodies will be required. Additionally, a molecule capable of activating 2G12 gl cells might also be required. The results highlight broadly neutralizing antibody-expressing mouse B cells as potentially useful tools for carbohydrate immunogen screening. 相似文献

Hapten-modified spleen cells, peritoneal exudate cells, and certain lymphoid tumors preferentially induce specific tolerance after i.v. administration. In contrast to these tolerogenic carrier cells, we found that a haptenated lymphoid dendritic-like tumor, P388AD.2, acts as a potent immunogen after i.v. injection. The immunogenicity of P388AD.2 was analyzed by measuring the specific augmentation of plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses when spleen cells from mice previously injected with haptenated tumor cells were challenged in vitro with thymus-independent antigens. Optimal immunization was found to be dependent on cell dose and hapten concentrations. Further studies indicated that P388AD.2 elicited a response which was T cell-dependent and which involved both the so-called Lyb-3,5,7- and Lyb-3,5,7+ B cell populations. Injection of haptenated tumor into different mouse strains suggested that H-2 compatibility was required to prime B cells in vivo, although significant augmentation could also be achieved in allogeneic C57B1/6J mice. The enhanced PFC responses elicited in H-2b mice could not be explained by allo-recognition of class I or II MHC determinants. In toto, these results suggest that P388AD.2 acts as a unique accessory cell for the presentation of hapten-modified self. 相似文献

It is postulated that unique nanoscale proteomic features of immunogen on vaccine particles may determine immunogen‐packing density, stability, specificity, and pH‐sensitivity on the vaccine particle surface and thus impact the vaccine‐elicited immune responses. To test this presumption, we employed near‐filed scanning optical microscopy (NSOM)‐ and atomic force microscopy (AFM)‐based nanotechnology to study nano‐structural and single‐molecule force bases of Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) V immunogen fused with protein anchor (V‐PA) loaded on gram positive enhancer matrix (GEM) vaccine particles. Surprisingly, the single‐molecule sensitive NSOM revealed that ~90% of V‐PA immunogen molecules were packed as high‐density nanoclusters on GEM particle. AFM‐based single‐molecule force analyses indicated a highly stable and specific binding between V‐PA and GEM at the physiological pH. In contrast, this specific binding was mostly abrogated at the acidic pH equivalent to the biochemical pH in phagolysosomes of antigen‐presenting‐cells in which immunogen protein is processed for antigen presentation. Intranasal mucosal vaccination of mice with such immunogen loaded on vaccine particles elicited robust antigen‐specific immune response. This study indicated that high‐density, high‐stability, specific, and immunological pH‐responsive loading of immunogen nanoclusters on vaccine particles could readily be presented to the immune system for induction of strong antigen‐specific immune responses. 相似文献

We have characterized the function of a new neurogenic locus, brainiac (brn), during oogenesis. Homozygous brn females lay eggs with fused dorsal appendages, a phenotype associated with torpedo (top) alleles of the Drosophila EGF receptor (DER) locus. By constructing double mutant females for both brn and top, we have found that brn is required for determining the dorsal-ventral polarity of the ovarian follicle. However, embryos from mature brn eggs develop a neurogenic phenotype which can be zygotically rescued if a wild-type sperm fertilizes the egg. This is the first instance of a Drosophila gene required for determination of dorsal-ventral follicle cell fates that is not required for determination of embryonic dorsal-ventral cell fates. The temperature-sensitive period for brn dorsal-ventral patterning begins at the inception of vitellogenesis. The interaction between brn and DER is also required for at least two earlier follicle cell activities which are necessary to establish the ovarian follicle. Prefollicular cells fail to migrate between each oocyte/nurse cell complex, resulting in follicles with multiple sets of oocytes and nurse cells. brn and DER function is also required for establishing and/or maintaining a continuous follicular epithelium around each oocyte/nurse cell complex. These brn functions as well as the brn requirement for determination of dorsal-ventral polarity appear to be genetically separable functions of the brn locus. Genetic mosaic experiments show that brn is required in the germline during these processes whereas the DER is required in the follicle cells. We propose that brn may be part of a germline signaling pathway differentially regulating successive DER-dependent follicle cell activities of migration, division and/or adhesion and determination during oogenesis. These experiments indicate that brn is required in both tyrosine kinase and neurogenic intercellular signaling pathways. Moreover, the functions of brn in oogenesis are distinct from those of Notch and Delta, two other neurogenic loci that are known to be required for follicular development. 相似文献

The monoclonal antibody to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was generated after fusion of PAI myeloma cells with immunized BALB/c mouse spleen cells, using intact A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells as an immunogen. The antibody, denoted 5A9, is an IgG, which recognizes a protein with molecular mass 170 kDa during immunoblot analysis, immunoprecipitates phosphoprotein with molecular mass 170 kDa from the membrane preparations of A431 cells, and, according to immunofluorescence experiments, is distributed in the cell similar to the EGF-rhodamine conjugate. It is concluded that the produced antibodies are specific to EGF-receptor. At the same time the 5A9 (50 nM) do not compete with EGF for binding with high and low affinity receptors. They fail to induce internalization of the EGF-receptor and do not exert influence on intracellular degradation of EGF-receptor. Monoclonal antibodies 5A9 are also unable to inhibit the EGF-induced protein kinase activity of the receptor and do not stimulate protein kinase activity by themselves. Thus, the prepared monoclonal antibodies can be used to register the EGF-receptor cellular localization without affecting biologic activity of the receptor. 相似文献

Amide-hydrogen exchange of three anti-yeast iso-1-cytochrome-c IgG monoclonal antibodies and the Fab, prepared from one of them, were studied by infrared spectrophotometry in the presence and absence of the deuterated immunogen and evolutionarily related species (the deuterated immunogen contained a population of a dimer. Each subunit of the dimer appeared to bind to the antibodies in a manner similar to the monomer). The number of hydrogens of the antibodies whose exchange was suppressed on binding to the immunogen was found to exceed that estimated for the residues shielded by the immunogen. Analysis of the data suggests that such suppression of hydrogen exchange occurs mainly for the Fab domains, but not for the Fc. One of the antibodies showed two distinct classes of amide-hydrogens. Class-1 hydrogens (approx. 36/site) exchange faster than class 2 (approx. 37/site). The exchange of class-1 hydrogens was suppressed by binding to the immunogen, but not to the evolutionarily related species. The exchange of class-2 hydrogens was suppressed by binding to the evolutionarily related species, as well as to the immunogen. Thus, the suppression of exchange of class-1 hydrogens appears to occur by some kind of conformational stabilization, the mechanism of which differentiates between the deuterated immunogen and the evolutionarily related species. Evidence suggests that the trans-interactions of the Fab domains may modulate the hydrogen exchange. If it is assumed that the antigen-binding strengthens the trans-interactions in such a way that the exchange of the slower exchanging hydrogens is suppressed, this could explain the suppression of exchange of class-2 hydrogens. 相似文献

Chemically induced tumors of mice exhibit apparently unique antigenicity upon syngeneic transplantation into appropriately immunized hosts. An in vitro counterpart of this pattern in terms of specificity has not been reported. Data are presented that demonstrate that immune peritoneal exudates contain cells cytotoxic for the specific immunogen tumor but with rare exceptions, not toward other syngeneic methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcomas. Only tumors highly immunogenic by transplantation criteria induce cytotoxic PEC regularly; nonimmunogenic tumors consistently fail to do so. The effector cell responsible is eliminated by pretreatment with anti-Thy.1 but not anti-Ig plus complement. In concomitant experiments, PEC populations cytotoxic in vitro also conveyed adoptive protection against the specific tumor in syngeneic hosts. This in vitro assay appears to provide a tool for studying T cell-mediated cytotoxicity toward a set of unique surface antigens present on chemically induced tumors. 相似文献

Cellular aspects of tolerance. III. The responsiveness of T cells from tolerant donors after exposure to a cross-reacting antigen 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Mice, rendered tolerant to rabbit gamma globulin (RGG), were immunized with RGG or with dinitrophenylated RGG (DNP40-RGG), incorporated in adjuvant. The resulting response was evaluated in terms of the half-life of trace labeled RGG (131I-RGG). An antibody response against the tolerance inducing macromolecule could be elicited with DNP40-RGG, but not with RGG. Reconstitution experiments revealed that thymus derived (T) cells from tolerant donors could cooperate with bone marrow cells from normal donors in the response elicited by DNP40-RGG, but could not effectively cooperate with bone marrow derived (B) cells from tolerant donors. Such B cells could cooperate with T cells from normal donors. The relative difference between native and chemically modified proteins played an important role in this tolerance circumvention, since analogous experiments with human instead of rabbit gamma globulin did not result in an effective response to determinants of the tolerance-inducing proteins. It was suggested that the number of effectively immunogenic determinants on DNP40-RGG was low in B and in T cells of animals tolerant to RGG and that the probability of effective cooperation was consequently extremely low. If one of the two cell types came from a normal animal and thus could respond to a large number of determinants, the probability of effective cooperation increased so as to reveal the responsiveness of the “tolerant” cell population. There was no indication that the responsiveness of the tolerant T cell population was directed against tolerance-inducing determinants. 相似文献

Spleen cells were modified with varying concentrations of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and then assayed for both their ability to stimulate syngeneic spleen cells into displaying a cytotoxic effect against TNP-modified target cells and for the extent of TNP derivatization of H-2 antigens. It was found that there was a direct correlation between the extent of derivatization of H-2 antigens and the ability of such derivatized cells to act as stimulator cells in the TNP-CML assay. Thus, these data lend support to the altered self or interaction antigen hypothesis as the explanation for the H-2 gene restriction of syngeneic CML. Target cells were also modified with TNBS at varying concentrations to determine the optimal concentration required to permit lysis in the CML assay. The results of these experiments indicate that similar concentration ranges of TNBS are required to create antigenic determinants on the target cells as well as immunogenic determinants on the stimulator cells that can be recognized by cytotoxic T cells. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that nonimmune guinea pig T lymphocytes could be specifically sensitized with TNP-modified allogeneic macrophages after eliminating the alloreactive T cells with bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and light treatment. This procedure allowed the unique opportunity to use anti-Ia sera directed against the Ia antigens of only the stimulator macrophages or responder T cells to determine against which cell type anti-Ia would block TNP-specific stimulation. It was found that the TNP-specific DNA synthetic response of BUdR and light-treated T cells stimulated with TNP-modified allogeneic macrophages was totally eliminated by anti-Ia sera directed solely against the allogeneic stimulator macrophage. In contrast, anti-Ia sera directed only against the responder T cells had no effect on their response to TNP-modified allogeneic macrophages. These findings indicate that macrophage Ia antigens are required for efficient T cell-macrophage interactions and raise the possibility that T cell Ia antigens may not be required for collaboration with macrophages. This latter possibility was substantiated by experiments in which we show that treating T cells with anti-Ia sera and complement to remove the Ia-positive cells either before or after priming, or both, had no effect on their ability to be primed and restimulated with TNP-modified macrophages. 相似文献

Previous experiments with the simian virus 40 mutant tsA357R-K (tsA30) demonstrated a T-antigen function that is required for production of cells with a greater-than-G2-phase DNA content. In this study, temperature shift experiments indicated that the temperature-sensitive function of tsA357R-K, which is necessary for entry into the greater-than-G2 phase, is not required in G1 or S but must be supplied in the G2 phase. 相似文献
