Migration of natural suppressor cells from bone marrow to peritoneal cavity by live BCG 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses were suppressed in mice inoculated with bone marrow cells from mice that had been injected with 10(8) colony-forming units (CFU) of live BCG. Upon analysis of this DTH-suppression by the use of a macrophage migration inhibition (MI) assay, the in vitro correlate of DTH, suppressor macrophages in the peritoneal cavity were found to play an important role in DTH suppression. However, neither suppression of DTH nor production of suppressor macrophages was observed in mice inoculated with bone marrow cells from mice that had been injected with methotrexate (MTX), a folic acid antagonist, and 10(8) CFU of live BCG. Moreover, suppressor cells against the MI activity of peritoneal exudate cells from BCG cell wall-immunized mice existed in bone marrow cells from normal mice, natural suppressor (NS) cells, and they were sensitive to MTX. In addition, these NS cells phagocytized carbonyl iron particles, were adherent to Sephadex G-10, and had Fc receptors, but they had no B or T cell markers, suggesting that these cells belonged to a macrophage compartment. From this evidence, we hypothesized that the origin of suppressor macrophages in the peritoneal cavity induced by live BCG injection was MTX-sensitive NS cells in bone marrow, and that these NS cells were stimulated by a small dose of live BCG trapped in bone marrow after i.v. injection of a high dose of live BCG and migrated from bone marrow to the peritoneal cavity. 相似文献

Modulation of autoimmunity in NZB mice by cyclophosphamide-induced, nonspecific suppressor cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A group of NZB mice received six biweekly injections of cyclophosphamide-induced nonspecific suppressor cells, with treatment commencing at 2 mo of age. Mice were evaluated for Coombs and natural thymocytotoxic antibody at 6-wk intervals thereafter, and for anti-DNA autoantibodies, total IgM and IgG levels, and renal histology at selected time points. The administration of suppressor cells resulted in marked and prolonged suppression of both Coombs and natural thymocytotoxic antibody reactivity in the majority of animals while not measurably affecting the levels of anti-DNA autoantibodies, the total IgM and IgG levels, or the life span of the mice. 相似文献

The selective growth of murine newborn-derived suppressor cells and their probable mode of action 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Naturally occurring suppressor cells residing in the spleens of newborn mice of less than 5 days old are known to suppress various lymphocyte activities. A population of these suppressor cells can be maintained and expanded in the supernatants derived from Wehi-3 cells. These suppressor cells, designated as Wehi-3-expanded neonatal splenocytes (WENS), can suppress mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) and T and B cell mitogen responses without any genetic restrictions. The WENS bear the Ly-5, J11d, and class I molecules. WENS suppression is not mediated through an interleukin 1 or interleukin 2 absorptive mechanism. To achieve maximum suppression of MLR, WENS must be present for at least 24 hr. WENS inhibited the proliferation of Wehi-164 cells but not other tumor cells. The inhibition of Wehi-164 growth was due to the action of natural cytotoxic cells, because WENS lysed Wehi-164 cells but not the natural killer target cell YAC-1. Maximum lysis of Wehi-164 by WENS required 18 to 24 hr. Five WENS cell lines were cultured for more than 6 mo; three of the cell lines lost their capacity to lyse Wehi-164 targets (natural cytotoxicity) and simultaneously lost their natural suppressor activity. The two WENS lines that retained natural cytotoxicity also retained natural suppressor activity. Thus, natural suppressor cells may manifest their suppression through a natural cytotoxicity mechanism. 相似文献

Immune complexes (soluble antigens of L1210 and antibody to L1210) when given to allogeneic C3H mice generated suppressor cells that inhibited receptors for cytophilic antibody on macrophages. Thymocytes or nylon-nonadherent splenic T cells (4 × 107) from immune-complex-treated mice transferred this suppressive activity when injected into normal syngeneic mice. Maximal suppression of macrophages occurred 4 to 6 days after transfer. In contrast, even 5 × 107 nylon-adherent, non-T spleen cells from immune-complex-treated (“suppressed”) mice failed to induce macrophage suppression in the syngeneic recipients. When T-cell-depleted “B” mice were used as recipients, neither thymocytes nor splenic T cells from suppressed mice were able to transfer suppressive activity. However, the admixture of 2 × 107 normal syngeneic thymocytes with 4 × 107 thymocytes from suppressed mice restored the latter's ability to elicit suppression of macrophages in T-cell-deprived recipients. Peritoneal monocytes from recipients of suppressor thymocytes (to L1210) could not attach cytophilic antibody to L1210 but could attach cytophilic antibody to EL-4 and sheep erythrocytes. Thus, suppressor T cells induced by immune complexes can transfer immunologically specific macrophage suppression (inhibition of cytophilic antibody receptors) to syngeneic recipients. The suppressor cells required the cooperation of normal T cells, suggesting either recruitment of suppressor cells from, or a helper effect by, the normal T cells, in order to produce their effect. 相似文献

The role of suppression in natural and induced tolerance to F antigen was investigated in two sets of experiments. In the first, CBA mice were submitted to pretreatments which decrease suppression and the antibody response to self- or allo-F type was investigated. The second set of experiments involved the transfer of spleen cells from tolerized or from naturally tolerant mice into normal mice which were then primed with allo-F, as well as the co-transfer of tolerant and primed lymphocytes into normal mice, to test whether tolerant lymphocytes present suppressor cells. The results indicate that the immune response against allo-F antigen is normally kept in a low level by a suppressive mechanism, and that F-specific suppressor T cells are absent from tolerant mice.Abbreviations used in this paper ATx

Mechanism for the suppression of gamma-interferon responsiveness in mice after thermal injury 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
As reported previously, gamma-interferon production was decreased after the administration of inducers to thermally injured mice as compared with noninjured controls. Similarly, spleen cells from injured mice had decreased ability to produce interferon in vitro after stimulation with inducers. The present study demonstrated that the decrease in interferon production was associated with the presence of suppressor cells in the spleen of burned mice that were capable of inhibiting interferon production by normal splenic lymphocytes in vitro. Passive transfer of spleen cells containing suppressor cell activity derived from injured mice induced suppression in normal mice, and the time of the appearance of suppressor cell activity in injured mouse spleens closely approximated the time of the appearance of the suppression of interferon production observed in mice after thermal injury. The suppressor cells were characterized as a population of macrophages by the following: they adhered to plastic surface and could be removed from spleen cells by carbonyl-iron treatment; treatment of plastic-adherent cells with anti-Thy-1.2 and anti-mouse immunoglobulin antisera followed by complement failed to abrogate the suppression produced by these cells. 相似文献

The spleens of mice bearing large M-1 fibrosarcomas have been shown to contain several populations of cells which nonspecifically suppress antibody synthesis by cocultured normal spleen cells. It has now been shown that the spleens of tumor-bearing mice also contain inducer cells which secrete soluble factors capable of activating suppressor T cells from unprimed precursor cells. The activated suppressor cells are Thy 1+, Lyt 1+2+ and secrete a soluble suppressive factor. They inhibit the in vitro generation of antibody-forming cells by cocultured normal spleen cells stimulated by T-cell-dependent antigens. They do not, however, suppress the antibody response to T-cell-independent antigens and do not inhibit antibody synthesis by cocultured nude mouse spleen cells cultured with T-cell-dependent antigens and exogenous helper factors. In addition, suppression is blocked if conditioned medium containing T-cell growth factors is added to the suppressor cell assays. These data suggest that cells in the spleens of tumor-bearing mice secrete inducing factors which activate suppressor cells. These activated suppressor cells in turn secrete soluble suppressor factors which inhibit antibody synthesis, possibly by interfering with the synthesis or release of T-cell growth factors. 相似文献

Mice with the CBA/N defect (xid) are unresponsive to phosphorylcholine (PC), To determine whether idiotype-specific suppressor T cells can also be generated in these defective mice, defective (CBA/N X BALB/c)F1 male and nondefective (CBA/N X BALB/c)F1 female or (BALB/c X CBA/N)F1 male mice were neonatally injected with antibodies specific for the major idiotype of anti-PC antibody, i.e., anti-TEPC-15 idiotype (T15id) antibody. Suppressor cell activity was examined by co-culturing spleen cells from neonatally treated F1 mice with spleen cells of normal nondefective F1 mice in the presence of antigen. Spleen cells from defective (CBA/NM X BALB/c)F1 mice treated with anti-T15id antibody demonstrated a level of suppressor activity (greater than 83% suppression) comparable to that of similarly treated nondefective F1 mice. This suppression was specific for the T15id of anti-PC response, and a Lyt-1-2+-bearing T cell population appeared to be responsible for the active suppression. These suppressor T cells recognized T15 but not PC, based on a functional absorption test. These results indicate that the CBA/N defects, including the deficiency in the anti-PC response by B lymphocytes and a possible T cell defect, do not influence the generation of T15id-specific suppressor T cells by neonatal injection with anti-T15id antibody. 相似文献

Antigen-nonspecific CD8+ T suppressor cells, which suppressed delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) against sheep red blood cells in BALB/c mice, were induced by incubating spleen cells from mice treated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), a tumor initiator, with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), a tumor promoter. The optimal condition was incubation in 3.2 x 10(-8) mol/5 ml of TPA for 4 days. It was shown that induction of the suppressor cells required macrophages from mice treated with DMBA. These data were consistent with the results of previous work, in which CD8+ suppressor cells were induced by painting BALB/c mice with TPA following DMBA treatment. DTH was suppressed in the culture supernatants of spleen cells from mice treated with DMBA and TPA; the suppression was genetically unrestricted. The suppressor factor was resistant to trypsin and sensitive to heating at 56 degrees C for 30 min and had affinity for the macrophages. 相似文献

The role of suppressor cells in the induction of murine photoallergic contact dermatitis and in its suppression by prior UVB irradiation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Induction in mice of marked photoallergic contact dermatitis (PCD) to 3,3',4',5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCSA) with UVA (320 to 400 nm) radiation requires pretreatment with cyclophosphamide (CY). Attempts to induce photoallergic contact dermatitis without CY result in only a small degree of sensitivity, accompanied by significant net splenic suppressor cell activity. These suppressor cells are antigen specific, inhibit the induction but not the elicitation of photoallergic contact dermatitis to TCSA, and are T lymphocytes. Exposure of mice to UVB (280 to 320 nm) radiation at a site distant from that of sensitization, before CY administration and sensitization, inhibits the development of photoallergic contact dermatitis. This is analogous to the suppression of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) observed in mice after exposure to UVB radiation; such suppression is accompanied by the formation of antigen-specific splenic suppressor cells. However, in contrast to the findings with allergic contact dermatitis, splenic suppressor cells are not detected in mice that are treated with UVB radiation before CY administration and sensitization to TCSA. This is presumably because CY prevents their formation. This provides evidence that UVB-irradiated mice have a second form of anergy that is not mediated by suppressor cells. 相似文献

The cellular and molecular characteristics of anti-idiotype-induced suppression have been investigated. We have shown that i.v. immunization of A/J or C.AL-20 mice with rabbit antibodies against the major cross-reactive idiotype on A/J anti-ABA antibodies induces splenic suppressor T cells (Ts) able to suppress T cell-mediated cytolytic and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses to ABA. In these studies, we compare the T suppressor activity manifested by anti-Id-induced suppressor cells with that described previously after conventional antigen priming. Results indicate that i.v. injection of anti-idiotypic antibodies primes for efferent level Ts; in contrast, i.v. administration of ABA-coupled cells induces afferent level suppressor cells. Soluble cell lysates, containing suppressor factor(s) derived from these anti-idiotype-induced Ts, can also mediate suppression of T cell immune responses in an efferent manner. Factor-mediated suppression is MHC-unrestricted and is also observed in mice pretreated with cyclophosphamide, suggesting that this activity is analogous to third-order suppression. Furthermore, this factor suppresses the T cell-mediated DTH and CTL responses in an antigen-nonspecific but Igh-restricted manner. These latter results suggest that the cellular elements conferring antigen specificity and Igh restriction are separate. The implications of these findings to the relationship between idiotypic elements, antigen-binding structures, and Igh restriction elements on immunoregulatory T cells are discussed. 相似文献

Corynebacterium parvum, injected intravenously into C57B1/6 mice (H-2b) previously alloimmunized with P815 (H-2d) mastocytoma cells, generated splenic suppressor cells that inhibited the development of primary cytotoxic lymphocytes in vitro. These suppressor cells differed from those generated by intravenous C. parvum injection of naive C57B1/6 mice. The former suppressor cells were effectively induced by administration of 700 μg of C. parvum whereas the latter suppressor cells were dependent upon higher doses (1400 μg) of adjuvant for their activation. Furthermore, suppressor cells generated in alloimmunized mice could only suppress C57B1/6 anti-P815 in vitro cytotoxic responses whereas suppressor cells generated in naive mice could suppress C57B1/6 anti-CBA (H-2k) responses as well. Suppressor cells were not H-2 restricted in their action. Fractionation of spleens from alloimmunized, C. parvum-treated mice revealed the presence of suppressor T cells and suppressor macrophages. We were unable, however, to determine which cell was responsible for “antigen specificity” of suppression since the fractionation procedures seemed to trigger both suppressor cell types prior to adding them to the primary culture. 相似文献

Immunosuppression in murine renal cell carcinoma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In our companion paper we have reported that cell-mediated immunity of mice bearing renal cell carcinoma is profoundly suppressed. The non-responsiveness of such animals was found to be attributable to Renca cells themselves and to splenic lymphoid cells that down-regulate other fully capable lymphoid cells. In this communication the lymphoid cell source of suppression within Renca-bearing mice has been explored with the aim of identifying phenotypes of the responsible cells, the manner by which suppression is mediated, and initial ways by which suppression may be eliminated. A plastic-adherent cell bearing the Thy1.2 surface marker as well as the Lyt1 and Lyt2 antigens has been found to operate, perhaps in conjunction with macrophages, to down-regulate lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell development for natural killer (NK) and non-NK targets that include Renca cells themselves. The splenic suppressor cells lost the capacity to suppress the NK response of normal recipient mice upon shallow irradiation (250 rad) prior to adoptive transfer. Spleen cells, presumably macrophages, from Renca-bearing mice were found to suppress the generation of LAK and NK cells in vitro by synthesizing prostaglandins. Indomethacin, a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, blocked the induction of suppression both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting the presence of endogenous prostaglandins in Renca-bearing mice. The suppression seen in Renca-bearing mice that derives from multiple sources and has been prevented by two separate methods has been discussed from the viewpoint of the inter-relatedness of the sources. 相似文献

In vitro proliferative response of lung cells from mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv against PPD and Con A was studied. It was shown that the infected lung contained immune T cells, but their response in vitro was totally inhibited by plastic and nylon wool adherent suppressor cells. The whole population of lung cells from infected, but not intact mice, efficiently suppressed the proliferative response of immune lymph node cells against various antigens (non-specific suppression). The inhibition of response again depended on the presence of plastic adherent lung cells. Our data suggest that at least two suppressor pathways are induced in the course of tuberculosis infection: one being specific for mycobacterial antigens and other non-specific. Both types of suppressor pathways depend on the plastic adherent lung cells from tuberculosis lesion. 相似文献

During a short period of time after birth or after radiotherapy, the spleens of neonatal and adult TLI-treated mice contain suppressor cells of the mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) and of graft-vs-host disease. The present report shows that the MLR suppressive activity of spleen cells from TLI-treated adult BALB/c mice can be maintained in long-term tissue culture by using conditioned medium. The suppressor cells can be cloned by limiting dilution, and reproducibly inhibit the [3H]TdR incorporation in the MLR at responder-to-suppressor cell ratios of 50:1. There is no antigen specificity or H-2 haplo-type restriction of the MLR suppression. The suppressor cells do not inhibit [3H]TdR per se, because no inhibition was observed in co-culture experiments with the EL4 tumor line or the IL 2-dependent HT-2 cell line. By using immunofluorescent staining techniques, the surface phenotype of the suppressor cells was found to be similar to that reported previously for cloned NK cells (Thy-1+, Lyt-1-, Lyt-2-, Ig-, Ia-, MAC-1-, asialo-GM1+). However, the suppressor lines showed no natural killer activity when YAC-1 target cells were used. Thus, the suppressor lines have been termed "natural suppressor" cells to indicate surface marker similarities to NK cells, both in vivo and in vitro, but different effector functions. 相似文献

Thymectomy of young adult mice has been found to prevent virus-induced lymphomas which develop as the animals age. Thymectomy protects mice by removing a source of suppressor T cells which inhibit the generation of cytolytic T cells against autochthonous tumors. Furthermore, suppression is specific since T cells are regulated in their capacity to respond to syngeneic but not allogeneic tumor cells. To determine if suppression could be adoptively transferred, lethally irradiated, bone-marrow-reconstituted mice were inoculated with T cells from either normal or thymectomized mice. Only T cells from thymectomized animals transferred enhanced T-cell reactivity to syngeneic tumor cells. More importantly, T cells from thymectomized mice injected with virus protected recipients challenged with lethal doses of syngeneic tumor cells. We conclude that thymectomy protects mice from developing virus-induced T-cell lymphomas by removing a source of suppressor T cells which regulates the activity of specific cytolytic T cells directed against autochthonous tumor cells. 相似文献

We have investigated the suppression of the anti-dextran B1355S immune response using our model of modified self. The anti-dextran response is idiotypically well defined in BALB/c mice. This system enables us to examine the contribution of various predominant idiotypes to the antibody response under conditions of suppression by antigen or by idiotype-specific suppressor cells. Our results demonstrate that the total anti-dextran response can be inhibited by pretreatment of animals with dextran-coupled syngeneic spleen cells; however, the representation of major idiotypes constituting this response are not reduced in percentage. In contrast, pretreatment of mice with MOPC-104E-coupled spleen cells leads to a specific suppression of the private IdI-104E idiotype. The total anti-dextran response remains unchanged, as well as proportions of other major idiotypes known (IdI-588 and IdX). This suppression is mediated by Thy-1.2+, Lyt-2.2+ T cells, as demonstrated by adoptive transfer assays. This system will allow the molecular dissection of the regulation of an idiotypically well-defined system for the suppression by either antigen- or idiotype-specific suppressor T cells. 相似文献

Soluble antigen-antibody complexes composed of 3 M KCl-extracted L1210 antigens and alloantibody to L1210 given to C3H mice caused immunosuppression in the mice. This was reflected in part by the inhibition of cytophilic antibody receptors on macrophages which could be used as a measure of the suppression. Thymocytes or splenic T cells from mice treated with immune complexes could adoptively transfer the suppression to normal syngeneic mice. These cells, which we have termed suppressor inducers, were found to be Ia positive: specifically, I-A+, I-J?. Thus, treatment of the inducers with anti-la or anti-I-A antibodies and complement in vitro abrogated their ability to transfer the suppression to normal mice. In contrast treatment with anti-I-J serum and complement had no effect. Through a similar approach, the cooperating (acceptor) T cells were found to be I-A+, I-J?. Pretreatment of mice with anti-Ia or anti-I-A serum before the administration of antigen-antibody complexes prevented the inhibition of macrophages. This was due at least in part to steric hindrance of adjacent Fc receptors on the FcR+ T cells with which the complexes interacted. Early interaction of immune complexes with FcR+ T cells was in fact demonstrated directly by the inability of the complexes to induce suppression when FcR+ T cells were depleted. The thymocytes or splenic T cells from anti-Ia-pretreated mice failed to transfer the suppression to recipient mice. In contrast, treatment with either anti-Ia or anti-I-A after the immune complexes did not abrogate the generation of suppressor inducers. Treatment of normal recipient mice with anti-Ia serum in vivo before they received the suppressor inducer cells did not prevent cooperation between the two types of cells. By the same token, blocking of Ia antigens of the inducers in vitro with anti-Ia serum (without complement) also did not impair the cooperative interaction. These results indicate that antigen-antibody complexes generate I-A-positive, I-J-negative T-suppressor inducer cells from FcR+ naive T cells. These in turn interact with Ia-positive (I-A+ and I-J?) normal thymocytes or spleen T cells. This interaction most likely generates the ultimate suppressor T cells that suppress cytophilic antibody receptors on macrophages in vivo. However, the I-region determined antigens did not appear to be directly involved in the T-T interaction of suppressor inducer and acceptor cells. 相似文献

Chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (CR-EAE) can be adoptively transferred using myelin basic protein (BP)-specific helper T cell lines, and suppressor cells may be important in recovery from EAE. In order to generate suppressor cells, spleen cells obtained from BP-complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) inoculated SJL/J mice and from normal mice were cultured for 7 days with medium, with cyclosporin A (CsA), or with CsA and antigen (BP or purified protein derivative of mycobacterium (PPD)). Cultured spleen cells were assayed for suppressor activity in vitro by coculture with BP-specific and PPD-specific helper T cell lines derived from SJL/J mice. Immunized donor spleen cells cultured with cyclosporin A (CsA) and BP were potent inhibitors of T cell line proliferation, and suppressor activity was increased 17-fold compared with control splenocytes. The number of suppressor cells required to suppress PPD-specific line proliferation by 50% (I50) was significantly higher than the number required to suppress BP-specific line proliferation, suggesting an antigen-specific component to the suppression. The major effector cell required for suppression was a large granular Mac-1+ cell with the functional characteristics of a macrophage. Suppressor activity persisted after depletion of Thy 1.2+ cells, but suppression was no longer antigen-specific, suggesting that culture of spleen cells with CsA and BP may generate suppressor macrophages which are antigen-nonspecific and Thy 1.2+ suppressor cells which are antigen-specific. These suppressor cells may be important in the regulation of CR-EAE and the techniques described for their generation may prove useful for treatment and prevention of disease. 相似文献

Antigen-specific, IgE isotype-selective suppression is induced following treatment of mice with a high-molecular-weight glutaraldehyde-polymerized ovalbumin preparation (OA-POL). The results show that the suppression is mediated by Lyt 1+,2,3- cells residing in the spleen. Adoptive transfer experiments indicate that Lyt 2,3+ or Lyt 1,2,3+ cells are not required for the establishment of suppression by these Lyt 1+,2,3- suppressor T cells (Ts). Treatment of OA-POL-induced Ts cells with anti-I-Jk serum and complement does not affect their ability to suppress. In marked contrast, spleen cells from animals treated with a single course of OA-POL almost 300 days previously, were shown to contain boosterable memory suppressor T cells (Tsm) which display the Lyt 1-,2,3+ phenotype. The activity of both Ts and Tsm cells appears to result from stimulation by determinants common to native OA and OA-POL rather than by idiotypic determinants expressed on anti-OA antibodies. 相似文献
