We have introduced a mouse Thy-1.1 gene into the germline of Thy-1.2 mice. The introduced gene was shown to be expressed at very high levels in thymocytes when compared with the endogenous gene. Transgenic thymocytes were shown to evoke a higher than normal primary anti-Thy-1.1 antibody response in plaque-forming cell (PFC) assays. This result suggests that a direct quantitative interaction of the Thy-1 antigen activates the B cell response. 相似文献

Fusion of cells of the mouse myeloma line, P3/X63-Ag8 with spleen cells from AKR/J mice immunized against C3H thymocytes or from (BALB/c x BALB.K)F1 mice immunized against AKR/J thymocytes gave rise to hybrid cell lines that continuously secrete antibodies specific for the Thy-1.2 and Thy-1.1 antigens, respectively. Monoclonal antibodies from four such cell lines were analyzed in detail. All were 19S IgM, and, in the presence of complement (C), had high lytic titers on T cells of the appropriate antigenicity. Their specificity was shown by lysis of thymocytes from Thy-1 congenic mouse strains, A/J(Thy-1.2) and A. Thy 1.1. Furthermore, they lyse only 60 to 70% of lymph node cells, suggesting cytotoxicity for mature T cells and not B cells. Treatment of peripheral lymphocyte populations with monoclonal antibody plus C eliminated effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes, their precursors, and the mitogenic response to Con A, but did not affect the response to LPS. Purified, fluorescein-labeled monoclonal anti-Thy-1 antibody could be used to distinguish T and B cells. Purified antibody coupled to Sepharose 6MB was used to separate viable T and B cells. Two independently isolated anti-Thy-1.2 hybridomas are indistinguishable and bind the same determinant whereas a third is unique and may bind a separate site. 相似文献

AKR/Cum mice (Thy-1b = thetaC3H) immunized with nucleated cells from WF rat thymus, Peyer's patches, peritoneal exudate, mesenteric lymph nodes, blood, bone marrow, or spleen produced antibodies cytotoxic for ADR/J (Thy-1a = thetaAKR) but not for AKR/Cum thymocytes. The specificity of these antibodies for the Thy-1.1 (theta-AKR) antigen was confirmed by tests using thymocytes from backcross mice segregating at the Thy-1 locus. This result suggested that the rat lymphocyte antgen cross-reactive with Thy-1.1 was expressed by at least some members of each of the rat lymphoid cell populations tested. AKR/Cum mice immunized with killed rat cells also produced anti-Thy-1.1 antibodies; thus indicating that further differentiation of the injected cells was not a prerequisite for the anti-Thy-1.1 response. Unexpectedly, about 9% of unimmunized adult AKR/Cum males were found to be producing antibodies against Thy-1.1. To our knowledge, natural antibodies of this specificity have not been previously reported. Finally, it was found that peritoneal exudate cells taken from WF rats previously immunized with EL-4 mouse leukemia cells were neither killed nor functionally inactivated by treatment with anti-Thy-1.1 antibodies and complement. 相似文献

In an attempt to further evaluate the role of Thy-1 in the antigen-independent triggering of mouse T cells, we have examined the activating properties of two Thy-1.1-specific mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb). These reagents were established from an (A.TH X A.TL)F1 hybrid mouse (Thy-1b) immunized with IL-2 producing (BALB/c (Thy-1b) X BW5147 (Thy-1a)) T hybridoma cells. Although both mAb recognized the same Thy-1.1 determinant, one mAb of the gamma 3,kappa class (H171-146) was found to induce several T hybridoma cells to produce IL-2, and AKR thymocytes or cloned helper T cells to proliferate, whereas another mAb of the gamma 1,kappa class (H171-112) failed to do so even in the presence of phorbol myristic acetate (PMA). Increased IL-2 responses of T hybridoma cells were observed when the cell bound Thy-1.1-specific mAb were crosslinked by goat anti-mouse Ig (GaMIg) antibodies. Both a T-cell activating rat anti-Thy-1.2 mAb and the anti-Thy-1.1 mAb H171-146, although directed at distinct cell surface molecules, synergistically stimulated IL-2 production by T hybridoma cells. In addition, the mouse mAb H171-146 was found to stimulate LOU/M rat thymocytes to proliferate in the presence of exogenous IL-2. These data demonstrate that T cells can use Thy-1 as a signal-transducing molecule in both mouse and rat species, and support the notion that the activating properties of Thy-1.1-specific mAb are influenced by their heavy chain isotypes. 相似文献

To determine the role of Thy-1 antigen in murine hematopoietic differentiation, bone marrow was treated with anti-Thy-1.2 antibody and complement or complement alone. Growth of immature hematopoietic progenitors, erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E), and granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM) was greatly reduced following antibody and complement treatment and was not restored by mitogen-stimulated spleen cell supernatants. In contrast, more mature erythroid and myeloid progenitors, the erythroid colony-forming unit (CFU-E) and the macrophage progenitor stimulated by L-cell-conditioned media (LCM), were spared by anti-Thy-1.2 antibody and complement treatment. Here, to separate the effects of anti-Thy-1.2 antibody treatment on accessory cells from those on progenitors, splenic T cells and thymocytes were added to treated marrow at ratios of up to 200%. Growth of BFU-E and CFU-GM was not restored. To more precisely replace required accessory cells, male complement-treated marrow was cocultured with female anti-Thy-1.2 antibody and complement-treated marrow. Even marrow cells failed to restore female BFU-E and CFU-GM growth. Fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) and immune sheep red cell rosetting with anti-Thy-1.2-labeled marrow were then performed to determine if immature hematopoietic progenitors bear Thy-1.2. These techniques revealed enrichment of BFU-E and CFU-GM in the Thy-1.2-positive fraction, demonstrating the presence of Thy-1.2 on early murine hematopoietic progenitors. CFU-E and CFU-M were present in the Thy-1.2-negative fraction following FACS separation. These data demonstrate that Thy-1.2 is a differentiation antigen, present on at least some murine BFU-E and CFU-GM and lost as they mature to CFU-E and CFU-M. 相似文献

The potential role of Thy-1 in CD3/TCR complex-mediated signal delivery to murine thymocytes was studied. Ag-mimicking cross-linked anti-CD3 mAb stimulated suspension of thymocytes from adult (6 to 8 wk old) mice for a brisk free cytoplasmic calcium ion ([Ca2+]i) rise, low level of inositol phosphate production, and marginal increase in tyrosine-specific phosphorylation of 110/120-kDa and 40-kDa cellular proteins. Weak but sustained [Ca2+]i rise, low inositol phosphate production, and weak protein tyrosine phosphorylation were also induced by the cross-linked anti-Thy-1 mAb that mimicked the putative natural ligand. The signal delivered via either of these two pathways was however insufficient for definitively promoting cell death and DNA fragmentation in the adult thymocytes. Here we demonstrated that anti-Thy-1 mAb synergized with anti-CD3 mAb for inducing a long-lasting prominent [Ca2+]i rise, definite inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakiphosphate production, and extensive tyrosine-specific phosphorylation of 110/120-, 92-, 75-, and 40-kDa proteins, which resulted in marked promotion of cell death and DNA fragmentation in the adult thymocytes. This unique anti-Thy-1 antibody activity was confirmed to be directed to glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored Thy-1, and was distinguished from the known anti-L3T4 activity that augmented the CD3-mediated signal transduction in a different manner. The synergistic actions of anti-CD3 and anti-Thy-1 mAb obligatorily required the cross-linking of the two mAb together. The anti-CD3 and anti-Thy-1 mAb cross-linked together acted on immature thymocytes from newborn (less than 24 h after birth) mice for rather more extensive promotion of protein tyrosine phosphorylation and cell death. In addition, they affected peripheral T lymphocytes for accelerating protein tyrosine phosphorylation but not cell death. These results suggest a novel function of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored Thy-1 as a possible unique intrathymic intensifier of the CD3/TCR complex-delivered signal for negative thymocyte selection. 相似文献

A number of analytical techniques for distinguishing and separating the "high theta" "low theta" subpopulations of mouse thymocytes have been compared. A differential cytotoxic assay was compared to a quantitative immunofluorescent assay on individual cells using flow cytofluorometry and cell sorting. Conventional anti-Thy-1 antisera were compared with a monoclonal IgM anti-Thy-1. The monoclonal reagent greatly improved both types of assay, eliminated a number of artifacts and allowed either procedure to be used to give a clear distinction, based on Thy-1 level, between the two subpopulations. The distribution of Thy-1 on thymocytes is bimodal, rather than continuous. These separate "high theta" and "low theta" categories each includes a population a population of dividing cells. 相似文献

In this study, we have observed that cells increase their intracellular cAMP to relatively high levels during receptor capping induced by either ligand-dependent (anti-Thy-1 antibody) or ligand-independent (colchicine) treatment. In addition, we have found that under capping conditions, membrane-bound adenylate cyclase is induced to co-cap with independent membrane molecules such as Thy-1 antigens. These findings suggest that the binding of anti-Thy-1 to its receptors or treatment with colchicine induces the molecular reorganization of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase which may be responsible for activating the contractile machinery required for the collection of surface receptors into a cap structure. 相似文献

Antigens immobilized on solid supports may be used to detect or purify their corresponding antibodies (Ab) from serum. Direct immobilization of antigens on support surfaces (through short spacer arms) may promote interesting stabilizing effects on the immobilized antigen. However, the proximity of the support may prevent the interaction of some fractions of polyclonal Ab with some regions of the antigen (those placed in close contact with the support surface). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized on agarose by different protocols of multipoint covalent immobilization involving different regions of the antigen surface. Glyoxyl-agarose, BrCN-agarose, and glutaraldehyde-agarose were used as activated supports. Each HRP-immobilized preparation was much more stable than the soluble enzyme, but it was only able to adsorb up to 60-70% of a mixture of polyclonal anti-HRP antibodies. On the other hand, HRP was also immobilized on agarose through a very long, flexible, and hydrophilic spacer arm (dextran). This immobilized HRP was hardly stabilized, but it was able to adsorb 100% of the polyclonal anti-HRP. The absence of steric hindrances seems to play a critical role favoring the complete recognition of all classes of polyclonal Ab. Another solution to achieve a complete adsorption of polyclonal Ab on immobilized-stabilized antigens has been also reached by using a mixture of the differently immobilized and stabilized HRP-agarose preparations. In this case, an improved storage and operational stabilities of the immobilized antigens can be combined with the complete adsorption of any class of antibody. 相似文献

Cellular mechanism of primary anti-Thy-1 antibody responses in vitro induced by uniquely immunogenic thymocyte antigens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Thy-1 antigens are the only cell membrane antigens known to be able to induce primary antibody responses in vitro. We have shown that antigens from the thymocytes of mice and rats were highly immunogenic in cultures of murine spleen cells for the induction of Thy-1.1-specific plaque-forming cell responses, whereas antigens from other tissues, including brains and bone marrow, were poorly immunogenic, if at all. The thymocyte-specific Thy-1 immunogenicity was carried by disrupted cell membranes, and the specific activity for inducing responses was closely linked to Thy-1. We then tried to determine the mechanism of anti-Thy-1 antibody responses in vitro that were induced by the uniquely immunogenic thymocyte antigens. The thymocyte Thy-1 antigens behaved as T cell-independent class 2 (TI-2) antigens: they induced responses in athymic nude mice but not in CBA/N mice with a B cell defect. The apparent TI-2 responses to thymocyte Thy-1 did, however, require Thy-1+ cells in the responder, similar to anti-DNP-Ficoll responses. The full development of the anti-Thy-1 responses required the participation of splenic adherent cells (SAC). Nevertheless, the mechanism of the SAC dependency of anti-Thy-1 responses did not involve antigen presentation to lymphocytes by antigen-pulsed SAC, which contrasted with the finding that the presentation of antigen by live SAC to lymphocytes was indispensable for responses to DNP-Ficoll. The poor Thy-1 responsiveness of SAC-depleted spleen cells was fully restored by the addition of soluble factors (IL 1-like molecules) released from SAC into the culture, which did not replace the SAC-requirement of responses to DNP-Ficoll. It was concluded from these results that Thy-1 or Thy-1-linked structures on thymocyte membranes have an intrinsic activity to directly signal either TI-2 B cells or immature T cells, or both, for activation in the presence of soluble factors released from adherent accessory cells. This conclusion is discussed in relation to a hypothetical view that the thymocyte Thy-1 would physiologically mediate cell-to-cell interactions among special subsets of lymphocytes under thymic influence. 相似文献

Surface immunoglobulin (Ig)-mediated endocytosis has been investigated in rat B lymphocytes and plasma cells, using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled sheep anti-rat Ig Fab' fragment of antibody and HRP as monomeric ligands, respectively. Quantitative estimates of HRP activity associated either with plasma membrane or with endomembrane compartments were made in several experimental conditions. Binding of HRP-conjugate on B lymphocytes was followed by its endocytosis in combination with surface Ig, as shown by the progressive disappearance of plasma membrane-associated HRP activity. Between 1 and 6 h at 37 degrees C in presence of conjugate the total amount of cell-associated activity was constant. These results indicate that during this time no reappearance of surface Ig occurred by neosynthesis, by the expression of an intracellular pool or by the recycling in a free form of the previously internalized molecules. On the contrary, at saturating doses, internalization of HRP by anti-HRP plasma cells increased linearly with time at 37 degrees C in presence of antigen, when, during the same time, the plasma membrane HRP-binding capacity remained constant. Cycloheximide did not affect continuous HRP uptake. The existence of a large intracellular pool of receptors has been ruled out by experiments of removal of binding sites with pronase. In addition, monensin caused a progressive decrease in the number of surface receptors on plasma cells but not on B lymphocytes. Our data then indicate that, unlike B lymphocytes, plasma cells were able to recycle their surface Ig. 相似文献

Within the first minute after incubation with the mouse anti-human T cell orthoclone monoclonal antibodies OKT3, OKT4, and OKT8, and in the absence of complement, human monocytes generate a burst of highly reactive oxygen metabolites as detected by a luminol-dependent photometric chemiluminescence (CL) assay. The kinetics of the CL responses to these antibodies are identical to that induced by OKM1, the monoclonal antibody to human monocytes and granulocytes. With regard to CL response intensities, OKM1 induces the maximal response and those of OKT3, OKT4, and OKT8 closely reflect the proportion of T cell subsets recognized by these antibodies in peripheral blood. This reaction is also observed when monoclonal antibodies against mouse Lyt surface determinants (Lyt-1 and Lyt-2) and Thy-1 antigen are tested against murine spleen cells. This murine model was further used to investigate the specificity and the mechanism of this reaction. It was demonstrated that the CL response is Lyt antigen specific, occurs upon addition of monoclonal IgG but not IgM antibodies, requires the concomitant presence of CL-producing cells (CLPC) (promonocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and/or granulocytes) and of fully differentiated T cells, and lastly, is mediated via a T cell opsonization process. Selective blockade of bone marrow cell Fc receptors (FcR II) with monoclonal anti-mouse FcR II antibody inhibits the CL response to IgG2b anti-T cell antibody-coated thymocytes and thus strongly suggests that the stimulation of CLPC oxidative metabolism in this model results from the binding of opsonized T cells to plasma membrane Fc receptors. These observations lend additional support to increasing evidence that the initiation of effector functions by monoclonal anti-T cell antibodies may be strictly dependent upon the presence of monocytes and/or macrophages. 相似文献

THE INTERACTION OF PARTICULATE HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE (HRP)-ANTI HRP IMMUNE COMPLEXES WITH MOUSE PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES IN VITRO 总被引:19,自引:5,他引:14

The uptake, distribution, and fate of particulate horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-anti HRP aggregates has been studied in homogeneous monolayers of mouse macrophages in vitro. Macrophages rapidly interiorize the immune complexes after binding to the cell surface. The rate of interiorization is maximal for complexes formed in a broad zone of 4-fold antibody excess to equivalence and corresponds to a rate of 10% of the administered load/106 cells per hour. This rate is 4000-fold greater than the uptake of soluble HRP. The binding and endocytosis of HRP-anti HRP by macrophages is mediated by the trypsin insensitive Fc receptor. Cytochemically, intracellular HRP is localized within membrane bound vacuoles. After uptake of HRP, the enzymatic activity is degraded exponentially with a half-life of 14–18 hr until enzyme is no longer detectable. This half-life is twice as long as that previously observed for soluble uncomplexed HRP and is related to the combination of HRP with anti-HRP rather than the absolute amounts of enzyme or antibody ingested. The half-life of HRP-125I was 30 hr. Exocytosis of cell associated enzyme or TCA precipitable counts was not detected, nor were persistent surface complexes demonstrable. The extensive capacity of macrophages to interiorize and destroy large amounts of antigen after the formation of antibody illustrates a role of this cell in the efferent limb of the immune response. 相似文献

The histology of the specific and non-specific antibody response in mouse and rat bone marrow was studied after subcutaneous priming and intravenous boosting with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Cells producing specific antibody against HRP were found only occasionally in the bone marrow after subcutaneous priming. After the intravenous boost injection their number gradually increased. These anti-HRP forming cells were found as single cells, randomly dispersed throughout the bone marrow. Such a random distribution was also found for cytoplasmic (non-specific) immunoglobulin containing cells. At no time point after immunization could lymphoid aggregates or trapping of immune complexes be observed in the bone marrow of either species. On the basis of these observations it is concluded that the bone marrow forms a suitable microenvironment for immigrating antibody-forming cells but does not contribute actively to the induction of the immune response. 相似文献

Antiserum raised against horseradish peroxidase (HRP) recognizes a neural specific carbohydrate antigen in Drosophila and other insects. The epitopic activity of the carbohydrate moiety of HRP recognized by anti-HRP antiserum was measured by a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in which HRP glycopeptides conjugated with bovine serum albumin were coated onto the wells and then reacted with goat anti-HRP antiserum. HRP sugar moieties released by almond glycopeptidase A digestion of HRP pepsin digests were subjected to pyridylamination. Pyridylamino oligosaccharides were separated into seven fractions by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The major fraction, which comprised about 80% of the total sugars, reacted strongly with anti-HRP antiserum. The carbohydrate structure of this fraction was determined by sugar composition analysis and 600-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy as follows: Man alpha 1----6(Man alpha 1----3)(Xyl beta 1----2)Man beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----4(Fuc alpha 1----3)GlcNAc. Analyses of reactivity with anti-HRP antiserum of various oligosaccharide derivatives obtained from the major fraction by exoglycosidase digestion and partial acid hydrolysis indicated that alpha 1----6-linked mannose and alpha 1----3-linked fucose are predominantly involved in the epitopic structure. 相似文献

Induction of T cell activation by monoclonal anti-Thy-1 antibodies 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

We have analyzed the requirements for T cell activation by monoclonal anti-Thy-1 antibodies (MAb). A large panel of unselected anti-Thy-1 MAb was capable of inducing a strong proliferative response in resting peripheral T cells and a rise in cytoplasmic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) in both peripheral T cells and a T cell hybridoma. Both of these responses required the interaction of a MAb bound to Thy-1 with a second layer of anti-Ig antibody. Induction of T cell proliferation also required an additional signal, which could be provided by PMA. T cell activation in this system was specific for the Thy-1 molecule, independent of the epitope on Thy-1 recognized by a given MAb, with the anti-Ig reagent was also independent of the type of anti-Ig used, as both polyvalent rabbit anti-rat Ig sera and a mouse MAb to rat Ig functioned as effective cross-linkers. All signals provided by the interaction of anti-Thy-1 MAb with anti-Ig preparations could also be reproduced by the simultaneous binding of two MAb recognizing independent epitopes on Thy-1. Although the physiological role of Thy-1 remains unknown, the model system described here should prove to be very useful in further analysis of the steps involved in the polyclonal activation of murine T cells. 相似文献

The interaction between two different monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) and their corresponding bispecific antibodies (Babs) with immobilized antigens was investigated using an optical biosensor (IAsys). The analyzed panel of affinity-purified antibodies included two parental Mabs (one of which was specific to human IgG (hIgG), and another one to horseradish peroxidase (HRP)), as well as Babs derived thereof (anti-hIgG/HRP). Babs resulting from the fusion of parental hybridomas bear two antigen-binding sites toward two different antigens and thus may interact with immobilized antigen through only one antigen-binding site (monovalently). Using an IAsys biosensor this study shows that the bivalent binding of Mabs predominates over the monovalent binding with immobilized HRP, whereas anti-hIgG parental Mabs were bound monovalently to the immobilized hIgG. The observed equilibrium association constant (K
ass) values obtained in our last work [1] by solid-phase radioimmunoassay are consistent with those constants obtained by IAsys. The K
ass of anti-HRP Mabs was about 50 times higher than that of anti-HRP shoulder of Babs. The dissociation rate constant (k
diss) for anti-HRP shoulder of Babs was 21 times higher than k
diss for anti-HRP Mabs. The comparison of the kinetic parameters for bivalent anti-HRP Mabs and Babs derived from anti-Mb/HRP and anti-hIgG/HRP, allowed to calculate that 95% of bound anti-HRP Mabs are bivalently linked with immobilized HRP, whereas only 5% of bound anti-HRP Mabs are monovalently linked. In general, the data obtained indicate that Babs bearing an enzyme-binding site may not be efficiently used instead of traditional antibody–enzyme conjugates in the case of binding of bivalent Mabs. 相似文献

Mouse thymocytes are known to undergo apoptosis by ligating some unique anti-Thy-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), G7 and KT16. However, the precise mechanisms of Thy-1-mediated apoptosis are as yet unclear. We investigated Thy-1-mediated apoptosis using our previously generated anti-Thy-1 mAb, MCS-34, which was similar to G7 because both antibodies recognized both Thy-1.1 and Thy-1.2 and bound Thy-1A epitope. Unlike G7, MCS-34 alone could not induce apoptosis in thymocytes; however, it could induce apoptosis when it was cross-linked with second antibodies. Thus, MCS-34 could not aggregate by itself, but G7 could. In the course of investigating the apoptosis-related molecules that were involved in the thymocyte apoptosis induced by cross-linking of MCS-34 or by G7 ligation, we found that CPP32-like proteases were activated during the apoptosis. Furthermore, the expression of bcl-2 and bcl-XLproteins was decreased in these apoptosis processes. Whereas the ligation of MCS-34 alone could not generate apoptosis signals that led to the activation of CPP32-like proteases and the decrease in bcl-2 and bcl-XLexpression, the aggregation of Thy-1 glycoprotein might be crucial to signal thymocyte apoptosis. These results indicate that MCS-34 is a useful anti-Thy-1 mAb for analyzing the Thy-1-mediated signals since MCS-34 can control the level of apoptosis by using second antibodies. 相似文献
