The role of antibody in immune recovery from infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) strain WE was evaluated in B-cell-depleted mice. Mice were treated from birth with either affinity-purified rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin M (IgM), normal rabbit immunoglobulin, or, alternatively, an affinity-purified monoclonal rat anti-mouse IgM antibody (LO-MM-9); untreated mice served as controls. B-cell depletion was considered complete in specifically treated mice according to the following criteria: absence of a significant response to the B-cell mitogen lipopolysaccharide, absence of B cells expressing immunoglobulin on their surfaces, absence of detectable IgM or IgG in serum, and presence in the serum of free anti-IgM antibodies. In organs of mu-suppressed BALB/c mice, LCMV-WE replicated, dependent upon organ, at the same rate or more rapidly and, in general, to higher titers than in normal rabbit immunoglobulin-treated mice; untreated mice eliminated the virus most rapidly and showed lower virus titers. In addition, LCMV-primed control mice cleared a second LCMV challenge very rapidly and contained no virus by day 3, whereas mu-suppressed mice had virus in their blood and organs (except the spleen) up to days 3 to 6. The observed effects of anti-mu treatment may reflect the action of neutralizing antibodies (which so far have been difficult to demonstrate in vivo) or other antibody-dependent antiviral mechanisms which, together with T cells, efficiently control LCMV clearance. 相似文献

The recovery of the B-cell population was studied in irradiated and fetal liver-reconstituted mice. Since in irradiated and reconstituted mice the B-cell population in the spleen recovers much more rapidly than in the other lymphoid organs, we assessed the role of the spleen in the recovery of the B-cell compartment in the other organs. It was found that the absence of the spleen did not delay or diminish the recovery of the immunoglobulin (Ig)-bearing (B)-cell population in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, Peyer's patches, and peripheral blood. Throughout the recovery period the number of B lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs of splenectomized mice was even greater than in the same organs of sham-operated mice. B cells obtained from the bone marrow of splenectomized, irradiated, and reconstituted mice appeared to be fully immunocompetent, as shown by their ability to cooperate with thymocytes in an adoptive plaque-forming cell response to sheep red blood cells. The compensatory effect of the increased numbers of B cells in the bone marrow and peripheral lymphoid organs of splenectomized mice was reflected in the level of the serum immunoglobulins. Apart from a lower IgM concentration in the serum of splenectomized mice, no significant differences were found in IgG1, IgG2b, and IgA levels between splenectomized and sham-splenectomized mice. It is concluded that the spleen is not essential for both normal B-lymphocyte differentiation and maturation after irradiation and reconstitution. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) are widely used animal models in biomedical research. However, the phenotypic characteristics of cynomolgus monkey (CM) B cells in peripheral blood (PB) and lymphoid organs are poorly understood. METHODS: FACS analyses of PB-, spleen-, lymph node (LN)-, and bone marrow (BM)-derived B cells were performed. RESULTS: CM peripheral blood B cells have a smaller fraction of CD27(-) (naive) cells ( approximately 40%), as compared to human blood samples ( approximately 70%). Similar to humans, an early activation marker, CD23, is expressed more on CD27(-) CM naive B cells, as compared to CD27(+) B cells. The mean fraction of B cells exhibiting a memory phenotype is similar to that seen in human blood. Unlike humans, CM blood contains a subset of CD20(++)CD80(+)CD21(-)IgM(+/-)CD27(+)CD19(+)FSC(++)BAFF-R(low) B cells that are likely of germinal center origin. Thus, CM blood contains (i) a higher percentage of B cells that express the co-stimulatory molecule CD80, and (ii) a lower fraction of B cells that are CD21(+), as compared to human blood. Due to the relative paucity of information on B-cell subsets in organs of healthy humans, a direct comparison between human and CM lymphoid organ data is limited. The fraction of CD27(+) and CD23(+) B cells appears to be similar, while the fraction of CD80(+) B cells appears to be higher than that seen in human lymphoid organs. CM spleens and to some extent lymph nodes have a distinct subset of CD21(++) cells that are also CD80(+/-)CD23(low)IgM(++)CD27(+/-)FSC(++). This subset is phenotypically similar to the marginal zone B cells present in human spleen and LN samples. We also provide detailed analyses on the fraction of lymphoid organ B cells that express CD21, CD23, CD32, and/or CD80 B-cell markers. CONCLUSIONS: In general, cynomolgus monkey B-cell subsets are similar to those seen in humans, as well as to those seen in other nonhuman primates. However, there are some clear differences between human and cynomolgus monkey B-cell subsets. These findings have direct implications for a variety of in vivo studies in cynomolgus monkeys, ranging from basic research on primate B-cell differentiation to models of infectious diseases and trials of new B-cell targeting therapeutic agents. 相似文献

B cell hybridomas with Ia and IgM molecules on the cell membrane were treated with either purified goat anti-mouse mu antibody (anti-mu) or monoclonal rat anti-mouse IgM antibody (anti-IgM). The spontaneous uptake of [3H] thymidine by these cells was markedly inhibited by both reagents. These hybrid cells could be induced to differentiate into IgM-secreting cells in the presence of these reagents at high frequency. Furthermore, the induction of IgM secretion by B cell hybridomas treated with these antibodies was completely T cell independent, and cell division was not required for the differentiative response to anti-mu. In addition, F(ab')2 fragments of anti-mu showed more effects on proliferation and differentiation of these cells than intact anti-mu. Interestingly, TH2.54, a subline of B cell hybridomas, could generate IgG2a production as well as IgM when incubated with anti-mu. These findings suggest very strongly that the interaction of either goat anti-mu or monoclonal rat anti-IgM with surface IgM molecules on the cell membrane of the B cell hybridomas inhibits in vitro spontaneous proliferation, and results in providing signals for differentiation into Ig-secreting cells without T cell factors. 相似文献

Purified H.8 (Lip) antigen was coupled to tresyl-activated Sepharose 4B and used in affinity columns to purify anti-Lip antibodies from convalescent patient sera and from immune rabbit sera. Affinity-purified anti-Lip antibodies isolated from two convalescent patient sera contained 1000 and 1280 ELISA units of antibody and included antibodies of IgG, IgA, and IgM isotypes. An anti-Lip mouse monoclonal ascites (2-1-CA2) had 28,400 ELISA units of antibody. Bactericidal assays were performed using three different case strains of Neisseria meningitidis group B, namely 44/76, 8532, and 8047. Neither preparation of purified human anti-Lip antibodies had detectable bactericidal activity against strains 44/76 and 8532, but one of the two had a titer of 1:4 against strain 8047. Anti-Lip antibodies that were purified from immune rabbit serum and contained 1600 ELISA units of anti-Lip antibodies also failed to show detectable bactericidal activity. The rabbits were immunized with purified Lip antigen and showed specific antibody levels of 2000-2200 units by ELISA, but even the unfractionated sera had little or no bactericidal activity against the test strains. The high titer mouse monoclonal ascites had no bactericidal activity against the test strains. The poor bactericidal activity associated with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to the Lip antigen suggest that in spite of other attractive properties it may not be useful as a meningococcal vaccine. 相似文献

Ontogeny of IgM-producing cells in the lymphoid organs of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson: an immuno- and enzyme-histochemical study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The ontogenetic development of IgM-containing cells is described as demonstrated by immunoperoxidase staining with a mouse anti-trout IgM monoclonal antibody and the differentiation of enzyme-histochemical markers in the non-lymphoid cells forming the stroma of the thymus, spleen and kidney of the rainbow trout. The first lymphoid cells staining with the monoclonal antibody occurred at day 4-5 after hatching in the renal lympho-haemopoietic tissue. By 1 month after hatching IgM-positive cells also appeared in the spleen and thymus. Enzyme-histochemical demonstration of the alkaline and acid phosphatase and non-specific σ-naphthyl acetate esterase enzymatic activities in the non-lymphoid cells indicated that a certain degree of maturation of the cellular stroma of the developing lymphoid organs of trout was reached before or at the time when IgM-expressing cells could be observed. The relationships of the stromal components of the various lymphoid organs to the development of IgM-positive cells, and the possible role of the renal lympho-haemopoietic tissue as a primary lymphoid organ for B-cell differentiation in the trout are discussed. 相似文献

To investigate whether the antibody response and T-B-cell collaboration in vitro can be obtained in the absence of mitogens, a method of obtaining an in vitro primary anti-sheep red blood cell antibody response by rabbit spleen and lymph node cells was developed. We used Marbrook culture vessels and a specially prepared medium containing 10% autologous serum and maintained at pH 7.4–7.6. The system was shown to be devoid of any polyclonal mitogens as assessed by [3H]thymidine incorporation and by direct examination for blast cells in stained smears. The primary response increased continuously over the 5-day cultivation period and only IgM but not IgG plaque-forming cells (PFC) were detected. In over 20 experiments, the response ranged from 357 ± 17 to 4425 ± 110 PFC/107 cultured cells with a median stimulation index of 52. The spleen cells required less antigen than the lymph node cells and 2-mercaptoethanol inhibited the response of the spleen cells but not that of the lymph node cells. Lymphocytes were separated into highly pure T- and B-cell populations by negative selection using antibody-coated human erythrocytes to rosette either T or B cells and Ficoll-Hypaque centrifugation to remove rosetted cells. Upon cultivation, B cells alone gave a low IgM response, whereas B cells reconstituted with T cells gave a response similar to that obtained with unseparated lymphoid cells. We concluded that: (a) optimal conditions for obtaining primary in vitro antibody responses using rabbit spleen and lymph node cells were established, (b) T-B-cell collaboration was demonstrated in the rabbit primary antibody response to sheep erythrocytes, and (c) the primary antibody response in vitro and T-B-cell collaboration may occur in the absence of detectable polyclonal mitogens. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical detection of Ig-positive cells in blood, lymphoid organs and the gut associated lymphoid tissue of the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The present study was designed to search for the sites of the B-cell lineage in the different lymphoid organs of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) by immunoperoxidase staining with a rabbit polyclonal antiserum against deglycosylated turbot IgM (TUDG-6). A turbot immunoglobulin (Ig) fraction, isolated by protein A, was checked for purity by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. The turbot IgM was deglycosylated and used to raise an antiserum. The antiserum titre was evaluated in ELISA. It was then used to analyse turbot peripheral blood leucocytes for membrane and cytoplasmic Ig and for immunohistochemistry with turbot lymphoid tissues. Very low numbers of Ig+ cells were found in thymus sections. In sections of spleen, Ig+ cells were observed in white pulp, around ellipsoids but were mostly concentrated and associated with melanomacrophage centers (MMCs). The lymphoid Ig+ cells in the kidney tended to be dispersed among haematopoietic and granulopoietic cell populations and were in intimate association with the MMCs and blood vessels. This association between MMCs and Ig+ cells in the spleen and the kidney, is discussed with respect to the role played by these organs in the immune system of fish. Last, the lymphoid population in the gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of turbot was characterised with respect to staining for Ig. Immunoreactive cells were rarely detected in the epithelial layer although many lymphocytes were present, but they were frequently observed in the lamina propria, presumably as part of the GALT and involved in mucosal immune responses. 相似文献

Humoral factors in serum of young NZB mice enhance maturation of B-lymphocyte precursors in vitro. A blot ELISA assay identified autoantibodies against the serum factors. NZB-SFs (designated NZB-SF alpha, pI 3.5-4.0, and NZB-SF beta, pI 7.8) were purified by sequential steps. Both had a molecular weight (MW) of approximately 23,000 in SDS-PAGE. NZB mice develop autoantibodies against NZB-SFs by 2 months of age; titers increased progressively with age. Non-autoimmune-prone mice did not produce autoantibodies against NZB-SFs. We then developed two hybridoma clones, IIC1C1 and IIC1M4, which produce monoclonal autoantibodies against NZB-SF alpha and NZB-SF beta, respectively. Both IgM autoantibodies could be affinity purified with a column of CNBr-Sepharose 4B gel conjugated with anti-mouse IgM antibody. Neither IIC1C1 nor IIC1M4 abolished bioactivity of recombinant mouse IL-1 alpha, human IL-1, mouse, rat, or human IL-2, mouse IL-3, or colony-stimulating factor. Neither antibody reacted to recombinant mouse IL-1 alpha, IL-4, TNF alpha, or IFN gamma in blot ELISA assays. Monoclonal autoantibodies IIC1C1 and IIC1M4 were used to purify NZB-SFs. SDS-PAGE of the affinity-purified NZB-SFs revealed bands of 23 and 60 kDa, and proteins extracted from the bands were reactive to our monoclonal autoantibodies. 相似文献

A new type of differentiation antigens on human T cells was demonstrated by using a heterologous anti-human T cell serum (ATS). This type of antigen, referred to as human peripheral T cell antigen (HPTA), was found on peripheral T cells and medullary thymocytes, but not on cortical thymocytes and B cells. The percentage of ATS-reactive lymphocytes in human peripheral lymphoid organs was correlated with that of cells rosetting with sheep erythrocytes, but contrasted with the number of B cells defined by the presence of a complement (C) receptor or by rabbit anti-human B cell serum (ABS). ATS also reacted with T cells purified by nylon fiber column filtration but ABS did not. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells rosetted with either sheep erythrocytes or erythrocyte-antibody-complement complexes were lysed by ATS and ABS, respectively. Mitogenic responses of blood lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin-A (Con A) were abrogated by treating them with ATS and C, whereas ABS suppressed only their response to Con A. Although numerous thymus cells rosetted with SRBC, only 14% were reactive with ATS. Quantitative absorption studies demonstrated that HPTA content of the thymus cells was much lower than that of lymph node cells. Anatomical localization of ATS-reactive lymphocytes in human lymphoid organs studied by immunofluorescence indicated that they were present in the thymus-dependent paracortical areas of lymph node and in the medullary region of thymus. ABS, on the other hand, did not stain thymocytes but reacted selectively with the cells located in the lymphoid follicles of lymph node. These data, together with that from cell suspension studies, confirmed that HPTA were shared between medullary thymocytes and peripheral T cells. 相似文献

Antibodies that inhibit the biological activity of B-cell-derived enhancing factor (BEF) were produced in a rabbit immunized with BEF obtained from a non-immunoglobulin-producing B-cell line. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) fractions purified from the preimmune or the immune rabbit serum were compared by testing for their capacity to inhibit regulatory activities of BEF. It was found that the enhancing activity exerted by BEF on the in vitro antibody response to sheep red blood cells was inhibited when anti-BEF IgG was incorporated in the cultures. Moreover, anti-BEF IgG abolished the inhibitory activity exerted by BEF on the expression of Fc receptor by lymphoid cells. Comparable concentrations of preimmune IgG were ineffective in inhibiting BEF activity. The passage of supernatant fluid containing BEF activity through an anti-BEF IgG-coupled Sepharose column yielded an 84-fold purified product that exhibit BEF immunoregulatory properties. These results will accelerate further studies aimed at better characterization of the BEF molecule(s). 相似文献

The mitogenic responses of separated rabbit lymphocyte populations functionally analogous to mouse T and B cells have been tested in vitro. Purified T cells were prepared by passage over nylon wool (NW) and purified B cells prepared by treatment with antithymocyte serum and complement (ATS + C). ATS + C kills 70% of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL's) and 50% of the spleen cells while passage over NW yields 40% of the applied PBL's and 5–23% of the applied spleen cells. NW-purified T cells from the spleen or PBL's respond fully to concanavalin A (Con A) but have a reduced response to phytohemaglutinin (PHA) and little or no response to goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin (anti-Ig). PBL's that survive ATS + C (B cells) are stimulated by anti-Ig but not by Con A or PHA. B cells purified from spleen do not respond to Con A or PHA but will respond to anti-Ig under appropriate conditions. A full spleen B-cell response to anti-Ig required removal of Ig produced by the cultures that blocked anti-Ig stimulation. It is concluded that, for rabbit lymphocytes, Con A and PHA are primarily T-cell mitogens and that anti-Ig is primarily a B-cell mitogen. However, the mitogen response of unfractionated PBL or spleen cell populations indicates an overlap in reactivity. This could be due to cells sharing T and B properties, alteration of cell populations by the fractionation procedures used, or recruitment of one population in the presence of a mitogenic response of the other population. 相似文献

Recent progress in clonal cell culture techniques makes it possible to detect pluripotent hemopoietic precursors from murine marrow cells. The precursors can proliferate, differentiate and form mixed colonies containing erythroblasts, granulocytes, macrophages and often megakaryocytes in viscid culture medium. In the present investigation, the presence of cells of B-cell lineage in mixed colonies was investigated. Experiments on colonies containing cIgM, cIgG, sIgM and sIgG bearing cells using goat IgG fluorescein-conjugated anti-mouse IgM, goat F(ab')2 fraction fluorescein-conjugated anti-mouse IgG and immunobeads revealed the presence of cytoplasmic IgM bearing cells in 47% of the colonies and surface IgM bearing cells in 74-84% of the colonies. Mixed colonies, however, did not contain either cIgG bearing cells or sIgG bearing cells. The results may indicate that some CFU-MIX proliferate and differentiate along B-cell lineage to sIgM or cIgM bearing cells in vitro. 相似文献

Feeding mice sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) caused a significant decrease in splenic IgM antibody responses to SRBC given ip. Reduced IgM responses were due to a suppressor factor in the serum of fed mice rather than due to a lack of IgM antibody-forming cell precursors or to the presence of suppressor T cells. Although feeding initially primed mice to produce greater IgA and IgG anti-SRBC responses after SRBC challenge, the initial primed state was transitory. Mice fed SRBC for longer than 8 weeks had significantly reduced splenic IgG and IgA responses after SRBC challenge.Suppression of IgM responses by serum from fed mice was antigen-specific and not H-2 restricted. Serum from fed mice inhibited the induction of IgM anti-SRBC responses but did not block the expression of already established responses. The size of the suppressor factor and the ability to remove suppressor activity from serum by anti-mouse immunoglobulin suggested that suppression was mediated by antibody. However, the determinants against which the antibody was directed appeared to differ among batches of suppressor sera. Suppressor activity did not appear to be mediated by immune complexes, or soluble antigen. Oral feeding of antigen can have a marked influence on host systemic immune responses when the antigen used for feeding is subsequently administered parenterally. Thus, oral antigen administration may provide a way for specifically manipulating systemic immune responses in vivo. In addition, antigen-feeding may provide a means for producing transferable factors that suppress humoral antibody responses. 相似文献

Antibody against actin isolated from a human EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid B-cell line exerted an inhibitory effect on in vitro IgM secretion by a different lymphoblastoid B-cell line, LA350. This effect was dose dependent showing from 24-40% inhibition at a dilution of 1:100 and 68-80% inhibition at a dilution of 1:50. This effect was noted in the absence of changes in either total cell count or [3H]-thymidine incorporation and was reversed by co-incubation with purified rabbit thymus actin (100 micrograms/ml) but not bovine serum albumin at the same concentration. These data demonstrate regulation of immunoglobulin synthesis by antibodies against human lymphocyte derived actin in a lymphoblastoid B-cell line. 相似文献

Trypanosoma musculi co-express several receptors binding rodent IgM, IgE, and IgG subclasses 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The present work demonstrates the expression of receptors for the Fc portion of rodent Ig by the murine parasite Trypanosoma musculi. By using a rosette assay adapted to the parasite morphology and by flow cytometry analysis, three distinct receptors were identified. A receptor binding rabbit or rat polyclonal IgG and mouse monoclonal IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b was found on parasites purified from the blood and the peritoneal cavity of infected mice and on parasites maintained in culture conditions. This IgG receptor was degraded by pepsin. A separate receptor, binding only mouse monoclonal IgG3 was observed on cultured parasites. A receptor binding rabbit, rat, and mouse IgM was found on cultured and peritoneal parasites, but not on blood parasites. This receptor did not bind IgG or IgA but it bound mouse and rat IgE as well as IgM. It was degraded by trypsin. IgG and IgM/IgE receptors were co-expressed on single parasites. They were not of host origin but synthesized by trypanosomes as shown by reexpression in vitro after proteolytic degradation. Their expression was variable with the development of trypanosomes both in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

T560, a mouse B lymphoma that originated in gut-associated lymphoid tissue, expresses receptors that bind dimeric IgA and IgM in a mutually inhibitory manner but have little affinity for monomeric IgA. Evidence presented in this paper indicates that the receptor is poly-Ig receptor (pIgR) known in humans and domestic cattle to bind both IgA and IgM. The evidence includes the demonstration that binding of IgM is J chain dependent, and that pIg-precipitated receptor has an appropriate Mr of 116-120 kDa and can be detected on immunoblots with specific rabbit anti-mouse pIgR. Overlapping RT-PCR performed using template mRNA from T560 cells and oligonucleotide primer pairs designed from the published sequence of mouse liver pIgR indicate that T560 cells express mRNA virtually identical with that of the epithelial cell pIgR throughout its external, transmembrane, and intracytoplasmic coding regions. Studies using mutant IgAs suggest that the Calpha2 domain of dimeric IgA is not involved in high-affinity binding to the T560 pIgR. Inasmuch as this mouse B cell pIgR binds IgM better than IgA, it is similar to human pIgR and differs from rat, mouse, and rabbit epithelial cell pIgRs that bind IgA but not IgM. Possible explanations for this difference are discussed. All clones of T560 contain some cells that spontaneously secrete both IgG2a and IgA, but all of the IgA recoverable from the medium and from cell lysates is monomeric; it cannot be converted to secretory IgA by T560 cells. 相似文献

Sendai virus-infected nude mouse sera obtained on the seventh day after infection or later, in which anti-Sendai virus antibodies were undetectable by hemagglutination-inhibition and neutralization tests, were found to be reactive with the virus antigen by ELISA using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG rabbit IgG. The reactivity was blocked by rabbit anti-Sendai virus antiserum and was not observed against influenza virus which served as a control antigen. Anti-Sendai virus antibody activity of fractions from Sephadex G-200 gel filtration was detected in the IgM fraction when anti-mouse mu chain-specific antiserum was used and in both IgG and IgM fractions when heavy and light chain-specific anti-mouse IgG serum was employed in ELISA. ELISA of the fractions from protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography of Sendai virus-infected nude mouse sera showed that the eluates at pH 6.0 and pH 3.5 contained IgG1 and IgG2b anti-Sendai virus anti-bodies, respectively, and that the eluate at pH 4.5 contained both IgG2a and IgG3 antibodies. 相似文献

The inhibition of T cell proliferative responses by crosslinking CD7 and IgM-Fc receptors. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous work from our laboratory described a human T cell soluble ligand that inhibited T cell proliferative responses to mitogen and alloantigen by interacting with CD7 and/or the receptor for the IgM-Fc portion (FcR mu) on T cells. In this report, we used mouse anti-human CD7 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and purified human IgM (HIgM) to substitute for the human ligand and examined the possible involvement of these receptors in the inhibition of T cell proliferation. Preincubation of human T cells with mouse anti-CD7 mAb, HIgM, mouse anti-human IgM (MAH IgM) alone, or any of these combinations as a primary antibody did not inhibit mitogen- or alloantigen-induced T cell replication. Similar effects were seen with the pretreatment of T cells with an irrelevant negative control primary mAb or a secondary-step goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin (GAM Ig), goat anti-human IgM-Fc (GAH Fc mu), or both. In contrast, the pretreatment of T cells with anti-CD7 and/or HIgM followed by the appropriate secondary-step crosslinking antibody significantly reduced their proliferative responses to mitogen and alloantigen. Similarly, crosslinking of CD7 and FcR mu on human transformed T cell lines inhibited their spontaneous proliferation. The inhibitory effect of crosslinking CD7 and FcR mu was not due to cytotoxic effects of these antibodies and appears to be temperature sensitive. These findings suggest that crosslinking CD7 and/or FcR mu appears to have a novel role in down-regulating T cell proliferation. 相似文献
