The effect of supernatants of concanavalin A-activated spleen cells (CAS) on the expression of various antigens, especially Ia antigens, on BALB/c B lymphoid cells, was examined. This study demonstrates the following: (i) CAS enhanced the expression of Ia antigens on four out of five BALB/c lymphoid cell lines. (ii) CAS selectively modulates the expression of Ia and H-2D, but not sIgM or viral gp70 expression, on X16C 8.5 tumor cells. The enhanced levels of Ia expression on B lymphoid tumor cells were also detected by using anti-Ia monoclonal antibodies. (iii) The molecular weight of soluble factor(s) affecting Ia and H-2 was approximately 40,000 estimated by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-200 column. (iv) Type 1 interferon but not interleukin 1, interleukin 2, or T-cell-replacing factor enhanced the expressions of Ia and H-2D antigens. (v) The activity of CAS-modulating Ia and H-2 antigens was eliminated by acidic treatment. It was concluded from this study that at least one of the factor(s) in CAS, modulating the antigenic expression of B-lymphoid cells, was interferon-like in nature. From our findings, a possible immunoregulatory mechanism by interferon was suggested: T cells, after stimulation of mitogens or antigens, secrete interferons which modulate the expression of Ia and H-2 on B cells. Then B cells, whose Ia and H-2 were modulated selectively by T-soluble factors(s), might interact with T cells much more efficiently. 相似文献

Mouse B-cell line, established by culturing anti-Thy-1 and complement-treated splenic B cells with concanavalin A-stimulated conditioned medium, expressed immunoglobulins and Ia antigens on its surface. The long-term-cultured B-cell line was split in two and maintained with or without 3300 R X-irradiated T-cell-depleted syngeneic splenic adherent cells (SAC). Interestingly, the B-cell line cultured without SAC lost its Ia antigen but not its Ig expression, whereas the cell line with SAC maintained both Ia and Ig expression. The ability to express Ia antigens was restored by culturing them only in the presence of Ia-positive feeder cells. Neither recombinant interferon-gamma or lectin-stimulated conditioned medium nor cell-free culture supernatant SAC had the ability to restore Ia antigen expression on the B-cell line. Incubation of Ia-negative B-cell line with phorbol esters restored the Ia expression. It is suggested that the expression of Ia antigen on B lymphocytes was controlled differently from that on macrophage lineage. The B-cell line expressing Ia antigens acts as stimulator cells for alloantigen-activated T lymphocytes and as antigen-presenting cells on the KLH-specific Ia-restricted proliferative T-cell clone in the presence of a specific antigen. 相似文献

Murine splenic lymphoid cells are stimulated to proliferate following mild oxidation with sodium periodate. To assess the class of cells responding, we used periodate treatment alone or in association with concanavalin A, a T-cell mitogen, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), primarily a B-cell mitogen. Brief periodate treatment followed by culturing with concanavalin A gave no additive proliferative response to that seen using concanavalin A alone, while culturing periodate-treated cells with LPS gave approximately an additive response. Furthermore, periodate failed to stimulate spleen cells from neonatally thymectomized mice while LPS produced significant stimulation of proliferation, suggesting that periodate is stimulating a class of T lymphoid cells or a subpopulation of T cells. Studies were performed to determine an optimal concentration of borohydride which would suppress proliferation in lymphoid cells initially oxidized with periodate. It was observed that 2 mM borohydride would suppress proliferation of oxidized cells yet permit a normal response of these cells to another T-cell mitogen, concanavalin A. Higher concentrations of borohydride, from 3 to 5 mM, would also suppress proliferation of oxidized cells but would interfere with the ability of these cells to respond to concanavalin A, perhaps due to cell damage. Studies were performed to determine when it was possible to suppress periodate-induced mitogenesis by reducing with borohydride at various times after the initial oxidation. It was observed that 2 mM borohydride treatment could suppress stimulation through 8 hr after the original periodate oxidation and that from 12 hr through 20 hr after the initial periodate oxidation, borohydride was incapable of inhibiting proliferation. Additional studies demonstrate that optimal mitogenesis induced by periodate or concanavalin A is contingent upon a serum factor. 相似文献

Comparison of membrane IgM expression in the murine B cell lymphoma 70Z/3 treated with LPS or supernatant containing T cell factors 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The cultured murine B cell lymphoma, 70Z /3, can be induced to express membrane IgM ( mIgM ) after exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or T cell-derived factors. The kinetics and magnitude of the responses have been compared in wild type 70Z /3 cells and three variants by using flow cytometric analysis and immunoprecipitation. Wild type 70Z /3 cells respond to LPS more quickly and with twofold greater mIgM than to concanavalin A-induced spleen cell supernatant (CAS). Variants were selected for their abnormal mIgM expression in response to LPS, but individual variants also showed normal, aberrant, or no response to CAS. When cells were induced with suboptimal amounts of LPS and CAS, a synergistic effect on the magnitude of mIgM expression was seen in wild type and variant cells. This suggests that both inducing agents are utilizing some part of a common inductive mechanism. The different responses of the variant cell lines will allow further genetic dissection and comparison of the mIgM expression pathways used in response to LPS and CAS. 相似文献

Individual murine B cells express a wide range of Ia densities on the plasma membrane. Here we demonstrate that a dramatic increase in B-cell Ia could be induced by overnight exposure to an uncharacterized lymphokine (LK). Membrane I-A and I-E molecules were both increased after LK treatment, whereas membrane IgM remained unchanged. Two subpopulations of B cells were identified, based on their requirements for expressing maximal Ia; one subpopulation required only LK, the other required both LK and T cells in the overnight culture. Functional changes accompanied the Ia increase. The functional capacity to present antigens to T cells was lacking in normal resting B cells, but was acquired following LK treatment. We suggest that the LK-treated B cell has achieved a new differentiation state, one of preparation for interaction with T cells. We term this state the "poised" B cell, and propose that B cells in the poised state may significantly contribute to T-cell activation as antigen-presenting cells. Moreover, poised B cells may themselves find an advantage over normal B cells in successfully acquiring T-cell help. 相似文献

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

Monoclonal antibodies identifying a novel T-Cell antigen and Ia antigens of human lymphocytes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We describe here two new monoclonal antibodies that react with surface antigens of human lymphocytes. Antibody 7.2 identified a determinant on the framework region of the human Ia antigen. It was cytotoxic for all cultured B-cell lines, normal B cells, and monocytes. The antibody was not cytotoxic for normal T cells or for established T leukemic cell lines. In immune precipitation assays, the 7.2 antibody reacted with a bimolecular complex of two chains that resolved in polyacrylamide gels as polypeptides with molecular weights of 29000 and 34000 daltons. These precipitation results were analogous to those achieved with a rabbit antiserum prepared against human Ia antigens. Antibody 9.3 identified a determinant on the framework region of a T-cell antigen. It was cytotoxic for 50–80% of peripheral T cells and for 20–50% of thymocytes. It was not cytotoxic for cultured B-cell lines, normal B cells, or monocytes. In immune precipitation assays, the 9.3 antibody reacted with a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 44000 daltons. Due to the expression of this antigen on a limited subpopulation of human T cells, we have designated the antigen HuLyt-1. 相似文献

Three classes of signalling molecules on B-cell membranes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The question of whether surface immunoglobulin and Ia molecules have a signalling function in helper T cell-dependent activation of B cells has been evaluated. Two sources of B cells have been used, one a purified population of hapten-binding B cells, the other a B-cell lymphoma, CH12, with known antigen specificity. Evidence is presented that both immunoglobulin and Ia molecules are receptors actively involved in the initial activation of resting B cells. Nevertheless, the requirements for ligand binding to either receptor can be bypassed under appropriate conditions, and the implications of this result for the function of these molecules is discussed. With respect to B-cell Ia, the authors present data that demonstrate two distinct functions of this molecule, one as a restricting element for T-cell activation, the second as a signalling receptor for B-cell excitation. On the CH12 surface, the I-A molecule fulfills the former function, but T-cell interactions with I-A fail to result in B-cell stimulation, suggesting that B-cell Ia may limit helper T cell-B cell interactions. We suggest that the binding of antigen surface immunoglobulin and binding of helper T-cell receptors to the appropriate Ia molecule(s) results in the activation of genes that encode for a third class of membrane B-cell receptors, those that bind B-cell stimulating factors. 相似文献

In this study, we have investigated the ability of splenic B cells to act as antigen-presenting cells. Previous data had established that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated B cells were effective antigen-presenting cells; however, the relative capacity of resting B cells to carry out this function remains controversial. Splenic B cells from naive BALB/c mice were depleted of macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells, and were fractionated on the basis of cell density by using Percoll gradient centrifugation. Fractions were collected from the 50/60, 60/65, and 65/72% interfaces and from greater than 72% (pellet). Cytofluorograph analysis of the fractionated B cells showed that the two lower density fractions (50/60 and 60/65) contained a number of cells which, by cell size determination, appeared to be activated B cells, whereas the two higher density fractions (65/72 and greater than 72) appeared to contain predominantly small resting B cells contaminated by many fewer activated B cells. Functionally, the capacity of fractionated B cells to act as accessory cells for a concanavalin A response or present the antigens chicken ovalbumin (OVA) or OVA-tryptic digest gave similar results, which indicated a striking hierarchy of accessory cell function in the different Percoll fractions. When normalized to the most active low-density fraction (50/60%), the activity of the other fractions were: 60/65 = 78%; 65/72 = 25%; and greater than 72 = 4%. The differences in the functional capacity between the various Percoll fractions did not appear to be due to differences in Ia expression. Although the expression of Ia varied approximately 12-fold within any one fraction, there was little difference in the mean amount of Ia on cells obtained from the various fractions. Kinetic studies showed that activation of B cells with LPS and dextran sulfate resulted in the expression of two stages of functional development. The first stage was an increased efficiency of accessory cell function that was abrogated by irradiation with 4000 rad followed by a second stage, which was characterized by the acquisition of resistance to treatment with 4000 rad. When nonfractionated B cells that had been stimulated with LPS and DexSO4 were sorted on the basis of cell size into a small B cell fraction and a large B cell fraction, only the large B cells were able to present antigen. Taken together, these data suggest that much of the accessory cell function associated with splenic B cells can be accounted for by the relatively small percentage of activated B cells present in the spleen.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Interleukin 4 enhances the ability of antigen-specific B cells to form conjugates with T cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
V M Sanders R Fernandez-Botran J W Uhr E S Vitetta 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1987,139(7):2349-2354
T cell-B cell conjugates are formed when trinitrophenyl-specific B cells are exposed to trinitrophenyl-ovalbumin and ovalbumin-specific T hybridoma cells. The proportion of conjugates was increased two- to threefold when antigen-pulsed trinitrophenyl-specific B cells, but not T cells, were pre-exposed to interleukin 4. Antigen-specific B cells pretreated with antigen and interleukin 4 and cultured in the presence of specific T helper cells also produced a larger proportion of antibody-secreting cells as compared to cells pretreated with antigen alone. The interleukin 4-induced enhancement of T/B conjugate formation occurred over a wide range of antigen concentrations, was dependent on the concentration of interleukin 4, and was inhibited by the monoclonal anti-interleukin 4 antibody, 11B11. The importance of Ia antigens in the enhancement of conjugate formation and generation of antibody-secreting cells is suggested by a) the fact that the interleukin 4-mediated increase in the density of Ia antigens on the antigen-specific B cells correlated with their enhanced ability to form T/B conjugates, b) the kinetics of the interleukin 4-mediated increase in conjugate formation and surface Ia expression were similar, c) 10- to 20-fold higher concentrations of anti-I-A antibody were required to inhibit T/B conjugate formation by 50% with interleukin 4-treated antigen-specific B cells compared with untreated antigen-specific B cells, and d) interferon-gamma, which inhibits the interleukin 4-mediated increase in Ia antigens, inhibited the interleukin 4-induced enhancement of T/B conjugate formation. These results indicate that the interleukin 4-induced increase in the expression of Ia antigens on B cells plays an important role in the enhancement of T/B cell interactions and the subsequent differentiation of antigen-specific B cells into antibody-secreting cells. 相似文献

Expression of membrane activation antigens on murine B lymphocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The expression of two membrane glycoproteins, RL388 antigen and transferrin receptor (TfR), was examined on murine B cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. Immunofluorescent staining with monoclonal antibodies and flow cytofluorometric analysis were used to monitor the expression of these markers as a function of the time in culture, the state of membrane Ia antigen expression, the position in cell cycle, and the degree of B-cell differentiation. Freshly explanted splenic B cells expressed low levels of RL388 antigen and TfR. Following LPS stimulation, increased expression of RL388 antigen was detectable by 8 to 12 hr of culture, a time span characterized by increased Ia antigen expression, blast transformation, and G0 to G1 phase transition. The increased expression of TfR was apparent later and correlated with entry into late G1 phase and the onset of S phase. LPS-stimulated cell cultures treated with actinomycin D (G0/G1 block) exhibited increased expression of Ia antigen, but neither RL388 antigen nor TfR, whereas hydroxyurea treatment (G1/S block) allowed expression of all three markers. These results indicate that hyperexpression of RL388 antigen and TfR occurs during G1 phase and that these events are subsequent to Ia antigen hyperexpression. Finally, B cells in late G1 through M phase of the cell cycle simultaneously express high levels of RL388 antigen and TfR. These findings suggest that the expression patterns of RL388 antigen and TfR might be useful parameters for defining compartments of the murine B-cell cycle. 相似文献

Subpopulations of B lymphocytes have been shown to vary in their expression of Ia alloantigens and polyclonal responsiveness to thymic independent antigens. We have demonstrated that the polyclonal B cell antibody response to dextran sulfate is less sensitive to removal of Ia-positive cells than is the response to LPS. This is a consistent finding whether alloantibody and complement (C) pretreatment is directed toward cells bearing Ia antigens coded for by the entire I region or by the I-A or I-E subregions. Heterogeneity appears to exist within the dextran sulfate-sensitive population in that using high antibody; cell ratios during antibody and C-mediated cell selection results in an inhibition of the proliferative but not the antibody response. This result may indicate a differential expression of Ia antigens on dextran sulfate-sensitive B cells that respond by proliferation versus those cells that produce antibody. Alternatively, proliferative responses to dextran sulfate may be more dependent upon Ia-positive accessory cells than is the polyclonal antibody response. 相似文献

Adherent peritoneal cells (APC) have often been used as a pure and effective macrophage population. Using partition analysis and small numbers of lymphoid cells activated by mitogens (concanavalin A for T cells (in the presence of TCGF) and LPS + DxS for B cells) we found that APC were accessory cells for T cell activation and growth but were not effective for B cells. Although APC were effective in assisting T-cell mitogenesis, they were not especially efficient. However, when APC were mixed with irradiated WEHI-3 cells (a tissue culture line previously shown to exhibit accessory cell activity in vitro for mitogenic activation T and B cells), the APC and WEHI-3 showed apparent synergy. One reason for failure of APC to assist B-cell mitogenesis was traced to the presence of a suppressor cell population which overcame the accessory cell help given by irradiated WEHI-3 cells to LPS-DxS stimulated murine B cells. It is thus possible to find "helper" effects (synergy of APC and WEHI-3 assisting the mitogenesis of T cells), as well as suppressor effects within the range of cells found in adherent accessory cells. 相似文献

In this study, we investigated whether Peyer's patch-derived T-cell subsets participate in vitro in self major histocompatibility (MHC) class II antigen (Ag)-mediated immunoregulatory circuits for gut-mucosal IgA isotype selection in the presence of Peyer's patch (PP)-derived syngeneic surface immunoglobulin M (sIgM)-bearing B cells. When fresh (in vitro unstimulated) sIgM-bearing B cells were cocultured with fresh, PP-derived L3T4+ Vicia villosa-nonadherent (VV-) T cells (T helper (Th) cells), the production of all class-specific immunoglobulins (Ig), but, in particular, IgA, was enhanced two- to sixfold. This augmented Ig production was, however, reduced by nearly 50% when fresh PP-derived Lyt2+ VV-T cells (suppressor T cells) were added. Furthermore, addition of PP-derived L3T4+ VV+ and Lyt 2+ VV+ T cells abrogated, by nearly 100%, the suppression induced by the Lyt 2+ VV-T cells (contrasuppression). When lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated, PP-derived sIgM-bearing B cells were cocultured with the Th cells, the production of each class-specific Ig was similarly enhanced, but Ig levels exceeded those obtained with cultures of the unstimulated B cells (P less than 0.001). Anti-I-A or anti-I-E monoclonal antibody (mAb) inhibited the induction of each immunoregulatory T-cell effector activity (P less than 0.001), and anti-I-A/E inhibited it synergistically. Thus, unstimulated fresh PP-derived T cells appear to be activated and then to exert T-cell effector functions in the sequential development of helper, suppressor, and contrasuppressor immunoregulatory networks in the presence of PP-derived sIgM B cells and, particularly, LPS-preactivated sIgM B cells. Based on the blocking effect of anti-I-A and/or anti-I-E mAb on the induction of each T-cell-mediated immunoregulatory function in class-specific Ig production, it appears that the autoreactive (self MHC class II Ag-reactive) activation of PP T cells evoked by Ia Ag on PP sIgM B cells largely controls mucosal IgA production by the latter cells. Furthermore, this immunoregulation by autoreactive effector T cells, especially the L3T4+ VV- helper T cell, may play a significant role in vivo in gut-mucosal IgA isotype production. 相似文献

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

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

B lymphoblast antigen (BB-1) expressed on Epstein-Barr virus-activated B cell blasts, B lymphoblastoid cell lines, and Burkitt's lymphomas 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32
Two new cell surface antigens expressed on B lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) were defined with cytotoxic mouse monoclonal antibodies. One marker, BB-1 (for B lymphoblast antigen-1), was detected on human and nonhuman primate B-LCL, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-activated B cell blasts, most Burkitt's lymphomas, and Ia+ B lymphoblast-like myelomas. Polyclonal B cell activators such as pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) also induced the expression of BB-1 on immunoglobulin (Ig)-positive cells. In contrast, BB-1 could not be detected on normal lymphoid tissues by complement-dependent cytotoxicity and immunofluorescence (IF) assays or by analysis with a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). T cell blasts, T cell leukemias, and pre-B cell or erythroblastic leukemia cell lines were also BB-1 negative. Of particular interest was the finding that BB-1 was expressed on the Jijoye lymphoma but only marginally on a subline of Jijoye, P3HR-1, that lacks receptors for EBV and produces a defective virus incapable of transforming lymphocytes. A second lymphoblast antigen (LB-1) unlike BB-1, was present on both T and B cell blasts and virus-transformed T- and B-LCL but not on normal lymphoid tissues. 相似文献

We have reported that IL 2 is one of the essential helper factors in culture supernatants from concanavalin A-activated spleen cells or T cell hybridomas that support proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion in B cell cultures responding to anti-immunoglobulin. Here we show that cells in such cultures consume IL 2 and bear high affinity IL 2 receptors detected by binding of purified, radiolabeled IL 2. Induction of high affinity IL 2 receptors depends on addition of both anti-immunoglobulin and helper factors, and does not occur in cultures given only anti-Ig, only helper factors, concanavalin A plus helper factors, or LPS. The majority of IL 2 receptors are on cells that also bear endogenous membrane immunoglobulin, because they are found in the membrane immunoglobulin-positive fraction when cultured cells are separated by fluorescence sorting after overnight culture in the absence of anti-immunoglobulin to allow reexpression of membrane immunoglobulin. 相似文献

Injection of a hybridoma anti-Ia antibody into adult mice results in a dramatic reduction in the expression of B cell sIa without affecting the expression of sIgD or sIgM. This anti-Ia-mediated modulation of B cell sIa occurs within 3 hr and attains it maximum effect within 18 hr after injection of antibody. There is a rapid reexpression of B cell Ia when such sIa- B cells are cultured in vitro. Culture of B cells in vitro with anti-Ia antibody has no discernible effect on the expression of B cell sIa, nor does it prevent the reexpression of sIa on sIa- B cells obtained from anti-Ia-injected mice. Injection of anti-I-A antibody suppresses the expression of both I-A and of I-E, and similarly, injection of anti-I-E suppresses the expression of B cell I-E and I-A antigens. When fluorescein-labeled monoclonal anti-I-A antibody is injected into mice, a significant fraction of B cell sIa can be demonstrated to be internalized by the B cell. The potential immunologic significance of this phenomena of anti-Ia-mediated modulation of B cell sIa is discussed. 相似文献

The major glycoproteins that bind pokeweek B-cell mitogen (Pa-1) and pokeweed T-cell mitogen (Pa-2) were isolated and identified from bone-marrow-derived lymphocytes (B-cells) and thymus-derived lymphocytes (T-cells) of C3H/He mice. The surfaces of the cells were 125I-labelled by using the enzyme lactoperoxidase, and the plasma membranes were isolated from the 125I-labelled cells. These membranes were solubilized with Triton X-100 and subjected to affinity chromatography on the affinity adsorbent prepared by coupling mitogen Pa-1 or Pa-2 to activated Sepharose 4B. The glycoproteins specifically eluted with di-N-acetylchitobiose from the affinity adsorbents were analysed according to their mobility on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. These glycoproteins were further identified by immunoprecipitation with specific antisera. Immunoglobulins, possibly immunoglobulins M and D, were identified in the eluate from the B-cell membranes, but they were not detected in the eluate from the T-cell membranes. The histocompatibility-2-complex proteins (H-2D, H-2K and Ia antigens) were found to be major receptor sites for the pokeweed mitogens on both B-cells and T-cells. However, mitogen Pa-1 (B-cell) has a stronger affinity to Ia antigens than does mitogen Pa-2 (T-cell). 相似文献

In order to study the soluble factor(s) that play an important role for the differentiation of IgG2-secreting B cells, we examined whether membrane IgG2a (mIgG2a)-bearing BALB/c B-lymphoid tumor cells, A20, could be induced to secrete IgG2a after treatment with soluble factors. We detected a potent B-cell differentiation activity inducing the Ig secretion of A20 tumor cells (BCDF-A20) in supernatants of several soluble antigens as well as alloantigen-specific T-cell clones of various genetic backgrounds. Thus, this BCDF-A20 activity was working in an antigen-nonspecific and MHC-nonspecific manner and abundant in many T-cell clones. It was shown that neither interleukin 1, interleukin 2, interferon, T-cell replacing factor, B-cell maturation factor, nor B-cell stimulatory factor-1 alone had any significant effect on the induction of Ig secretion of A20 tumor cells. Using isotype-specific rabbit anti-mouse Ig developers, we showed that mIgG2a+ A20 tumor cells secreted IgG2a after the treatment with soluble factors. The peak of the response of A20 tumor cells to BCDF-A20 was obtained 3 days after the treatment with culture supernatants of T-cell clones. In this study, we have clearly shown that mIgG2a+ A20 tumor cells were able to secrete IgG2a after treatment with T-cell soluble factors. 相似文献
