Recently we reported that antigen-primed T cells from (H-2 u × H-2 s)F1 and (H-2 u × H-2 q)F1 mice responded poorly in vitro to antigen in the context of antigen-presenting cells of the non-H-2 u parent. It was suggested that this effect might be due to unbalanced expression of parental antigens in the F1 hybrid with the result that the non-H-2u A antigens were greatly reduced or absent in these mice. If this were the case, non-H-2u Ia-A cells might be expected to stimulate a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) when cultured with Fl responder cells. When tested, (SJL × PL)F1 responder cells reacted strongly to SJL stimulator cells. There was no significant reaction to PL stimulator cells. The use of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) congenic mice showed the stimulatory antigens to be associated with the MHC. The MLR could be blocked significantly by monoclonal A-specific antibody of the appropriate specificity. When a monoclonal antibody reactivewith a private epitope associated with As was used to probe for the presence of As on the surface of (SJL × PL)F1 spleen cells, no antigen could be detected, indicating loss or alteration of this antigen. These findings suggest that an alteration of the expression of the parental As molecule may be responsible for this phenomenon.Abbreviations used in this paper APC antigen-presenting cells - BSS balanced salt solution - CTL cytotoxic T lymphocyte - IL-2 interleukin-2 - MHC major histocompatibility complex - MLR mixed lymphocyte reaction - T2 suppressor T lymphocyte  相似文献

The incidences of positive anti-erythrocyte autoantibodies (AEA) in New Zealand Black (NZB), C57BL/6, their F1, F2 hybrid, and the F1 × NZB backcross mice were 100, 0, 0, 17, and 51%, respectively. This finding is in keeping with the idea that a combined effect of one to three dominant predisposing NZB gene(s) and a single dominant modifying C57BL/6 gene regulates the AEA production. Studies suggested that the modifying locusAem-1 is loosely linked toMup-1 locus on chromosome 4, and the gene order isAem-1: Mup-1: Gpd-1. We analyzed the effects of theAem-1 locus on other autoimmune traits and found that the gene action ofAem-1 is unrelated to the spontaneous productions of dsDNA-specific antibodies, the retroviral gp70-anti-gp70 immune complexes and natural thymocytotoxic autoantibod ies and to the serum level of retroviral gp70. A significant association was observed between the negative AEA and the low (normal) serum IgM level in (C57BL/6 × NZB)F1 × NZB backcross mice. It remains to be determined whether theAem-1 locus also controls the serum IgM level.Abbreviations used in this paper AEA anti-erythrocyte autoantibody - NTA natural thymocytotoxic autoantibody - gp70 major glycoprotein constituent of the murine C type retrovirus envelope - Mup-1 major urinary protein complex-1 - Gpd-1 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-1 - Akp-1 alkaline phosphatase-1 - Es-1 esterase-1 - Igh-1 immunoglobulin (IgG2a) heavy chain-1  相似文献

Cell fusion was performed between spleen cells from young BALB/cBy (H-2 d) mice which have never been immunized and SP2/0 mouse plasmacytoma cells. A monoclonal H-2-specific cytotoxic IgM antibody was obtained (By-1) which detected a new public biregional H-2 specificity, H-2.m210. The mcAb By-1 reacted strongly with H-2Kd, Dd, and H-2s antigens, gave weak cross-reactions with H-2Kk, Dq, H-2r, and H-2v antigens and was negative with H-2b, H-2f, H-2p, and H-2Ld antigens. A polymorphic reaction pattern was also observed on a panel of lymphocytes from B 10.W strains. The intriguing finding on this reaction pattern was the reactivity on H-2d cells, including the syngeneic BALB/cBy and truly autologous cells. As shown by capping and immunoprecipitation experiments on H-2d cells and by studies on H-2d-transfected mouse L cells, the target molecules for McAb By-1 were H-2Kd and H-2Dd molecules. The BALB/cBy mouse, from whose spleen cells the McAb By-1 was obtained, survived after the fusion experiment, and serum was examined for the presence of cytotoxic H-2-specific antibodies during the rest of its life. At the time of the fusion, no autoreactive serum antibodies were found, but about 4 months later, we found in the serum of this mouse autoreactive H-2-specific cytotoxic IgM antibodies. The serum antibodies followed the same reaction pattern as that of the McAb By-1. As far as we know, this is the first report of autoreactive H-2-specific antibodies in serum of a mouse which has never been immunized and of the first natural autoreactive H-2-specific monoclonal antibody.Abbreviations McAb monoclonal antibody - MHC major histocompatibility complex - H-2 major histocompatibility complex of mice - CTLs cytotoxic T cells - FMF flow microfluorometry - FITC fluorescein isothiocyanate - LPS lipopolysaccharide W.E. coli 0111:134 - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - Iodogen 1,3,4,6,-tetrachloro-3,6-diphenylglycoluril - GAMIg goat-antimouse immunoglobulin - Staph-A Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I  相似文献

The level of cell proliferation and interleukin-2 (IL-2) production observed in an anti-Mls mixed lymphocyte reaction between spleen cells from H-2 compatible, Mls incompatible mouse strains is determined by the H-2 haplotype of the mouse combination. Thus, while AKR (H-2 k) spleen cells stimulated strong M1sa responses in H-2k responder cells, AKR H-2b spleen cells stimulated no or negligible M1sa responses in responder cells from H-2 bmouse strains. This effect was observed at the levels of IL-2 production and cell proliferation. The magnitude of the response observed using F1 (H-2 k/H-2 b) responder cells was found to be a function of stimulator rather than responder cells. The poor stimulatory capacity of AKRH-2 bspleen cells was also shown not to be due to the loss of the stimulatory Mls aallele during the construction of the congenic strain from AKR and C57BL/6 parental strains. Using stimulator cells from a second series of congenic mice, we found H-2 b(strain DLLP) again to represent a poorly Mlsa stimulatory H-2 haplotype. In addition, H-2q (DBA/1) cells displayed very poor Mlsa stimulatory potential while H-2d (D1.C) cells were efficient Mlsa stimulators. Again the effect was shown to be at the level of the stimulator cells. In toto, our findings indicate that the H-2 kand H-2 dhaplotypes encode strong Mlsa stimulatory potential while the H-2 band H-2 qhaplotypes determine poor Mlsa stimulatory potential in primary in vitro responses, measured as cell proliferation and IL-2 production.Abbreviations used in this paper: CTL cytotoxic T lymphocyte - IL-1 interleukin-1 - IL-2 interleukin-2 - MLR mixed lymphocyte reaction - NMS normal mouse serum  相似文献

When B10.D2 (H-2d) mice are immunized with lymphoid cells from C57B1/10 (H-2 d ) and their antisera tested against B10.A (H-2 a ) target cells, only antibodies to H-2.5 are measured. The same is true for immunization of DBA/2 (H-2 d ) mice when their antisera are absorbed with B10.D2 cells prior to testing. Irrespective of the dose of immunogen administered, the primary hemagglutinin response of B10.D2 mice is significantly lower than that of DBA/2 mice and (B10.D2 × DBA/2)F1 hybrids, but the secondary responses are similar. The low responsiveness of B10.D2 mice appears to be determined by a single dominant gene with incomplete penetrance; the gene is not linked to eitherH- 2, Hc, or the immunoglobulin allotype loci. In addition, the H-2.5 hemagglutinin response is susceptible to nongenetic influences. When antisera from B10.D2, devoid of H-2.5 hemagglutinins, were assayed in a complement-mediated cytotoxic test, they contained almost as much anti-H-2.5 activity as did the antisera from DBA/2 mice or (B10.D2 × DBA/2)F1 hybrids. The possibility is discussed that the locus responsible for the deficient primary hemagglutinin response of B 10.D2 may not be determinant-specific but may affect hemagglutinin responses in general.  相似文献

Genetic control of IgM responses to (T,G)-A — L   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
The primary antibody response to aqueous immunization with a low molecular-weight lot of (T,G)-A — L (#420) was studied in congenic pairs of inbred mouse strains. Two new genetic controls were identified, both of which quantitatively regulate the production of IgM anti-(T,G)-A — L antibody. Testing of F1 and F2 progeny demonstrated that one of these genes is linked to the major histocompatibility (H-2) complex, and that high response is dominant over low response. Whether this gene is identical toIr-1A is not yet known. The other gene, designatedIg-TGAL M , is linked to the immunoglobulin heavy-chain allotype locus (Ig-1) and is expressed in a genedose dependent manner. Following secondary challenge with (T,G)-A — L 420, quantitative differences in IgG antibody response were observed inIr-1A high-responder congenics differing only at theIg-1 locus. Breeding studies, however, failed to demonstrate any linkage between this locus and the quantitative control of IgG anti-(T,G)-A — L antibody. These data demonstrate thatH-2-linked immune response genes can regulate IgM as well as IgG antibody responses, that genetic control of the IgM response to (T,G)-A — L is linked toIg-1, and that bothH-2-linked andIg-1-linked genes may simultaneously affect an IgM antibody response to the same antigen.Abbreviations used in this paper are (T,G)-A — L poly-l-(Tyr,Glu)-poly-d,l-Ala-poly-l-Lys - NMS normal mouse serum - SRBC sheep red blood cells - i.p. intraperitoneal - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - RAMG polyvalent rabbit anti-mouse globulin - 2-Me 2-Mercaptoethanol - 2-MeS 2-Me-sensitive - PFC plaque-forming cells - ABC antigen-binding cells  相似文献

The differential expression of H-2 specificities recognized by antibody and by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been studied using a clone (FY7) of the C57BL/6 leukemia cell line FBL-3 (H-2 b /H-2 b ). Unlike C57BL/10 spleen cells, EL-4 lymphoma cells and Y57-2C leukemia cells (allH-2 b /H-2 b ), FY7 failed to induce the primary in vitro generation of anti-H-2b CTL by (B10.A x A)F1 (H-2 a /H-2 a or (B10.D2 x BALB/c)F1 (H-2 d /H-2 d ) responder spleen cells. In addition, FY7 was not lysed by, and did not competitively inhibit anti-H-2b CTL. Quantitative absorption tests with H-2Kb and H-2Db antisera revealed that FY7 expressed these antigens in quantitatively similar amounts to EL-4. The H-2Kb product of FY7 appeared to be identical with that of C57BL/10 spleen cells both in apparent molecular weight and isoelectric point. Yet FY7 failed to inhibit anti-H-2Kb CTL competitively in a cold target inhibition assay. Possible mechanisms are discussed for the lack of T-lymphocyte recognition of the H-2Kb-gene product expressed by FY7.Abbreviations used in this paper CTL cytotoxic T lymphocytes - MHC major histocompatibility complex - MLC mixed lymphocyte culture - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

Mice of certain strains are highly sensitive to development of a severe immunodeficiency disease following inoculation as adults with LP-BM5 murine leukemia viruses (MuLV) whereas others are extremely resistant. These strain-dependent differences in response to infection have been shown to be genetically determined with resistance to disease being, in general, associated with homozygosity for Fv-1 nand H-2 haplotypes a and d and sensitivity with homozygosity for Fv-1 band other H-2 haplotypes including b, s, and q. The Fv-1 b, H-2 rstrain RIIIS/J (RIIIS) was found to be highly resistant to disease even though B10.RIII(71NS)/J (B10.RIII), also H-2 r, was very sensitive, thus excluding a role for H-2 in the resistance of RIIIS. The characteristics of RIIIS resistance were evaluated in studies of infected (B10.RIII×RIIIS) F1, F2 and reciprocal backcross mice. Resistance to disease was shown to be semidominant and determined by more than one gene, although a preponderant influence of a single gene was suggested. Studies of segregating populations showed that resistance was not associated with or linked to polymorphisms of the V \complex or genes in proximity to the Emv-2 locus on chromosome 8. However, there was almost complete concordance between absence of disease in infected mice and inhibition of ecotropic virus spread. These results demonstrate that genes other than Fv-1 or H-2 can profoundly influence the development of retrovirus-induced immunodeficiency and replication of ecotropic viruses.Abbreviations MuLV murine leukemia virus - MCF mink cell focus-inducing MuLV - B6 C57BL/6 - BM5d the defective virus in LP-BM5 MuLV - MAIDS murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome - RIIIS RIIIS/J - B10.RIII B10.RIII (71NS)/J - MLR mixed lymphocyte reaction - FACS fluorescence activated cell sorter  相似文献

We previously noted that Mlsa,c C58/J responder cells proliferated unexpectedly to H-2k-compatible Mlsa or Mlsc prototypic stimulator cells in a primary mixed lymphocyte reaction. The present investigation was performed to evaluate whether the response of C58/J T cells to these H-2- and Mls-compatible stimulator cells could functionally identify a newly-defined member of the Mls superantigen family through its allostimulatory ability. We observed that C58/J responder cells also proliferated when cultured with H-2-compatible prototypic Mlsnull, Mlsb (nonstimulatory), or Mlsa,c splenic stimulator cells. The widely distributed nature of the non-MHC ligand recognized by C58/J T cells is indicated by the finding that 11 of 12 H-2k inbred mouse strains clearly expressed this specificity. A gradient of stimulatory capacity from low to high across this newly-defined non-MHC difference was detected with splenocytes from these different inbred mouse strains. The Mlsa,c genetic composition of C58/J was confirmed by the observation that crossing C58/J with parental B10.BR (responsive to both Mlsa and Mlsc determinants) generated F1 progeny that were unresponsive to H-2k-compatible Mlsa, Mlsc, or Mlsa,c stimulator cells. Like prototypic Mlsa and Mlsc, the non-MHC specificity recognized by C58/J responder cells, termed Mlsf, was particularly sensitive to radiation (versus mitomycin C) treatment of the stimulator cells, was greatly augmented after anti-IgD activation of splenic stimulator cells, was blocked with anti-MHC class II antibody, and was effectively presented by phenotypically normal female but not B cell-defective xid+ male CBA/N F1 stimulator cells.

Somatic cell hybridization of NS.1 nonsecretor myeloma cells with spleen cells of (DBA/2 × C57BL/6)F1 mice immunized against the myeloma MOPC 70A of BALB/c mice led to the establishment of five hybridoma clones which continuously secrete anti-MOPC 70A cytotoxic antibodies. The respective antigen detected by each of the five monoclonal antibodies is expressed both on plasmacytomas and on antibody-secreting cells as the only normal cell type. The tissue distribution of this new antigen is different from that reported for the alloantigen PC.1, and we have therefore designated it as PC.2. On the basis of immune elimination of direct and indirect plaque-forming cells, all mouse strains tested express PC.2 determinants, identifying PC.2 essentially as an autoantigen. Conventional anti-PC.1 alloantiserum contains antibodies to the PC.2 determinant, and these antibodies are distinguishable from the anti-PC.1 antibodies proper by the fact that only the latter are absorbed by liver cells. Monoclonal anti-PC.2 antibodies are not directed against MuLV-(murine leukemia virus) —associated antigens as over 20 ecotropic, several MCF (mink colony forming) recombinant, and xenotropic viruses failed to react in immunofluorescence assays.Abbreviations used in this paper PFC plaque-forming cell(s) - PC plasma cell - SRBC sheep red blood cell - B6 C57BL/6 - MuLV murine leukemia virus  相似文献

(AQR×B10)F1 mice were grafted with skin from donors differing in theK, I, KI, andISD regions of theH-2 complex. A dichotomy was observed in the fate of theH-2I-disparate grafts: either they were rejected acutely within the second week or were accepted indefinitely. Acceptances were much more common among male than female hosts. Acceptor status was limited to the I group, was unpredictable in occurrence, was not well-correlated with positive serum anti-Ia titers, and did not confer protection of grafts that were alike atH-2I but different atH-2K orH-2D. Since theH-2I barrier studied here elicited such divergent responses in genetically identical hosts, it is unlikely that any histocompatibility typing test could predict graft fate.Abbreviations used in this paper are MST median survival time - MHC major histocompatibility complex - CTL cytotoxic T lymphocyte - B10 C57 BL/10 - 6R BIO.T(6R) - B10.A BIO.

The B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is a member of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily that specifically regulates B lymphocyte proliferation and survival. Excess BAFF leads to overproduction of antibodies for secretion, anti-dsDNA antibodies and a lupus-like syndrome in mice. To investigate whether transgenic overexpression of the zebrafish BAFF leads to immunoglobulin changes and/or early maturing of the immune system, a Tol2-GFP-2A-BAFF/His recombinant plasmid was constructed by inserting a 2A peptide between the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and BAFF sequences. Functional GFP and BAFF proteins were expressed separately and confirmed in HeLa cells. The relative expression of immune-related genes (IgLC-1, IgLC-2, IgLC-3, IgD, IgM and IL-4), early lymphoid markers (Ikaros, Rag-1 and TCRAC), and the protooncogene Bcl-2 were evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in F0 founder of transgenic zebrafish juveniles and adults. Ectopic expression of BAFF in adults was confirmed using Western blots and was shown to upregulate IgLC-1, IgLC-2, IgD, IgM, IgZ/T, Ikaros, Rag-1, TCRAC, IL-4 and Bcl-2 expression in juveniles on day 21 and IgLC-1, IgLC-2, IgD, IgM, IgZ/T, Rag-1, TCRAC and Bcl-2 expression in zebrafish three months postfertilization. The relative titers of specific IgM against Edwardsiella tarda WED were assessed using modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the whole body homogenate of zebrafish and demonstrated a significant increase in BAFF-transgenic group. Therefore, our findings provided novel insight into further exploration of modulating adaptive immunity and studying autoimmune diseases caused by regulating BAFF.  相似文献

Sertoli cell-only seminiferous tubules of sterile XX,Sxrl-male mice served as an excellent source of pure Sertoli cells. When H-2-compatible female mice were immunized 3 times with these Sertoli cells, resulting antibodies recognized two antigens on the plasma membrane of testicular Sertoli cells. They were male-specific, but ubiquitously expressed H-Y antigen and the cell lineage-specific antigen which Sertoli cells shared with ovarian follicular cells. Doubly primed (2 or 3 times in vivo, and once in vitro) cytotoxic T cells from these females lysed target Sertoli cells in both H-2-restricted and nonrestricted manners. While H-2-restricted killings were attributable to H-Y antigen, further work is needed to identify the Sertoli follicular cell lineage-specific antigen as the cause of H-2-nonrestricted killings.  相似文献

A major genetic determinant of natural resistance to bone marrow allografts, designated asHh-3, was mapped to theH-2K region. This gene may code for or regulate the expression of cell surface structures selectively expressed on donor hemopoietic cells and recognized by naturally occurring cytotoxic effectors. Resistance was observed as failure of donor cell growth in the spleen of irradiated 129-strain (H-2 bc ) recipients of H-2k bone marrow cells. The mapping was accomplished by substituting donor cells bearingk alleles throughout theH-2 complex with cells of recombinant mouse lines bearingk alleles at definedH-2 regions. The host antigraft reaction underlying resistance was abrogated by pretreating 129-strain mice with either rabbit antimouse lymphocyte serum or the antimacrophage agent silica. Grafting of H-2Kk cells into mice ancestrally unrelated to 129 but sharing theH-2 bc or the similarH-2 b haplotype, and intoH-2 b/k ,H-2 k/bc , andH-2 k/d F1 hybrids revealed that resistance was unique to 129 mice, since mice of the other strains, including F1 hybrids, were susceptible to the grafts. Thus,Hh-3 incompatibility was a necessary but insufficient condition for the manifestation of allogeneic resistance; other genetic factors not associated withH-2 conferred responder status to 129-strain mice and nonresponder status to D1.LP, B10.129(6M), B10, B6, and possibly to F1 hybrid mice. The possible relationships between allogeneic resistance to H-2k marrow grafts, hybrid resistance to H-2k lymphomas, and F1 hybrid antiparental H-2k cytotoxicity induced in vitro are discussed.  相似文献

The secretion and the specificity of cytotoxic mediators from H-2-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were examined using non-virus-producing target tumor cells induced by the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus (SR-RSV) in B10 congenic and recombinant mice. By using rat concanavalin A supernatant, two H-2-restricted CTL clones were established from cytotoxic effector cells of B10.A(5R) mice primed with SR-RSV-induced syngeneic tumor Cell-free supernatants from the H-2-restricted CTL clones cocultured with syngeneic tumor cells had selectively high cytotoxic activity for syngeneic and H-2-compatible tumor cells, but not for H-2-incompatible tumor cells. YAC-1 cells, and B10.A(5R) blasts as defined in the 5-hr 51Cr-release assay. The cytotoxic activity was detected in the cell-free supernatants from the CTL clones cocultured with the CTL-sensitive syngeneic and H-2-compatible tumor cells, but not with the CTL-insensitive tumor cells and YAC-1 cells. The cytotoxic activity of the cell-free supernatant could be adsorbed by the syngeneic tumor cells, but not by YAC-1 and L(s) cells. Thus, the H-2-restricted CTL clones against SR-RSV-induced tumor cells were capable of releasing cytotoxic mediators by coculturing with syngeneic or H-2-compatible tumor cells, and the cytotoxic mediators showed a certain H-2-restricted manner in killing the target cells. These results suggest that the lysis of RSV-induced tumor cells by H-2-restricted CTL can at least in part be mediated by cytotoxic factors.  相似文献

Inbred strains of mice were studied for their susceptibility to the induction of experimental allergic orchitis after sensitization with mouse testicular homogenate in complete Freund's adjuvant accompanied by injections of extract from Bordetella pertussis. Susceptibility to autoimmune orchitis was found to be linked to the major histocompatibility complex in BALB/c and C57BL/10 mice and mapped to genes encoded within the H-2D dregion. In five of six groups of bidirectional (susceptible × resistant) F1 hybrids, H-2D d-linked susceptibility was inherited as a dominant autosomal trait. However, in (BALB/cByJ × DBA/2J)F1 and (DBA/2J × BALB/cByJ)F1 hybrids, dominant autosomal resistance to the induction of autoimmune orchitis was observed. Backcross analysis between the resistant F1 hybrid and the susceptible BALB/cByJ parent suggests that a single independently segregating DBA/2J locus is capable of negating H-2D d-linked susceptibility, and controls resistance to the induction of autoimmune orchitis.Abbreviations used in this paper BP extract Bordetella pertussis extract - CFA complete Freund's adjuvant - EAO experimental allergic orchitis - Ir immune response - MHC major histocompatibility complex - MLH mouse liver homogenate - MTH mouse testis homogenate - PI pathology index  相似文献

Peritoneal cavity cells were isolated from IL6-gene knockout (IL6(-/-)) and wild-type mice and stained for expression of IgM, CD5, and CD23. B1 cell (IgM(+)/CD23(-), CD5(+)/IgM(+)) numbers were increased twofold in IL6(-/-) mice compared to normals while IgM(+)/CD23(+) (B2) cell numbers were reduced threefold. Intestinal antibody levels were also determined for both total immunoglobulin and phosphorylcholine (PC)-specific and LPS-specific antibody following oral challenge with attenuated Salmonella typhimurium. Total immunoglobulin levels (IgM, IgG, and IgA) were reduced 60-80% in intestinal secretions of IL6(-/-) mice compared to wild-type controls; however, PC-specific antibody was significantly higher in IL6(-/-) mice. Anti-LPS antibodies were also three- to sevenfold higher in IL6(-/-) mice compared to controls following Salmonella challenge. These data suggest that in IL6(-/-) mice the development of mucosal B2 cells is impaired but that intestinal B1 cells responding to microbial antigens such as PC and LPS develop normally and are fully functional.  相似文献

T-cell clones specific for the synthetic polypeptide antigen poly(LPhe, LGlu)-poly(DLAla)--poly(LLys) of (C57BL/6 x C3H/HeJ)F1 origin were tested for their biological activities. One group of clones was restricted in its proliferative response to the H-2 b haplotype, the second to the H-2 k haplotype, and the third to the F1 unique Ia determinants. All the clones which proliferated in response to antigen secreted interleukin-2 (IL-2) following stimulation. The H-2 restriction of the IL-2 secretion was the same as that of the proliferation. Two of the clones tested, C.6 and C.10, could provide help to B cells in antibody production. However, the genetic restriction profile of the helper activity was less stringent than that for the proliferative response. Thus, C.6, which proliferated in the presence of F1 antigen-presenting cells only, could help B cells and accessory cells of C3H/HeJ. C.10, which was restricted in its proliferative response to the H-2 b haplotype, could collaborate with B cells and accessory cells of the H-2 k haplotype as well. The antibody response of both clones was restricted to the parental or F1 strains.Abbreviations used in this paper (T, G)-A-L poly-(LTyr, LGlu)poly(DLAla)--poly(LLys) - (Phe, G)-A--L poly(LPhe, LGlu)-poly(DLAla)--poly(LLys) - APC antigen-presenting cells - Con A concanavalin A - FCS fetal calf serum - IL-2 interleukin-2  相似文献

Previous studies have demonstrated that the level of the oxazolone-specific antibody response induced by contact sensitization is under the control of H-2 and Igh-1-linked genes. The aim of the present study was to clarify the role of H-2 and Igh-1 genes in the regulation of antibody affinity and isotype composition of oxazolone-specific antibodies. Analysis of the antibody response to oxazolone has revealed different ratios of IgG2a and IgG2b antibodies in mice carrying the Igh-1 b allele and in strains carrying alleles a, c, and e. The characteristic ratio of IgG2a and IgG2b isotypes persisted during the whole period of the primary and secondary antibody response of CBA and CBA-Ig b Igh-C congenic mice. The Igh-1-linked genes influenced the isotype distribution and not the affinity of oxazolone-specific antibodies induced by contact sensitization.Abbreviations used in this paper c.Ig chicken immunoglobulin - Igh-C constant region of immunoglobulin heavy chain - DNCB 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene - DTH delayed-type hypersensitivity - FITC fluorescein isothiocyanate - Igh-1 cluster of structural heavy chain allotype genes of IgG2a - KLH keyhole limpet hemocyanin - KSCN potassium-sulfocyanid - MHC major histocompatibility complex - Ox oxazolone (4-ethoxymethylene-2-phenyl-5-oxazolone - Ox-BSA oxazolone-bovine serum albumin - Ox-cap oxazolone-capronic acid - Ox-MSA oxazolone-mouse serum albumin - NP 4-hydroxy-3nitrophenyl acetyl - PVP polivinylpirrolidon - RIA radioimmunoassay - SRBC sheep red blood cell - TH T helper - TS T suppressor - Igh-V variable region of immunoglobulin heavy chain  相似文献

To determine the locus in theH-2 complex that affects susceptibility to the development of pulmonary adenomas in mice,H-2 congenic and recombinant strains of mice with A/Wy, BALB/c, C3H, and B10 backgrounds were subjected to treatment with urethane. The average number and the incidence of adenoma foci were recorded five months after the treatment. InH-2 congenic strains on the A/Wy background, the average number of adenoma foci per mouse was significantly higher in mice of the A/Wy, A/J, and A-Tla b (H-2 a ) strains than in A.BY (H-2 b ) mice. In BALB/c and C3H congenic strains, the strains carrying theH-2 k haplotype were more susceptible than those carrying theH-2 b haplotype. InH-2 congenic strains on the B 10 background, the average number and incidence of foci was also higher in haplotypesa, h2, k, andj than in haplotypesb, s, f, d, r, h4, i3, i5, and4. The average numbers of adenoma foci in (A/J × A.BY)F1 (H-2 a /H-2 b ) and (B10 × B10.A)F1 (H-2 b /H-2 a ) were intermediate between the numbers in the parental strains. In [B10.A (4R) × B10.A (3R)]F1 (H-2 h4 /H-2 i3 ) and [B10.A (4R) × B10.A (5R)]F1 (H-2 h4 /H-2 i5 ), the numbers of adenoma foci were higher than in resistant parental recombinants. These patterns of response to urethane matched the patterns of the immune response to lactate dehydrogenase-B (LDH-B) and immunoglobulin gamma 2a (IgG2a) proteins. These differences between mice in their susceptibility to the development of pulmonary adenomas is probably due to the polymorphism of the class II genes in theH-2 complex.  相似文献
