Human T cells from 6 volunteers immunized with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or tetanus toxoid were fractionated on bovine serum albumin (BSA) gradients. These T cell fractions were then recombined with autologous unseparated mononuclear cells or unseparated T cells to determine the effect of each fraction on the proliferative (DNA synthetic) response to the immunizing antigen. Using this separation technique, we were able to define 2 fractions of T cells of widely different densities that had a suppressive effect on the proliferative response to KLH of unfractionated T cells. The demonstration of suppressive activity was possible only if cells were tested within 8 wk of immunization with KLH. These suppressive T cell fractions differed not only in density but also in surface characteristics. Fraction 1 cells had a high proportion of Ia+ cells but no Fc receptors for IgG (FcRG-) were seen, whereas cells from fraction 4 (of higher density) were Ia- and were composed of 12.1 +/- 1.2% FcRG+ cells. this suppression was shown to be specific for the immunizing antigen. One individual who had been immunized with KLH for more than 1 yr in which suppression of KLH-induced proliferation was no longer demonstrable was given primary immunization to tetanus toxoid. Suppression could be demonstrated in fractions 1 and 4 specific for tetanus toxoid; there was no demonstrable effect of these T cell fractions on the response to KLH. We postulate that these are different functional populations of suppressor T cells that regulate antigen specific lymphoproliferation. 相似文献

The development of antigen-specific T lymphocyte lines and clones has greatly facilitated the investigation of T-cell recognition of and response to foreign antigens. In the present study, human antigen-specific helper T cell lines and clones which are completely independent of exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2) have been developed by cyclic restimulation with the soluble antigen keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) to which the T cell donor had previously been immunized. These T cells uniformly bear the OKT4 phenotype and were shown to require both histocompatible antigen-presenting cells (APC) and antigen for optimal proliferation. The T cell line was composed of a highly antigen-specific and clonable T cell population. Following four cycles of antigen stimulation, limiting dilution cloning analysis showed a Poisson distribution of clonable T cells with a precursor frequency of 0.62, and from 88 to 92% of viable clones were specific for the stimulating antigen. Individual clones were obtained which recognized KLH with either DR 1 (one parental Ia haplotype of the donor) or DR 2 (the other parental Ia haplotype) allogeneic APC, but not both. Following stimulation with KLH, the T cell clones produced IL-2. Peak amounts of IL-2 were assayable in the first 6 to 24 hr after stimulation. In contrast, virtually no IL-2 was detectable in supernatants at 72 to 96 hr, suggesting autoutilization by the proliferating T cells. In addition, some clones were also capable of producing both B cell growth factor and IL-2 following KLH stimulation. These IL-2-independent T cells appeared to be derived from a discrete Leu 8-negative subclass of T4+ cells and expressed the full complement of Ia antigen of the donor. Thus, soluble antigen-specific human helper T cell clones have been produced which can be maintained in the absence of exogenous IL-2, elaborate their own growth factors and other immunoregulatory lymphokines, and show fine DR-related restriction to either one or the other parental DR haplotypes in antigen-stimulated proliferative responses. 相似文献

Vaccines have been recently developed to treat various diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease in addition to infectious diseases. However, before use in the clinical setting, vaccines targeting self-antigens must be demonstrated to be effective and safe, evoking an adequate humoral immune response from B cells while avoiding T cell activation in response to self. Although the vaccine targeting angiotensin II (Ang II) is efficient in rodents and humans, little is known regarding the immunological activation and safety of the vaccine. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency and safety of an Ang II peptide vaccine in mice. Immunization with Ang II conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) successfully induced the production of anti-Ang II antibody, which blocked Ang II signaling in human aortic smooth muscle cells. However, Ang II itself did not activate T cells, as assessed by the proliferation and lymphokine production of T cells in immunized mice, whereas KLH activated T cells. In an Ang II-infused model, the non-immunized mice showed high blood pressure (BP), whereas the immunized mice (Ang II-KLH) showed a significant decrease in systolic BP, accompanied by significant reductions in cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Importantly, anti-Ang II antibody titer was not elevated even after the administration of large amounts of Ang II, indicating that Ang II itself boosted antibody production, most likely due to less activation of T cells. In addition, no accumulation of inflammatory cells was observed in immunized mice, because endogenous Ang II would not activate T cells after immunization with Ang II-KLH. Taken together, these data indicate that vaccines targeting Ang II might be effective to decrease high BP and prevent cardiovascular complications without severe side effects. 相似文献

Glycosylation-enhancing factor (GEF) and IgE-potentiating factor were detected in culture supernatants of rat mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) cells obtained 14 days after infection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb), but not in supernatants of MLN cells of 8-day Nb-infected rats. Both factors were also released from T cells upon antigenic stimulation of KLH + alum-primed spleen cells. The GEF from the Nb-infected rats and KLH + alum-primed spleen cells had affinity for p-aminobenzamidine agarose and were inactivated by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, an inhibitor of serine proteases. These results indicate that the GEF obtained in the two systems is a serine protease and is identical to that obtained by stimulation of normal T cells with lymphocytosis-promoting factor (LPF) from Bordetella pertussis. The concomitant formation of IgE-potentiating factor and GEF by Nb infection, by antigenic simulation of KLH + alum-primed spleen cells, and by treatment of rats with Bordetella pertussis vaccine suggests that the serine protease is involved in a common pathway leading to the selective formation of IgE-potentiating factor. In contrast, glycosylation-inhibiting factor (GIF) is always found during the selective formation of IgE-suppressive factor. IgE-suppressive factor and GIF were formed by MLN cells of 8-day Nb-infected rats and KLH-CFA-primed spleen cells. GIF was detected in culture supernatants of T cell hybridomas 23A4 and 23B6, which form unglycosylated IgE-binding factors upon incubation with IgE. GIF obtained from all of these sources bound to monoclonal anti-lipomodulin. These findings indicate that GIF or lipomodulin is involved in all systems, which leads to the selective formation of IgE-suppressive factor. However, the formation of GIF was not restricted to those conditions in which IgE-suppressive factor was selectively formed. The culture supernatants of MLN cells of 14-day Nb-infected rats and antigen-stimulated KLH + alum-primed spleen cells contained a small amount of GIF, which could be detected after inactivation of GEF. It appears that T cells from these sources formed GEF and GIF, but that GEF overcame the effect of GIF on glycosylation of IgE-binding factors. The results indicate that the nature and biologic activities of IgE-binding factors are decided by the balance between GEF and GIF formed by T cells. 相似文献

We reported previously that BALB/c mice immunized with a polysaccharide (PS) antigen isolated from immunotype 1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and vinblastine sulfate develop T cell-mediated protective immunity, despite their failure to produce specific antibody. In vitro, Lyt-1-,2+, I-J+ T cells from vinblastine- and PS-immunized mice kill P. aeruginosa by secretion of a bactericidal lymphokine. BALB/c mice immunized with PS alone generate neither protective antibodies nor a protective T cell response. The current studies indicate that T cells from mice immunized with PS alone significantly suppress the bactericidal activity of T cells from mice immunized with vinblastine and PS. The suppressor T cells are of the same Lyt-1-,2+, I-J+ phenotype as the bactericidal T cells. Suppression is mediated by a soluble product of these suppressor T cells which both inhibits T cell proliferation and interferes with the production or release of the bactericidal lymphokine. Cyclophosphamide, used in other systems to remove suppressor T cells, fails to enhance bacterial killing and does not inhibit suppressor cell activity. These studies indicate that immunization with PS elicits responses in two functionally distinct subgroups of Lyt-1-,2+, I-J+ T cells, and that these cells are distinguishable by their sensitivity to vinblastine sulfate. 相似文献

To investigate the mechanisms that regulate the action of interleukin 2 (IL 2) and possibly limit its activity, we screened supernatants of mouse spleen cell cultures which had been stimulated with concanavalin A (Con A) for their ability to inhibit IL 2-mediated proliferation of a cloned IL 2-dependent line. Inhibitory activities with m.w. of 10,000 to 12,000 and 60,000 to 80,000 daltons could be identified in supernatants of both L3T4+ and Ly-2+ T cells, but not in supernatants of Con A or lipopolysaccharide-stimulated B cells. Maximal inhibitory activity was observed after 3 to 4 days of stimulation, and this inhibitory activity could be overcome by increasing the stimulatory concentration of IL 2. When the factor was further purified by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, it eluted as a single peak with an m.w. of 11,000 to 12,000 daltons which inhibited IL 2- but not IL 3-dependent proliferation. The mechanisms by which this new lymphokine might play in the control of the clonal expansion of T lymphocytes are discussed. 相似文献

Differential homing commitments of antigen-specific T cells after oral or parenteral immunization in humans 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Animal experiments show that lymphocytes activated in the intestine circulate through mesenteric lymph nodes, lymphatics, and blood, returning to the gut. Homing into intestinal lamina propria is mediated by lymphocyte surface homing receptors, mainly the alpha4beta7-integrin. We studied in humans whether intestinal T cells entering the blood upon antigenic activation would exhibit homing commitments to the gut. Volunteers were immunized with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) first orally and then parenterally or only parenterally, and the expression of alpha4beta7 on T cells specific for KLH or tetanus toxoid was studied. Circulating T cells were depleted of alpha4beta7+ cells by immunomagnetic selection. This depletion removed a significant proportion of the KLH-specific cells (mean decrease in proliferative response of 71%) in the orally immunized volunteers. No difference in the KLH-induced proliferation was found between the total and the alpha4beta7-depleted populations in volunteers parenterally immunized with KLH, regardless of whether a preceding mucosal priming had taken place or not. In both immunization groups, the depletion of alpha4beta7+ cells had no influence on the proliferative response to tetanus toxoid. We conclude that, in contrast to T cells activated by parenteral immunization, gut-derived T cells have preferential homing commitments to the gut. This commitment was no longer observed after a subsequent parenteral Ag administration. Besides showing that the site of Ag encounter determines the expression of homing receptors, the present study is the first to provide evidence for a circulation of newly activated Ag-specific intestinal T cells back to the gut in humans. 相似文献

Two types of murine helper T cell clone. I. Definition according to profiles of lymphokine activities and secreted proteins 总被引:301,自引:0,他引:301

A panel of antigen-specific mouse helper T cell clones was characterized according to patterns of lymphokine activity production, and two types of T cell were distinguished. Type 1 T helper cells (TH1) produced IL 2, interferon-gamma, GM-CSF, and IL 3 in response to antigen + presenting cells or to Con A, whereas type 2 helper T cells (TH2) produced IL 3, BSF1, and two other activities unique to the TH2 subset, a mast cell growth factor distinct from IL 3 and a T cell growth factor distinct from IL 2. Clones representing each type of T cell were characterized, and the pattern of lymphokine activities was consistent within each set. The secreted proteins induced by Con A were analyzed by biosynthetic labeling and SDS gel electrophoresis, and significant differences were seen between the two groups of T cell line. Both types of T cell grew in response to alternating cycles of antigen stimulation, followed by growth in IL 2-containing medium. Examples of both types of T cell were also specific for or restricted by the I region of the MHC, and the surface marker phenotype of the majority of both types was Ly-1+, Lyt-2-, L3T4+, Both types of helper T cell could provide help for B cells, but the nature of the help differed. TH1 cells were found among examples of T cell clones specific for chicken RBC and mouse alloantigens. TH2 cells were found among clones specific for mouse alloantigens, fowl gamma-globulin, and KLH. The relationship between these two types of T cells and previously described subsets of T helper cells is discussed. 相似文献

Dinitrophenyl (DNP)-Ficoll will elicit typical delayed hypersensitivity skin reactions in guinea pigs immunized with DNP-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). We observed that lymph node cells (LNC) from these animals produced the lymphokine, monocyte chemotactic factor (MNL CTX) when stimulated by DNP-Ficoll in vitro. This response was antigen and hapten specific since LNC from nonimmune guinea pigs or those immunized with nonDNP containing antigens were not stimulated by DNP-Ficoll. Lymph node cells were fractionated into T- and B-cell-enriched populations to determine the nature of the DNP-Ficoll-responsive cell. Only the B-lymphocyte-enriched population produced MNL CTX in response to DNP-Ficoll. The purity of the B-cell population was demonstrated by its failure to respond to PHA and by the fact that B cells derived from DNP-although they could no longer respond without T-cell help to the T-dependent antigen, DNP-OVA. These findings suggest that the hapten-specific response of guinea pigs to DNP-Ficoll may be a form of B-cell-mediated delayed hypersensitivity. 相似文献

Cooperation between humoral factor(s) and Lyt-2+ T cells in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism of cooperation between the L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cell subsets in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs was studied by adoptive cell transfer using nude mice. Simultaneous transfer of a long-term-cultured Sendai virus-specific L3T4+ T cell line with L3T4+ cell-depleted immune spleen cell (L3T4-) fraction to infected nude mice could result in viral clearance, although single injection with either of these cells was not effective. Instead of the L3T4+ T cells, culture supernatants of the L3T4- T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated mouse spleen cells and mouse serum immunized with the virus were also active in the cooperative viral clearance with L3T4- fraction. The role of the Sendai virus-sensitized L3T4- cell fraction in cooperative viral clearance with humoral factors could be replaced by neither T cell-deprived immune spleen cell fraction nor normal spleen cells. The 1,500 units of recombinant mouse interleukin 2 (IL-2), which was more than 12 times the IL-2 activity present in the supernatants of the T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells, failed to clear the virus in combination with the L3T4- fraction. Monoclonal antibodies to Sendai or mouse hepatitis viruses were also effective in the cooperative antiviral activity. IL-2 activity was not detected in these monoclonal antibodies and the mouse immune serum. Single injection of any humoral factors failed to clear the virus. These results indicate that Sendai virus-sensitized Lyt-2+ subset of T cells acts cooperatively with humoral factor(s) other than IL-2 or Sendai virus-specific antibody present in supernatants of the T cell line, of concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells or hybridomas, and in mouse serum immunized with the virus. 相似文献

Activation and immunoregulation of antigen-specific human b lymphocyte responses: multifaceted role of the monocyte 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
The multifaceted role of the monocyte in the induction and modulation of antigen-specific antibody responses by human B cells was delineated. Monocytes were absolutely required for the induction of specific antibody responses to both TT and KLH in an antigen-induced in vitro assay. Monocytes were also required for the PWM induction of specific antibody in immunized subjects. Pulsing monocytes with specific antigen or with PWM consistently stimulated proliferation of T cells in absence of added antigen and could also stimulate specific antibody synthesis although less consistently. Stimulation of specific antibody responses with antigen required fewer numbers of monocytes than did stimulation of specific antibody responses with PWM. Polyclonal antibody synthesis induced by PWM was also dependent on monocytes. However, polyclonal antibody synthesis induced by supraoptimal concentrations of antigen was usually optimal in the absence of monocytes and was actually suppressed when increased numbers of monocytes were added to monocyte-depleted cultures. Monocyte supernatants could not replace the absolute requirements for monocytes in the induction of specific antibody synthesis. However, monocyte supernatants could profoundly modulate the antigen-specific as well as the polyclonal Ig response of lymphocytes to either antigen or PWM stimulation in a manner closely resembling monocytes themselves. Thus, we demonstrated that monocytes and their products play a critical role in the activation and immunoregulation of antigen-specific antibody responses of human B cells. 相似文献

The development of IL-4 synthesis is a critical step in the regulation of immune responses. Our studies focused on the production of IL-4 by CD4+ T cells taken from mice primed with the Ag keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). In vitro stimulation of such CD4+ T cells with KLH resulted in little or no IL-4 production in the first 24 h of stimulation, indicating that little IL-4 synthesis persists in vivo after immunization. However, IL-4 was generated later at 24 to 96 h of in vitro stimulation, indicating that the potential to produce IL-4 was retained by the KLH-primed CD4+ T cells, but that in vitro maturation of the T cells was required before initiation of IL-4 production. The amount of IL-4 produced in vitro by KLH-primed T cells from BALB/c mice was influenced by several factors. First, stimulation of KLH-primed CD4+ T cells with higher in vitro concentrations of KLH resulted in more IL-4 synthesis, but this was accompanied by more IFN-gamma as well. Second, primed CD4+ T cells from lymph nodes (axillary and popliteal) produced significantly more IL-4 than primed splenic T cells. Third, when primed B cells were utilized to present low concentrations of KLH to the T cells, IL-4 but not IFN-gamma was produced. In contrast, use of splenic adherent cells resulted in IFN-gamma but not IL-4 synthesis. These restricted patterns of lymphokine synthesis, however, were observed only with low concentrations of KLH. Fourth, the amount of IL-4 produced and its regulation by the presence of IFN-gamma differed among mouse strains, in that BALB/c T cells produced much more IL-4 than H-2 identical DBA/2 T cells. Our results characterizing the APC and Ag dose requirements for IL-4 synthesis in KLH-primed T cells from different strains of mice are consistent with previous observations that distinct strains of mice differ in the type of immune response generated against different pathogens, and with the concept that low Ag concentrations preferentially result in high levels of IgE synthesis, which is absolutely dependent on IL-4 production. 相似文献

Requirements for the adoptive transfer of antibody responses to a priming antigen in man 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Antibody responses to recall vaccines can be adoptively transferred after marrow transplantation in man. Transfer of responses to priming Ag has not been successful, although this would broaden the range of organisms to which recipients could be protected. To investigate the importance of T cells and Ag in such transfer we primed marrow donors with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) 1 or 3 wk before marrow harvesting. B cells secreting IgM and IgG anti-KLH antibody were present in donor marrow at both 1 and 3 wk after immunization. After T cell depletion, donor marrow was infused into chemo-irradiated recipients, half of whom were immunized pretransplant with KLH. We found no evidence for the transfer of the IgM component of the response. Clonal expansion of the transferred IgG antibody-secreting cells with a corresponding rise in recipient serum IgG antibody levels was seen only when donors were primed 3 wk before marrow harvest and when the recipients were also immunized. IEF and immunoblotting demonstrated that successful transfer coincided with maturation of the IgG primary response from a polyclonal to an oligoclonal pattern and confirmed that donor oligoclonal bands appeared in the recipient serum. We conclude that the immunization protocols required for the transfer of antibody responses to priming Ag reflect the initial dependence of unprimed B cells on T cell help and on prolonged Ag stimulation. Ag-stimulated primary B cells in T cell-depleted marrow respond only to the noncognate growth and differentiation signals available in the chemo-irradiated recipient after an initial period of clonal selection and expansion in the donor which is both T cell and Ag dependent. Even after this initial selection, continued expansion of antibody-secreting clones in recipients retains an absolute dependence on Ag stimulation. Immunization techniques to protect transplant recipients against organisms such as Pseudomonas and CMV may need to be modified accordingly. 相似文献

Distinct regulation of lymphokine production is found in fresh versus in vitro primed murine helper T cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
A D Weinberg M English S L Swain 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1990,144(5):1800-1807
The kinetics of lymphokine RNA induction and secretion of biologically active lymphokine from CD4-enriched splenic T cell populations was investigated. Cells stimulated immediately after isolation from murine spleen ("fresh" T cells) and cells restimulated after 4 days of in vitro culture ("primed" T cells) were compared. Northern blot analysis and bioassays were used to analyze and quantitate production of eight lymphokines and the IL-2R. Fresh T cells produced high levels of IL-2 and low to moderate levels of IL-3, granulocyte/macrophage-CSF, and IFN-gamma. In vitro primed T cells produced IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, granulocyte/macrophage-CSF, IFN-gamma, and high levels of IL-2R RNA. Comparison of RNA levels and bioassays of supernatants from these populations indicated that primed T cells produced at least 10-fold more of six of the lymphokines than fresh T cells. Only IL-2 was produced in near equal amounts by fresh and primed T cells. There were also marked differences in the kinetics of lymphokine production by fresh and primed CD4+ T cells. After restimulation with Con A and PMA, primed cells produced a short burst of lymphokine RNA that peaked between 7.5 and 13 h and declined after 18 h. Fresh T cells lagged in the initial production of lymphokine RNA, with levels peaking 18 to 44 h after mitogenic stimulation. Depletion of CD4+ cells indicated that cells of helper phenotype were responsible for the majority of lymphokine production from the primed cells. Thus different subpopulations of Th cells defined by their respective ability to respond either directly (fresh T cells) or only after culture and restimulation (primed T cells) show different patterns of lymphokine gene regulation. Other studies suggest that the activity of "fresh" Th cells is due to a population with a "memory" phenotype, while the cells which require culture have a "precursor" phenotype. These distinct patterns of lymphokine gene regulation in the two populations of Th cells may account in part for differences seen in the kinetics and magnitude of the naive and memory immune responses which are regulated by Th cells. 相似文献

The ovine nasal mucosal environment has histological and ultrastructural features that resemble well-known inductive sites of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. In the present study, the nasal mucosa was assessed as a potential mucosal tissue site for delivering vaccines to sheep. Sheep were immunized by either injection with the model antigen, Keyhole Limpet Haemocyanin (KLH), and aluminium hydroxide gel (alum) or by aerosol spray with KLH with and without cholera toxin (CT). Sheep immunized by injection with KLH/alum and aerosol spray with KLH/CT induced strong anti-KLH IgG and IgA serum antibody responses as well as specific T cell memory. Anti-KLH IgG1 responses were significantly higher following immunization by injection and no significant differences in anti-KLH IgG2 responses were detected between groups. Sheep immunized with KLH by aerosol spray without CT did not produce serum antibody and T cell memory responses. Antibody-secreting cells were present in the parotid lymph nodes (draining lymph nodes) of sheep immunized with KLH/alum and KLH/CT, but secreted only Ag-specific IgG1, and not IgG2 or IgA. These results suggest that aerosolization of soluble antigen formulations with CT may provide an alternative method of delivering nasal vaccines to sheep and other large animal species, and that further improvements in antigen penetration of nasal tissues may dramatically improve the strength of the immune response. 相似文献

We used an adoptive transfer system and CD4+ T cell clones with defined lymphokine profiles to examine the role of CD4+ T cells and the types of lymphokines involved in the development of B cell memory and affinity maturation. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-specific CD4+ Th2 clones (which produce IL-4 and IL-5 but not IL-2 or IFN-gamma) were capable of inducing B cell memory and affinity maturation, after transfer into nude mice or after transfer with unprimed B cells into irradiated recipients and immunization with TNP-KLH. In addition, KLH-specific Th1 clones, which produce IL-2 and IFN-gamma but not IL-4 or IL-5, were also effective in inducing B cell memory and high affinity anti-TNP-specific antibody. The induction of affinity maturation by Th1 clones occurred in the absence of IL-4, as anti-IL-4 mAb had no effect on the affinity of the response whereas anti-IFN-gamma mAb completely blocked the response. Th1 clones induced predominantly IgG2a and IgG3 antibody, although Th2 clones induced predominantly IgG1 and IgE antibody. We thus demonstrated that some Th1 as well as some Th2 clones can function in vivo to induce Ig synthesis. These results also suggest that a single type of T cell with a restricted lymphokine profile can induce both the terminal differentiation of B cells into antibody secreting cells as well as induce B cell memory and affinity maturation. Moreover, these results suggest that B cell memory and affinity maturation can occur either in the presence of Th2 clones secreting IL-4 but not IFN-gamma, or alternatively in the presence of Th1 clones secreting IFN-gamma but not IL-4. 相似文献

The role of cytophilic IgG3 antibody in T cell-mediated resistance to infection with the extracellular bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
R B Markham G B Pier J R Schreiber 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1991,146(1):316-320
Previous studies have demonstrated that T lymphocytes from mice immunized with a high m.w. polysaccharide Ag from Fisher-Devlin immunotype I Pseudomonas aeruginosa can adoptively transfer protection against challenge with the homologous bacterial strain to susceptible mice. This T cell-mediated resistance has been found to be B cell dependent, although serum from immunized mice is incapable of passively transferring protection to nonimmune mice. The current studies demonstrate that T cells from immunized mice possess receptors that permit them to be adsorbed to IgG3-secreting hybridomas, but not to IgM-secreting hybridomas. Cross-linking of antibody on the surface of immune T cells results in release of a soluble factor that inhibits bacterial growth. Treatment of T cells to remove cytophilic antibody eliminates their ability to adoptively transfer protection to nonimmune mice, and the protective ability can be restored by co-incubating the T cells with monoclonal P. aeruginosa-specific IgG3 antibody before adoptive transfer to nonimmune mice. These observations are consistent with a model in which T lymphocytes from immunized mice are activated by cross-linking of FcR for IgG3 to secrete an antibacterial lymphokine. The ability of IgG3 at low antibody concentrations to act synergistically with T lymphocytes to inhibit bacterial growth could explain the evolutionary selection of this antibody isotype as the predominant subclass of IgG secreted in response to bacterial capsular polysaccharide Ag. 相似文献

A long-term cultured IL-2-dependent keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)-specific CD8 (T8) suppressor clone (5B9) was generated from a healthy donor hyperimmunized with KLH. The 5B9 clonal population suppressed in vitro anti-KLH antibody response but did not suppress anti-TT antibody response or PWM-driven IgG synthesis. Moreover, 5B9 cells could not suppress anti-TT antibody response even in the presence of free KLH. 5B9 cloned cells suppressed the anti-KLH antibody response of B cells cultured with CD4+4B4+ cells without requiring the presence of CD8+ cells. This KLH-specific CD8 suppressor clone is an effector type rather than an inducer type of suppressor T cell. The cloned cells expressed alpha- and beta-TCR proteins (defined by WT-31 antibody) on their cell surface. More importantly, the CD3:TCR complex was functionally important in the suppression induced by this clone, because after CD3 antigen modulation from its cell surface, the suppressor effector function was abolished. 相似文献

Idiotypic vaccination as a treatment for a B cell lymphoma 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

To develop a model for the active immunotherapy of human B cell malignancy we vaccinated tumor-bearing animals with a well defined tumor associated Ag, the idiotypic Ig. The tumor used was the mouse B cell lymphoma BCL1, a highly malignant tumor in which transfer of a single tumor cell to a syngeneic mouse is capable of causing disease and eventual death. Varying doses (10(2) to 10(4] of BCL1 cells were given to mice on day 0 of the experiment, and treatment by active immunization was initiated on day 3. Immunization with purified, tumor-derived, idiotypic IgM (BCL1 IgM) coupled to keyhole limpet hemacyanin (KLH) was highly effective in treating mice challenged with 10(2) or 10(3) BCL1 cells, but less effective in mice that had received 10(4) tumor cells. Immunization with unconjugated BCL1 IgM showed no signficant therapeutic benefit. Coupling of the IgM to KLH led to higher levels of anti-idiotypic antibody after immunization; however, the higher levels were probably not responsible for the control of the malignancy as there was no correlation in healthy immunized animals between the levels of anti-idiotypic antibody, measured immediately before tumor challenge, and survival. This lack of correlation is due to the emergence of variant tumors in such protected mice. A more significant factor in the therapeutic advantage of KLH conjugation could be that immunization with BCL1 IgM-KLH led to an earlier induction of the anti-idiotypic response than immunization with BCL1 IgM and, as the BCL1, lymphoma divides rapidly, the speed of induction of the immune response may be important in outstripping tumor cell growth. Mice with BCL1 tumour showed some evidence of immunosuppression as indicated by a reduced ability to mount an immune response against KLH. Although it is not possible to model spontaneous human lymphoma accurately, the generation of a functional anti-idiotypic response capable o eliminating a malignant animal lymphoma in situ opens up the possibility of a limited trial of active immunotherapy in selected human patients. 相似文献

Summary Using leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) tests, we studied the activity of xenogeneic immune RNA (I-RNA) extracted from the spleen and lymph nodes of sheep after immunization with human breast carcinoma tissue or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) in inducing lymphocytes from normal healthy donors to mediate immune responses in vitro. Mononuclear cells isolated from venous blood of normal donors, depleted of monocytes and, in some experiments, separated into T cells and non-T cells, were incubated with and without anti-breast carcinoma I-RNA or anti-KLH I-RNA for 20 min at 37° C. Then, lymphocyte adherence was determined by a Coulter counter method in the presence of 3 M KCl extracts of breast carcinoma tissues, control tissue, or KLH. Following incubation with anti-breast carcinoma I-RNA, the adherence of lymphocytes from normal donors was found to be inhibited only in the presence of breast carcinoma extracts. Following incubation with anti-KLH I-RNA, lymphocyte adherence was inhibited only in the presence of KLH. The principal effector cells involved appeared to be T lymphocytes. I-RNA treatment with RNase, but not with DNase or pronase, completely abrogated the LAI responses. In a blind study utilizing coded samples of xenogeneic and allogeneic I-RNA of unknown origin, samples containing activity against breast cancer extracts were identified correctly by LAI.
