We have previously demonstrated that when primed T lymphocytes were repeatedly incubated on monolayers of antigen-pulsed macrophages (M phi), the cells that failed to adhere to the monolayer demonstrated a marked depletion of their proliferative response that was specific both for the antigen used for pulsing the M phi and for Ia determinants on the M phi. In order to further analyze the contribution of the nominal antigen and Ia antigens to the physical binding of T lymphocytes to M phi, we have attempted to block the absorption of T lymphocytes to M phi with a large excess of soluble antigen and with anti-Ia sera. Our results demonstrate that anti-Ia sera inhibit but that soluble antigen augments the binding of specific T lymphocytes to M phi. The implications of these findings for "dual recognition" and "linked recognition" models of T lymphocyte receptors are discussed. 相似文献

A comparison of the stimulatory activities of lymphoid dendritic cells and macrophages in T proliferative responses to various antigens 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The identities of murine accessory cells and the mechanism by which they process antigen and stimulate T cell proliferation have been examined with cell separation techniques and specific agents to block antigen catabolism. Using preparations of splenic dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages (M phi) with minimal cross-contamination, we found that only DC could induce syngeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR), whereas both DC and M phi could initiate allogeneic MLR. This observation may have significant implications for syngeneic MLR as a manifestation of self Ia recognition, and for the cell type that defines self Ia during ontogeny. DC and M phi could present soluble antigens such as purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD) and Salmonella flagellin about equally well to antigen-specific T cell lines. M phi, however, were much more effective than the non-phagocytic DC at inducing T cell proliferation to whole Corynebacterium parvum organisms. These differences could not be attributed to differences in antigen uptake. The results suggest that the bacteria must be ingested and processed by phagocytes before T cell activation. Using the lysosomotropic agent chloroquine to inhibit antigen catabolism in accessory cells, we found that the presentation of large antigens by M phi and DC was abolished by chloroquine treatment, whereas T cell activation by antigens (such as PPD or integral membrane Ia for MLR) that apparently required no processing was relatively insensitive to chloroquine. Thus, in addition to differences between cells, discrete functions within each cell type can also be distinguished. 相似文献

A series of macrophage (M phi) hybridomas were generated by fusion of drug-marked P388D1 (H-2d) tumor cells with CKB (H-2k) splenic adherent cells. The ability of this panel of cloned M phi hybridomas expressing various levels of surface Ia antigens to induce allogeneic mixed lymphocytes responses (MLR) was examined. All MLR stimulatory M phi hybridomas expressed surface Ia antigens. However, some Ia+ and all Ia- M phi hybridomas were unable to induce vigorous MLR responses. Furthermore, even after induction of surface Ia antigen expression with Con A supernatants (Con A Sn) or purified interferon-gamma, the nonstimulatory M phi hybridomas remained ineffective at inducing strong MLR proliferative responses. Furthermore, addition of the latter M phi hybridoma clones (both with and without Con A Sn treatment) to conventional MLR cultures resulted in inhibition of MLR responses. The series of inhibitory M phi hybridomas secreted normal levels of IL 1 upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. After surface Ia induction with Con A Sn, the inhibitory M phi hybridomas could stimulate secretion of IL 2 and expression of IL 2 receptors. Moreover, although they inhibited conventional MLR responses, IL 2 production and IL 2 receptor expression were not significantly inhibited. Addition of these M phi hybridomas 24 to 48 hr after initiation of MLR response also inhibited MLR proliferation. The results indicated that the group of inhibitory M phi hybridomas can inhibit MLR responses after IL 2 secretion and acquisition of IL 2 receptors. Finally, this inhibitory activity has been maintained during 1 yr of continuous in vitro culture, and the hybridomas represent a stable "homogeneous" subpopulation of inhibitory macrophages. Thus, the inhibitory phenotype appears to reflect arrest at a distinct differentiation stage. 相似文献

The role of murine macrophages (M phi) and that of splenic dendritic cells (DC) were investigated in the antigen-specific proliferative response of memory T cells of mice primed with key-hole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) 6 weeks or more before. Peritoneal M phi, whether expressing Ia antigens or not, did not function as autonomous accessory cells (A cells). A-cell activity of the spleen adherent cell population, which comprised M phi in the majority and DC in the minority, was abolished by eliminating DC with a DC-specific monoclonal antibody and complement, and regained by the addition of a small number of DC. Though M phi did not function as autonomous A cells, they augmented the proliferative response in the presence of a small number of DC. This occurred not only in the presence of free antigen, but also when DC and/or M phi were pulsed with antigen. A culture supernatant of M phi having interleukin-1 activity was effective in enhancing the proliferation of T cells which responded to antigen-pulsed DC. On the other hand, interleukin-2 did not replace DC even in the presence of antigen-pulsed Ia+ M phi. We also investigated recently primed T cells, but no evidence was obtained in favor of the competence of M phi as autonomous A cells. 相似文献

Dissection of the functions of antigen-presenting cells in the induction of T cell activation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The functions of antigen-presenting cells (APC) in the initiation of T cell activation was examined by culturing antigen-bearing guinea pig macrophages (M phi) with T cells obtained from antigen-primed animals. Although such antigen-bearing M phi stimulated primed syngeneic T cell DNA synthesis, as assessed by tritiated thymidine incorporation, paraformaldehyde fixation (0.15% for 1 min at 37 degrees C) abolished this capacity. Analysis with acridine orange staining indicated that fixed antigen-bearing M phi could not trigger primed syngeneic T cells to progress from the G0 to the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The addition of control non-antigen-bearing syngeneic or allogeneic M phi but not interleukin 1 or 2 to cultures of T cells and fixed APC permitted a proliferative response. Although the interaction between fixed antigen-bearing M phi and responding T cells was genetically restricted, there was no similar restriction for the supplemental control M phi. In fact, completely Ia-negative endothelial cells (EC) and fibroblasts (FB) could restore antigen responsiveness to cultures of fixed antigen-bearing M phi and syngeneic responding T cells, although they could not directly present antigen. Moreover, metabolically intact accessory cells, including Ia-negative EC and FB, could take up and process antigen to an immunogenic moiety, which fixed Ia-positive M phi could present to primed T cells. These data indicate that recognition of the antigen-Ia complex on an APC is necessary but not sufficient to trigger proliferation of freshly obtained primed T cells. The results additionally support the conclusion that APC carry out at least two separate functions necessary for the initiation of antigen-induced T cell activation. Not only must the APC display the antigen-Ia complex, but it must also convey another required effect. This influence, which apparently involved the establishment of cell to cell contact, was neither Ia nor antigen dependent and could only be provided by a metabolically intact cell. By contrast, genetically restricted antigen presentation could be accomplished by a fixed Ia-positive cell. Only when both the antigen-Ia complex and the influence of an intact accessory cell were provided by the same or different accessory cell were T cells triggered to enter the cell cycle. 相似文献

Modulation of Ia-like antigen expression and antigen-presenting activity of human monocytes by endotoxin and zymosan A 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The environmental agents E. coli endotoxin and zymosan A modulated antigen-specific T cell proliferation in vitro, assessed by 3H-TdR uptake. In the continual presence of these agents, human mononuclear leukocyte responses to the antigens tuberculin PPD, Candida albicans, and mumps were significantly reduced. Treatment of adherent cell-depleted T cells with the agents did not affect their subsequent reactivity to soluble antigens in the presence of normal M phi. However, cultures consisting of pretreated M phi, normal T cells, and soluble antigen gave responses that were only 7 to 38% of control values, indicating that the function of the antigen-presenting cell, not the T cell, was inhibited. This effect was observed only when treatment with endotoxin or zymosan A preceded antigen stimulation by at least 24 hr, suggesting that a gradual inhibition of antigen presentation had occurred. When various ratios of normal antigen-pulsed and agent-treated M phi were cultured with normal T cells, antigen-specific responses were not significantly different from control cultures; this indicated that M phi-mediated suppression was not involved. It did not appear that the inhibition was due to enhanced antigen degradation by the treated M phi because responses were not reconstituted in the presence of excess antigen. After endotoxin or zymosan A treatment of the M phi population the proportion of Ia+ cells was reduced significantly, and surface expression of Ia antigen correlated with the ability of the cell population to present antigens to immune T cells. This suggested that endotoxin and zymosan A induce a loss of surface Ia antigen on antigen-presenting cells that inhibits immune T cell activation. 相似文献

A xenogeneic rat anti-mouse Ia monoclonal antibody, M5/114 (gamma 2b, kappa), was studied for its effects in vitro on T cell proliferative responses. Strain distribution studies revealed that M5/114 could inhibit I-A subregion-restricted T cell responses of the H-2b,d,q,u but not the H-2f,k,s haplotypes, indicating that this xenoantibody recognizes a polymorphic determinant on mouse Ia molecules. This same monoclonal antibody was found to inhibit BALB/c (H-2d) T cell proliferation to both G60A30T10 and G58L38 phi 4. The Ir genes regulating responses to these antigens map to either the I-A subregion (GAT), or the I-A and I-E subregions (GL phi), raising the possibility that M5/114 recognizes both I-A and I-E subregion-encoded Ia glycoproteins. It could be shown, using appropriate F1 responding cells, that M5/114 does in fact affect GAT and GL phi responses by interaction with both the I-A and the I-E subregion products, and not by any nonspecific effect resulting from binding to the I-A subregion product alone. These results are consistent with genetic and biochemical studies directly demonstrating that M5/114 recognizes A alpha A beta and E alpha E beta molecular complexes. The existence of a shared epitope on I-A and I-E subregion products suggests the possibility that these molecules arose by gene duplication. Finally, the precise correlation between the Ia molecules recognized by M5/114 and the ability of this antibody to block T cell responses under Ir gene control strengthens the hypothesis that Ia antigens are Ir gene products. 相似文献

Tumor-bearing host (TBH) macrophages (M phi) exhibit immune dysfunction that is concomitant with phenotypic changes. We examined M phi subpopulations by changes in the expression of surface antigens Mac-1, -2, -3, and Ia on normal and TBH peritoneal and splenic M phi. M phi were double-labeled and analyzed by flow cytometry to observe multiple expression of surface antigens. Tumor growth alters the multiple expression of these M phi markers. Peritoneal and splenic M phi had different Mac+ and Mac+Ia+ population percentages. In TBH, peritoneal M phi had decreased percentages of Mac-1+2+, Mac-1+3+, Mac-2+3+, and Mac+Ia+ M phi. This decrease correlated with functional changes in TBH M phi. In contrast, there was an increase in Mac-2-Ia- TBH peritoneal M phi. Previously undiscovered Mac-1+2-3- and Mac-1-2-3+ populations were found. In contrast to peritoneal M phi, there was an increase in the percentage of Mac-1+2+, Mac-1+3+, and Mac-2+3+ splenic TBH M phi but, like peritoneal M phi, there was a decrease in the percentage of Mac+Ia+ M phi. Also, TBH splenic M phi showed a smaller but more uniform antigen density than normal host splenic M phi. Tumor growth modulated phenotypic alterations in peritoneal and splenic M phi subpopulations. Combined with earlier functional studies of M phi subpopulations, these data suggested a relationship between changes in M phi phenotype and tumor-induced dysfunction of M phi-modulated immune activity. 相似文献

Immunopathology of the lesion in chronic relapsing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in the mouse 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
To analyze immunopathologic events within the central nervous system (CNS) during various stages of actively induced chronic relapsing EAE in SJL/J mice, animals were sampled at various timepoints post inoculation (PI) and T cells, T-cell subsets, Ia+ cells and Ig+ cells, albumin, and Ig deposits were localized in frozen sections by immunocytochemical techniques. Furthermore, sections were stained for the demonstration of Ia antigen, myelin basic protein (MBP), and galactocerebroside (GC) on endothelial cells and astrocytes. During the acute phase of the disease, large numbers of all types of inflammatory cells studied (Lyt-1.2+, L3T4+, Lyt-2+, Ia+, Ig+) were randomly distributed throughout lesions, a finding similar to that described previously for acute EAE. A more distinct distribution pattern of infiltrating T cells was found during active chronic disease in that L3T4+ cells predominated within the CNS parenchyma, while Lyt-2+ cells were more numerous in meningeal and perivascular areas. During all chronic stages, a low-grade diffuse infiltration of the neuraxis by hematogenous cells was present. Ia and myelin antigens were detectable on some endothelial cells and astrocytes. Damage to the blood-brain barrier, as indicated by albumin and Ig deposits, was more extensive during the acute than during chronic stages of the disease. Taken in concert, the results further support the possibility of local antigen presentation on endothelial and astroglial cells and an essential involvement of helper (L3T4+) T cells in CNS lesion formation. These findings correlate well with events reported previously in acute and chronic multiple sclerosis lesions. 相似文献

All human monocytes have the capability of expressing HLA-DQ and HLA-DP molecules upon stimulation with interferon-gamma 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We have simultaneously studied expression of all three classes of human Ia (HLA-DR, DP, and DQ) on normal human B cells and monocytes (M phi) by using two-color immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Expression was investigated on freshly isolated cells and after incubation of cells for 48 and 96 hr in interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). All freshly isolated B cells express high levels of DR, DQ, and DP, and these levels are unchanged by incubation with IFN-gamma for 48 hr and 96 hr. In contrast, freshly isolated M phi are on the average 91% DR+, 32% DQ+, and 15% DP+. Incubation with IFN-gamma increases Ia expression on M phi to 98% DR+, 75% DQ+, and 58% DP+ at 48 hr, with virtually all cells becoming positive for all three Ia antigens at 96 hr. Furthermore, after the 96-hr incubation, antigen density increases 10-fold for DR, 15-fold for DQ, and 15-fold for DP in M phi to reach levels of expression comparable with B cells. These studies demonstrate that all peripheral blood monocytes have the capacity to become HLA-DQ and HLA-DP positive; IFN-gamma regulates expression of all three classes of human Ia in M phi; and IFN-gamma does not significantly modulate Ia expression in B cells. 相似文献

The role of suppressor macrophages (S-M phi) produced during generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) stimulated with allogeneic lymphocytes was investigated. Splenic CTL from C3H/He mice (H-2k) were generated by in vivo immunization and subsequent in vitro stimulation by splenic lymphocytes from C57B1/6 mice (H-2b) in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). In addition to in vitro standard 51Cr release assay, the CTL activity was mainly measured in vivo using the Winn assay against EL-4 thymoma cells in B6C3F1 mice (H-2b/k). In mice injected with CTL plus EL-4 cells survival rate was 20% compared with no survival of mice treated with normal spleen cells plus EL-4 cells. The antitumor activity of the CTL was significantly increased when immunized mice were treated with a 5 mg/kg ip dose of indomethacin at the time of immunization (80% survival). Macrophages were depleted from spleen cells of immunized mice by plastic adherence or carbonyl-iron treatment, replaced with an equivalent number of M phi from normal mice, and then introduced into a 5-day MLR. When the antitumor activity of the cells isolated from this MLR was measured in the Winn assay, 90-100% survival in EL-4-bearing mice was observed. In contrast, none of the mice inoculated with EL-4 alone and 20% of the mice that received CTL obtained after alloimmunization followed by MLR in addition to EL-4 survived. These results of CTL activity were confirmed by in vitro cytotoxicity tests. When the M phi isolated from spleens of immunized mice were analyzed for I-Jk antigen expression, a 2.5-fold increase was detected, compared with splenic M phi obtained from normal C3H/He mice. In contrast, Ia and I-Ak antigen expression was equivalent in M phi isolated from normal or immunized C3H/He mice. When immune spleen cells were treated with anti-I-Jk antiserum followed by complement and then, subjected to the MLR, the antitumor activity of CTL was significantly enhanced (80% survival). However, treatment of these cells with anti-I-Ak antiserum and complement did not alter CTL activity. These data suggest that the increase of S-M phi expressing I-Jk+ antigen to be induced during alloimmunization results in suppression of allospecific CTL-generation in MLR. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine if there is differential expression of the relevant strain-specific Ia antigen on endothelial and parenchymal inflammatory cells in the central nervous systems (CNS) of guinea pigs (GP) with acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Adult inbred GP were sensitized with GP spinal cord homogenate and complete Freund's adjuvant. Strain 13 GP and (2 x 13)F1 hybrids developed clinical disease within 2 to 3 wk after sensitization, whereas strain 2 GP did not, although all sensitized GP had CNS mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates. By using monoclonal antibodies to strain-specific and framework Ia epitopes with an immunoperoxidase technique, the distribution and amount of the strain 2 and strain 13 Ia were analyzed. Equivalent strain 2 and strain 13 Ia expression was found in normal tissues from F1 animals. Strain 2 and strain 13 GP sensitized for EAE had increased strain-specific Ia staining of CNS vessels and inflammatory cells over controls. However, F1 GP with EAE had markedly increased strain 13, but not strain 2, Ia on CNS parenchymal vessels and mononuclear inflammatory cells (p less than 0.001, for both). These results suggest for the first time that specific major histocompatibility complex gene products are selectively expressed on endothelial and inflammatory cells in situ in immune reactions in the target organ of individuals of heterogeneous immunogenetic composition. 相似文献

A mAb EBM11, raised against human macrophages [M phi] was found to detect a bovine M phi diameter-subpopulation. The Ag was strictly intracellular and was expressed in M phi only at a certain state of maturation. Its expression was regulated independently of the activation state of the cells, as revealed by treating M phi in vitro with bovine rIFN-alpha I1, IFN-gamma, or TNF-alpha, all potent M luminal diameter activators. Such treatment had no apparent effect on Ag expression. The Ag was present in 1 to 5% of peripheral blood leukocytes, i.e., up to 20% of circulating blood monocytes, in both normal noninfected cattle and in cattle persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhoea virus. Blood monocytes of the latter group were activated in vivo, but apparently did not reach a more mature state than found in noninfected animals. After an acute infection with bovine herpes virus type 1, the frequency and total number of EBM11+ cells decreased dramatically in inverse relationship to an equally significant increase in frequency and total number of circulating monocytes. In cryostat sections of normal tissues, the EBM11 mAb reacted with sinus M phi and M phi in germinal centers of lymphoid tissues, with alveolar M phi and liver Kupffer cells. In skin it reacted with few scattered M phi in the dermis, but not with epidermal Langerhans cells. This latter feature distinguishes the bovine system from the human. In virus-induced inflammatory processes in skin and keratinized epithelia EBM11+ cells constituted a subpopulation of the infiltrating M phi. The data obtained suggest that EBM11 mAb could be useful both for the elucidation of differentiation/maturation pathways of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage as well as for studies of M phi-virus interactions in virus infections. In either aspect cattle could provide a useful comparative model. 相似文献

The possibility that vascular endothelial cells (EC), like macrophages (M phi), can function as accessory cells necessary for mitogen- and antigen-induced T cell activation was examined. EC were enzymatically detached from the luminal surfaces of guinea pig aortas and then propagated in culture. Lymph node T lymphocytes were rigorously depleted of adherent cells, such that they completely lost the capacity to respond to mitogenic stimulation with phytohemagglutinin or concanavalin A. In this system, EC restored mitogen-induced T cell DNA synthesis as effectively as did M phi. This effect could not be explained by a facilitation of residual accessory cell activity within the responding T cell population, because EC restored mitogen responsiveness to T cells that had been treated with anti-Ia antibody and complement. Support of mitogen responsiveness could not be accounted for by secreted products of M phi or EC in the absence of intact accessory cells. In addition to the capacity to serve as fully sufficient accessory cells for the induction of mitogen-stimulated T cell proliferation, EC exerted a number of modulatory influences on T lymphocyte responses in cultures supported by M phi. When such cultures were supplemented with small numbers of EC, responses were dramatically augmented; larger numbers of EC resulted in marked suppression. At least part of these immunomodulatory effects could be accounted for by the activity of secreted products of EC. EC did not express detectable Ia antigens assayed either by indirect immunofluorescence, with the use of the fluorescence-activated cell sorter, or by complement-mediated cytotoxicity. Moreover, treating the EC population with anti-Ia antibody and complement had no effect on its capacity to support mitogen-induced T cell DNA synthesis. As would be expected from the lack of Ia antigen expression, EC were incapable of presenting antigen to primed T cells. They did, however, carry enough antigen into the cultures such that effective antigen presentation could occur when the cultures were supplemented with M phi that were syngeneic but not allogeneic to the responding T cells. Moreover, EC were capable of dramatically augmenting antigen-specific responses stimulated by antigen-pulsed M phi. There was no genetic restriction for this EC-mediated augmentation of antigen responsiveness. These results indicate that EC are capable of functioning as completely sufficient accessory cells for mitogen-induced T cell DNA synthesis and, in addition, are able to modulate ongoing M phi-supported T lymphocyte responses in both a positive and negative manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Role of macrophages as modulators but not as autonomous accessory cells in primary antibody response
S Komatsubara Y Hirayama K Inaba K Naito K Yoshida J Kawai S Muramatsu 《Cellular immunology》1985,95(2):288-296
The role of macrophages (M phi) in the in vitro primary antibody response of murine lymphocytes to sheep erythrocytes was investigated. Peritoneal M phi were activated to express Ia antigens either in vitro or in vivo. Nonactivated Ia- M phi were also examined. We observed that only Ia- M phi but also Ia+ M phi failed to trigger the antibody response, in contrast with splenic dendritic cells (DC) which served as potent and autonomous accessory cells, but that M phi modulated the level of response which was dependent primarily on the DC content of culture. The modulation appeared to incline to suppression rather than enhancement, when M phi were allowed to remain throughout the culture period for 4 days. A highly enhancing capacity of M phi, however, could be revealed by removing M phi 2 days after the initiation of culture, indicating that M phi exerted their suppressive effect more strongly in the late phase than in the early phase of in vitro antibody response. The modulatory activity seemed higher in Ia+ M phi than in Ia- M phi. 相似文献

Expression of Ia molecules by astrocytes during acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in the Lewis rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
One question in the pathogenesis of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) is whether antigen-presenting cells exist in the central nervous system which help induce the development of the disease. Since EAE is a delayed-type hypersensitivity condition, and since T cells require major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted antigen presentation, it is presumed that if antigen presentation occurs in CNS tissue, the presenting cell should express surface Ia molecules. Using immunofluorescent double labeling, the possibility that astrocytes express surface Ia during EAE evolution in the Lewis rat was examined. Very rare Ia-positive astrocytes were found (less than 0.1% of the astrocytes), but only in the spinal cords of clinically ill animals. In addition, endothelial cell Ia positivity was noted prior to the onset of clinical disease. The immunological significance of such low numbers of astrocytes expressing Ia during EAE is uncertain. 相似文献

The roles of Class II-restricted L3T4+ T cells and of accessory cells (AC) during the in vitro generation of Class I-restricted Lyt-2+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL) specific for a Class II-negative syngeneic tumor cell line, FBL, was examined. Treatment of responder FBL-immune spleen cells with alpha L3T4 plus complement before culture, as well as the direct addition of alpha L3T4 to cultures, diminished the generation of FBL-specific CTL. The contribution of L3T4+ cells could be completely replaced by the addition of exogenous cytokines. The data demonstrate that the optimal generation of FBL-specific Lyt-2+ CTL requires the presence of L3T4+ cells, presumably to provide necessary lymphokines. FBL-specific CTL could not be generated from purified FBL-immune T cells in the absence of AC. Syngeneic Ia+ macrophages (M phi), added at the initiation of culture, restored the response of purified T cells. Pretreatment of M phi with ammonium chloride or chloroquine, or the addition of monoclonal alpha I-Ab antibody at the initiation of culture, inhibited the ability of M phi to reconstitute the CTL response. Finally, the addition of exogenous helper factors could replace M phi and reconstitute the FBL-specific response of AC-depleted immune T cells. These results suggest that during the generation of Lyt-2+ CTL to a syngeneic tumor expressing only Class I MHC antigens, Ia+ AC are required to biochemically process antigen released from the tumor cells and present this modified antigen to Class II-restricted T helper cells. 相似文献

Dynamics of cytochemically distinct subpopulations of macrophages in elicited rat peritoneal exudates 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Qualitative and quantitative changes in rat peritoneal macrophage (M phi) subpopulations, differing in their ultrastructural peroxidatic staining characteristics were followed over the course of a thioglycollate (TG) broth-induced inflammatory response. In addition, selected functional features of the normal steady-state and 4-day TG-induced populations of M phi were compared. The steady-state population consisted primarily of M phi with peroxidatic staining limited to the nuclear envelope (NE) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER); such cells are called resident M phi. Within hours of TG injection, there was an influx of monocyte-derived exudate M phi, the number of which reached a maximum, by 24 hr. During the next 24 hr, the proportion of exudate M phi decreased with a concomitant increase in peroxidatic activity (PA)-negative M phi. These two cell types continued to predominate for the next 48 hr during which there was a gradual increase in resident M phi and so-called "exudate-resident" M phi, the latter of which exhibits both exudate and resident PA patterns. Thus, the 4-day TG-induced population consisted of four cytochemically distinct M phi subpopulations: approximately 50% PA-negative M phi, approximately 25% exudate M phi, approximately 15% resident M phi, and approximately 10% exudate-resident M phi. Differences in Fc receptors and complement receptors 1 and 3 were noted between the two populations in the presence of progenitors that give rise to colonies of M phi in liquid culture in response to murine-derived colony-stimulating factor 1. The implications of these results in regard to the origin(s) of M phi diversity are discussed. 相似文献

Accessory cell function of cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system isolated from mycobacterial granulomas 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Epithelioid cells from BCG-induced granulomas and macrophages from Mycobacterium leprae-induced granulomas were examined for their ability to act as accessory cells for T-cell proliferation to mitogen (Con A) and antigen (PPD). The granuloma cells were separated on a FACS using monoclonal antibody specific to guinea pig macrophages. Epithelioid cells (which are Ia negative) were able to support proliferation to Con A but not to antigen. Cultures containing Ia positive granuloma macrophages from M. leprae sensitized animals did not show responsiveness to Con A or to PPD. Oil-induced peritoneal exudate macrophages from BCG or M. leprae immunized animals were able to act as accessory cells for both mitogen and antigen proliferation. The nonresponsiveness of cultures containing epithelioid cells stimulated with PPD or M. leprae granuloma macrophages stimulated with Con A was not due to suboptimal or supraoptimal accessory cell:lymphocyte ratios. 相似文献

Role of macrophages as modulators but not as stimulators in primary mixed leukocyte reaction 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The role of macrophages (M phi) and that of splenic dendritic cells (DC) in the allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) in the mouse have been investigated. In contrast with the high stimulatory capacity of DC, we obtained no evidence in favor of the competence of M phi, whether Ia + or Ia-, as an autonomous stimulator of MLR. However, M phi were found to modulate the level of MLR. Thus, M phi amplified the low level MLR to low dose DC and apparently suppressed the high level MLR to high dose DC. Ia + M phi seemed superior to Ia- M phi in the MLR-enhancing effect. M phi syngeneic to the responder and those to the stimulator suggest that M phi are modulators of immune responses triggered through the mediation of DC. 相似文献
