T cell subsets regulating antibody responses to L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) in virgin and immunized nonresponder mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
T cell subsets from virgin and immunized mice, which are Ir gene controlled nonresponders to GAT, which regulate antibody responses to GAT have been characterized. Virgin nonresponder B10.Q B cells develop GAT-specific antibody responses to GAT, B10.Q GAT-M phi, and GAT-MBSA when cultured with virgin or GAT-primed Lyt-1+, I-J-, Qa1- B10.Q helper T cells. Virgin T cells are radiosensitive, whereas immune T cells are radioresistant (750 R); qualitatively identical helper activity is obtained with T cells from mice immunized with soluble GAT, B10.Q GAT-M phi, and GAT-MBSA. Responses to GAT and GAT-M phi are not observed when virgin or GAT-primed Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qal+ T cells are added to culture of virgin or GAT-primed Lyt-1+, I-J-, Qa1- helper T cells and virgin B cells; the GAT-specific response to GAT-MBSA is intact. The Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qa1+ T cells from mice primed with GAT, GAT-M phi, and GAT-MBSA were qualitatively identical in mediating this suppression. Virgin Lyt-2+ T cells have no suppressive activity alone or with virgin Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qa1+ T cells, whereas responses to GAT, GAT-M phi, and GAT-MBSA are suppressed in cultures of GAT-primed helper T cells containing GAT-primed Lyt-2+ T cells (with or without GAT-primed Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qa1+ T cells). Suppression of responses to GAT-MBSA in cultures of GAT-M phi-primed helper T cells requires both GAT-M phi-primed Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qa1+ T cells and Lyt-2+ T cells; the Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qa1+ T cells appear to function as inducer cells in this case. In cultures containing GAT-MBSA-primed helper T cells, either GAT-MBSA-primed Lyt-1+, I-J+, Qa1+ or Lyt-2+ T cells suppress responses to GAT and GAT-M phi; under no circumstances are responses to GAT-MBSA suppressed by GAT-MBSA-primed regulatory T cells. This regulation of antibody responses to GAT by suppressor T cells is discussed in the context of the involvement of suppressor T cells in responses to antigens under Ir control, and of the evidence that nonresponsiveness to GAT is not due to a defect in the T cell repertoire, but rather is due to an imbalance in the activation of suppressor vs helper T cells. 相似文献

Experiments have been carried out to examine the potential helper T cell repertoire specific for the random terpolymer GAT on responder, nonresponder, and (responder x nonresponder)F1 murine strains. The ability of GAT-MBSA immunized T cells to collaborate with DNP-specific primary and secondary B lymphocytes of each strain in response to the antigen DNP-GAT was tested with the splenic fragment culture system. The results of these experiments show that there are GAT-specific T lymphocytes in the responder, nonresponder, and F1 strains but that these 3 GAT-specific T cell populations differ in their collaborative potential. In sum, these findings present new evidence that the nonresponder status to the terpolymer GAT is due, in part, to a functional deletion of helper T cells capable of recognizing the antigen in the context of the nonresponder haplotype. Further, a new responsive phenotype is evidenced when F1 secondary B cells are stimulated in nonresponder GAT-MBSA-primed recipients. In this case, rather than the IgG1 responses observed in such strain combinations to other antigens such as DNP-Hy or DNP-Gl phi 9, only IgM responses were obtained. This new phenotype may be the result of GAT-specific suppression of isotype switching by B cells bearing the nonresponder cell surface alloantigens. 相似文献

T cell subsets that regulate antibody responses to L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) in mice that are Ir gene non-responders have been further characterized. We previously defined several T cell subsets in GAT-primed non-responder mice. The Lyt-2+ suppressor-effector T cells suppress responses to GAT and GAT complexed to methylated BSA (GAT-MBSA). The Lyt-1+ cell population is complex and can be separated into I-J- Th cells, which support responses to GAT and GAT-MBSA. After priming, the Lyt-1+, I-J+ cell population contains suppressor-inducer cells that activate precursors of suppressor-effector cells to suppress responses to GAT and GAT-MBSA as well as Ts cells that directly inhibit responses to GAT but not GAT-MBSA. By contrast, the Lyt-1+ cells from virgin mice contain only cells that directly suppress responses to GAT but not GAT-MBSA. The major question addressed in the present studies was whether the Lyt-1+, I-J+ Ts cells in virgin and primed mice and the suppressor-inducer cells in GAT-primed mice were functionally and serologically distinct subsets. The studies used mAb and panning procedures to separate cell populations and inhibition of PFC cell responses to functionally define the activity of the cell populations. We used the following two mAb that were raised by immunizing rats with GAT-specific suppressor factors: 1248A4.10 (known to react with suppressor-inducer cells) and 1248A4.3, another reagent from the same fusion. Lyt-1+ cells from virgin spleens contained Ts cells that were A4.10-, A4.3+ and no suppressor-inducer T cells, whereas Lyt-1+ cells from GAT-primed spleens contained Ts cells that were A4.10-, A4.3+ as well as A4.10+, A4.3- suppressor-inducer cells. Thus, the Lyt1+, I-J+ cell subset can be divided into two functionally and serologically distinct subsets, direct Ts cells (1248A4.3+), which suppress responses to GAT but not GAT-MBSA, and GAT-primed suppressor-inducer T cells (1248A4.10+). 相似文献

Immunization of mice with the ABA-GAT conjugate stimulates GAT-specific T helper cells in GAT-responder animals and ABA-specific helpers in nonresponders. Unexpectedly, immunization of (responder X nonresponder) F1 mice, which have the GAT-responder phenotype, leads to the recruitment of both ABA- and GAT-specific clones of T helper lymphocytes. The GAT-reactive population is restricted to the haplotype of the responder parent (Iak), whereas ABA-specific T cells are mostly restricted to the nonresponder one (Ias). This is demonstrated by the ability of monoclonal antibodies to parental la antigens to inhibit T cell proliferation to GAT or ABA-Tyr in vitro. Consistently, ABA-GAT-primed F1 T cells can only activate nonresponder B cells to proliferate in the presence of ABA-Tyr and responder B lymphocytes in the presence of GAT. Furthermore, F1 T cells seem to recognize both ABA and GAT epitopes only in association with molecules encoded by the I-A subregion. Analysis of ABA-specific F1 T cell lines generated by in vitro stimulation with ABA-Tyr or ABA-GAT demonstrates a competition between GAT- and ABA-specific T cells present in the hybrid T cell repertoire and restricted to the same parental I-Ak molecule. The results indicate that F1 macrophages can present both ABA and GAT epitopes to T cells in association with the two parental and hybrid Ia determinants. It seems unlikely that the absence of GAT-specific T cells restricted to the nonresponder I-A in the F1 is due to suppressor T cells. Thus, the competition model that we propose, to explain the selective F1 T cell response to ABA-GAT, leads us to believe that GAT nonresponder animals may lack clones capable of recognizing, with a high affinity, I-As + GAT. 相似文献

T cell subsets in (responder x nonresponder)F1 mice regulating antibody responses to L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine (GAT) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Immune responses to GAT are controlled by H-2-linked Ir genes; soluble GAT stimulates antibody responses in responder mice (H-2b) but not in nonresponder mice (H-2q). In nonresponder mice, soluble GAT stimulates suppressor T cells that preempt function of helper T cells. After immunization with soluble GAT, spleen cells from (responder x nonresponder: H-2b X H-2q)F1 mice develop antibody responses to responder H-2b GAT-M phi but not to nonresponder H-2q GAT-M phi. This failure of immune F1 spleen cells to respond is due to an active suppressor T cell mechanism that is activated by H-2q, but not H-2b, GAT-M phi and involves two regulatory T cell subsets. Suppressor-inducer T cells are immune radiosensitive Lyt-1 +2-, I-A-, I-J+, Qa-1+ cells. Suppressor-effector T cells can be derived from virgin or immune spleens and are radiosensitive Lyt-1-2+, I-A-, I-J+, Qa-1+ cells. This suppressor mechanism can suppress responses of virgin or immune F1 helper T cells and B cells. Helper T cells specific for H-2b GAT-M phi are easily detected in F1 mice after immunization with soluble GAT; helper T cells specific for H-2q GAT-M phi are demonstrated after elimination of the suppressor-inducer and -effector cells. These helper T cells are radioresistant Lyt-1+2-, I-A+, I-J-, Qa-1- cells. These data indicate that the Ir gene defect in responses to GAT is not due to a failure of nonresponder M phi to present GAT and most likely is not due to a defective T cell repertoire, because the relevant helper T cells are primed in F1 mice by soluble GAT and can be demonstrated when suppressor cells are removed. These data are discussed in the context of mechanisms for expression of Ir gene function in responses to GAT, especially the balance between stimulation of helper vs suppressor T cells. 相似文献

The immune response to the synthetic terpolymer GAT is controlled by MHC-linked Ir gene(s). We show in this paper that antigen-presenting cells and T cells from mice belonging to two nonresponder strains (SJL and DBA/1) can present and recognize GAT, respectively. This has been measured with a T cell proliferation assay of GAT-primed lymph node cells. In order to detect T cell proliferation among GAT-primed lymph node cells from DBA/1 mice, it is necessary to treat the cells with monoclonal anti-Lyt-2 antibodies and complement (C) before the assay. These conclusions were further verified with SJL mice, when a T cell line derived from LN cells was used. We have shown that after immunization with GAT, specific T helper cells can be generated in the lymph nodes of SJL mice but not in the lymph nodes of DBA/1 mice. Furthermore, GAT-specific T helper cells can be detected in the spleen of SJL mice after immunizations with GAT, provided these spleen cells are pretreated with monoclonal anti-Lyt-2 antibodies + C or mild irradiation. Together, these results support the general idea that nonresponsiveness can be explained by a regulatory imbalance rather than by discrete cellular "defects." 相似文献

We studied the effects of T cell extracts from adult responder BALB/c mice tolerized with poly(Glu60Ala30Tyr10) (GAT)-coupled syngeneic spleen cells (GAT-SP) on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), T cell-proliferative (Tprlf), and plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses. Adult responder mice injected i.v. with GAT-SP develop Lyt-1-2+ suppressor T cells (Ts), which suppress the induction of GAT-specific DTH and PFC, but not Tprlf responses. Sonicates from these Ts contain an afferent-acting, soluble factor(s) (GAT-TsFdh) that specifically suppresses the same responses as the intact Ts (i.e., DTH and PFC, but not Tprlf). Immunosorbent chromatography studies were employed to determine the molecular nature of the suppressive material active on both cellular and humoral responses. In both assay systems, GAT-TsFdh was found to bear determinants encoded by the I subregion of the H-2 complex and a receptor(s) for GAT. BALB/c-derived GAT-TsFdh suppressed the induction of GAT DTH in syngeneic BALB/c and H-2-compatible B10.D2, but not in allogeneic C57BL/6 or CBA/Cum, suggesting a possible H-2 restriction in the suppression. It was also shown that one target of functional regulation by GAT-TsFdh is the T helper cell for DTH responses (DTH-Th). The results suggest that similar Ts and TsF regulate humoral and cell-mediated responses, perhaps by affecting a target common to both pathways (e.g., the T helper cell). The resistance of Tprlf responses to suppression by GAT-TsFdh indicates that the effector DTH-Th target is not a major component of the proliferative response. These data are discussed with respect to GAT-specific TsF-regulating PFC responses, which have been identified in nonresponders and in responders tolerized as neonates with GAT. 相似文献

We examined multiple genetically regulated Immoral and cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses to poly(glu60ala30tyr10) (GAT) using a panel of mouse strains. We show that assignment of responder/nonresponder status depends upon the assay method. In addition, two distinct categories of nonresponder mice were found: (1) those which are unresponsive by all parameters tested (H-2

haplotypes) and (2) those which are partially nonresponsive [H-2
bm12 mutant strain—a low/nonresponder by splenic plaque-forming cell (PFC) and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses, but exhibits B6 parental levels of high GAT-specific T-cell proliferation (Tprlf) and interleukin-2 production]. The distinction between these two nonresponder types was confirmed by complementation tests in which significant GAT-specific PFC and DTH responses were seen in (H-2

)F1 hybrids. Suppressor T cells (Ts) also play a selective role in nonresponsiveness to GAT. Cyclophosphamide treatment of nonresponders (to eliminate Ts activity) as well as immunization with GAT coupled to the immunogenic carrier MBSA result in the development of GAT-specific humoral, but not CMI responses. Our results indicate that the T cell is the cellular site of Ir gene expression and that Tprlf responses do not correlate with functional helper T-cell activity and suggest distinct, multi-step Th/Ts regulatory pathways in the development of humoral and CMI effector functions. 相似文献

The capacity of responder and nonresponder strains of mice to generate suppressor cells and factors to two antigens under MHC linked Ir gene control was investigated. Eight different H-2 types (H-2b,d,f,k,p,q,r,s) as well as seven independently derived strains (B10, BALB/c, CBA/Ca, A/St, DBA/2, P/J, SJL) were tested, and all yielded suppressor factor (SF) to (T,G)-A--L and GAT. This indicated that the genetic control of SF production was different from that of helper cell induction. Unlike previous reports of GAT suppressor extracts that GAT-specific supressor factors acted equally on both responder and nonresponder strains. As reported earlier with in vitro induced protein- (KLH) specific suppressor factors, GAT and (T,G)-A--L specific suppressor factors failed to show any genetic restriction in their function. The implications of these results for the general mechanism of Ir gene control are discussed. 相似文献

Primary IgM antibody responses to synthetic linear copolymers of L-glutamic acid, L-tyrosine, and L-alanine were investigated. The appearance of primary IgM anti-GAT antibodies was detected in BALB/c mice by using a solid phase radioimmunoassay (SPRIA) procedure. The finding was verified for GAT in responder mice and GAT-MBSA and GT-MBSA in nonresponder mice in an indirect plaque forming cell (PFC) assay by using a rabbit antiserum directed against the mulambda myeloma protein, MOPC 104E. Facilitated IgM PFC could be inhibited by a purified muK myeloma protein, TEPC 183. Maximal facilitated IgM plaque response was found to precede the IgG response by several days. A direct plaque assay was developed for the detection of IgM anti-GAT plaques using poly-L-lysine (PLL) to couple GAT to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC). GAT-SRBC coupled by the PLL method optimally couple 4 to 5 times less antigen to the indicator cell surface than does the CrCl3-coupling method routinely employed in our laboratory. These findings were extended to a conventional antigen, chicken gamma globulin (CgammaG). We found that a less dense epitope coat on the indicator cell surface favors detection of direct IgM PFC, whereas a more densely coated indicator cell favors the detection of facilitated IgM and IgG PFC responses. 相似文献

Athymic nude mice implanted with F1 thymus glands were used to investigate genetic restrictions regulating T cell-macrophage (M phi) interactions in the development of antibody responses to GAT. Spleen cells from conventional mice developed comparable primary plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses when stimulated by syngeneic and allogeneic GAT-M phi. However, spleen cells from strain A nude mice implanted with (A X B)F1 thymus glands were tolerant of strain B alloantigens and developed GAT-specific PFC responses to strain A GAT-M phi and allogeneic strain C GAT-M phi, but failed to respond to strain B GAT-M phi. The lack of primary GAT-specific PFC responses by spleen cells from (A X B)thy----A nude mice stimulated by strain B GAT-M phi was not due to detectable suppressor mechanisms. However, an allogeneic effect stimulated by H-2- or non-H-2-disparate GAT-pulsed or unpulsed M phi was able to overcome the inability of spleen cells from (A X B)F1 thy----A nude mice to respond to strain B GAT-M phi. Furthermore, the inability to respond to strain B GAT-M phi was overcome by the addition of supernatant fluids from independent cultures of H-2-disparate cells. These results 1) demonstrate that T cells from A nude mice implanted with (A X B)F1 thymus glands did not recognize nominal antigen in the context of B MHC antigens, and 2) suggested that the T cell repertoire was altered in strain A nude mice implanted with (A X B)F1 thymus glands, such that T cells that could recognize GAT in association with strain B MHC antigens were functionally deleted. 相似文献

Spleen cells from C57BL/6 and B6.C-H-2bm12 mice, both responder strains to GAT, differ in their ability to be suppressed by the monoclonal I-A-restricted, nonantigen-specific, but haplotype-specific suppressor factor, TsF-H, from the hybridoma 266A4.5. Whereas GAT-specific responses by C57BL/6 spleen cells are susceptible to TsF-H-mediated suppression, responses by bm12 spleen cells are nonsuppressible under the same conditions. Responses of both C57BL/6 and bm12 spleen cells are suppressed by monoclonal GAT-specific suppressor factors. The inability of TsF-H to suppress responses by the bm12 spleen cells presumably reflects the effects of the mutation in the beta-chain of the I-A antigen in this strain on the required I-A restriction between TsF-H and target cell for manifestation of suppressive activity. The data are discussed in terms of involvement of I-A or recognition of I-A in mediating suppression. 相似文献

Immunization of GAT non-responders with ABA-GAT leads to the activation of ABA-specific T cells. These hapten specific T cells are Lyt-1+2- helper cells capable of inducing anti-ABA antibody responses in vivo or B cell activation in vitro. However, their activation does not modify the GAT non-responder phenotype. Immunization of GAT responder mice with ABA-GAT activates GAT-specific T cells, which can help anti-ABA and anti-GAT antibody responses. Since the responder and non-responder strains used in these experiments differ only in the alleles present in the I region, the results suggest that the selective activation of hapten- or carrier-specific T cells is controlled by I region genes. Yet sensitization of the two strains with ABA-KLH or ABA-Tyr induces KLH-specific or ABA-specific T cells, respectively. This provides further evidence that the use of an immunogenic carrier prevents the expression of the hapten-specific T cell clones present in the repertoire of both responder and non-responder animals. Macrophages from responder animals pulsed with ABA-GAT can present ABA and GAT determinants to T cells. Thus, the absence of ABA-specific T cells in responders primed with ABA-GAT and their presence in GAT non-responders reflects a competition between hapten- and carrier-specific T cells and not an epitope selection by macrophages. We discuss the significance of the results in terms of Ir genes determining the self-plus-antigen-specific T cell repertoire rather than controlling antigen presentation by macrophages. 相似文献

Considerable information concerning the serology and biochemistry of antigen-specific, T cell-derived suppressor factors has been obtained with the use of T cell hybridomas as a source of homogeneous material. Similarly, knowledge of helper T cell products and receptors is accumulating from studies of helper T cell clones and hybridomas. Our strategy for studying the mechanisms by which suppressor factors inhibit responses was to determine whether monoclonal suppressor factors could inhibit antibody responses specific for L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) in cultures containing unprimed splenic B cells, macrophages, and GAT-specific T cell clones as a source of helper activity. The MHC-restricted, two chain suppressor factors, GAT-TsF2, inhibited these responses if the helper T cell clones and suppressor factor were derived from H-2-compatible mice. Furthermore, responses were inhibited by briefly pulsing T cell clones with GAT-TsF2 in the presence of GAT, indicating that suppressor factors need not be present continuously. In addition, helper T cell clones adsorbed syngeneic, but not allogeneic, GAT-TsF2 in the presence of GAT. Adsorption also requires a shared antigenic specificity between the H-2b-derived helper T cells and TsF2 factor. Thus, helper T cells can serve as the cellular target of antigen-specific, MHC-restricted GAT-TsF2, and cloned helper T cells can be used as a homogeneous target population for analysis of the molecular mechanisms of T cell suppression. 相似文献

Dissection of the poly(glu60ala30tyr10) (GAT)-specific T-cell repertoire in H-21
k mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We examined the antigen recognition of the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of 45 poly(glu60 ala30 tyr10) (GAT)-reactive T-cell clones isolated by limiting dilution cloning of a pool of in vivo-primed and in vitro-restimulated A.TL lymph-node T cells. Each clone expressed the Thy-1.2+, Lyt-1+, Lyt-2-, LFA-1+, Ia-, and H-2Dd+ cell-surface phenotype and exhibited strict specificity for GAT on syngeneic antigen-presenting cells (APCs). The monitoring of the proliferative responses of these clones in the presence or absence of GAT, using APCs from strains with 11 independent H-2 haplotypes, revealed several distinct specificity patterns: (i) most (31 of 45, 73%) T-cell clones recognized GAT in a self-I-Ak-restricted manner; (ii) other alloreactive clones (5 of 45, 11%) were stimulated to proliferate, irrespective of the presence of GAT, in response to allodeterminants expressed on H-2s, H-2d, H-2f or H-2u spleen cells; (iii) a third T-cell clone subset (4 of 45, 9%) was activated by GAT in the context of not only self-I-Ak but also nonself restriction Ia determinants; and (iv) three clones (7%) exhibited a triple specificity, i.e., they recognized GAT in the context of self and nonself Ia determinants and were alloreactive. One of the latter clones responded to GAT in an apparently non-MHC-restricted manner and recognized an I-Ab allodeterminant. These data provide direct evidence that the antigen-specific and alloreactive T-cell repertoires overlap and that the self-MHC restriction of GAT-specific T-cell responses is not absolute in A.TL mice. 相似文献

The activity of suppressor T cells has been demonstrated in almost every phase of the immune response. These regulatory cells modulate both humoral and cell-mediated immunity utilizing antigen-specific and nonspecific mechanisms. For comparative purposes two murine models are described, the nonspecific suppressor T cell stimulated by the mitogen concanavalin A and the antigen-specific suppressor T cell stimulated by injection of the synthetic terpolymer acid 60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) in nonresponder mice. These two T cells are similar to expression of Ly alloantigens, ability to inhibit antibody responses, and the mediation of suppression, at least in part, by soluble products. However, differences in radio-resistance and antigenic specificity of the suppressor T cells, as well as differences in molecular characteristics of the soluble factors and their targets suggest that these T cells regulate the immune response by different mechanisms. The relationship of these two suppressor T cells to other nonspecific and antigen-specific suppressor T cells is discussed. 相似文献

The random synthetic copolymer of L-glutamic acid50-L-tyrosine50 (GT) fails to elicit a GT-specific antibody response in all inbred strains of mice tested. Preimmunization with GT specifically inhibits a GT-MBSA response in certain H2d,k,s, but not other, H-2a,b,q, nonresponder mice. This unresponsiveness is mediated by GT-specific suppressor T cells. Extracts prepared from lymphoid cells of GT-primed suppressor haplotype mice inhibit the development of primary GT-specific antibody responses to GT-MBSA in normal syngeneic mice. Nonsuppressor haplotype mice do not produce GT-specific suppressor factor. The GT-suppressive extract has affinity for antigen and a m.w. of less than 50,000 daltons, thus, resembling antigen-specific immunosuppressive factors already described. However, the GT-suppressive extract does not appear to have H-2 restrictions since it works across allogeneic barriers. Evidence is presented that two genes are required for factor-mediated suppression. 相似文献

Fusion of spleen cells from rats hyperimmunized with T cell hybridoma derived GAT-specific TsF1 or TsF2 suppressor T cell factors has resulted in the generation of hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies reactive with the appropriate GAT-TsF used for immunization, and in several cases, reactive with other GAT-TsF1 and TsF2. The monoclonal anti-TsF1 antibodies are capable of modulating in vitro GAT-specific PFC response in a GAT-specific manner; some suppress responses to GAT directly, whereas others reverse GAT-TsF1-mediated suppression of responses. The monoclonal anti-TsF2 antibodies all reverse suppression but are reactive with combinatorial determinants, I-J+ chains or antigen-binding chains of the GAT-TsF2. The data are discussed in terms of the nature of the determinants recognized by these antibodies as well as the potential uses of these reagents for studying the suppressor T cell pathway and potential relationships between Ts1, Ts2, and T helper cells. 相似文献

Genetic regulation of the immune response to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). V. T cell proliferative response and cellular interactions 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We previously demonstrated that in vivo antibody production to HBsAg in the mouse is regulated by at least two immune response (Ir) genes mapping in the I-A (HBs-Ir-1) and I-C (HBs-Ir-2) subregions of the H-2 locus. To confirm that H-2-linked Ir genes regulate the immune response to HBsAg at the T cell level and to determine if the same Ir genes function in T cell activation as in B cell activation, the HBsAg-specific T cell responses of H-2 congenic and intra-H-2 recombinant strains were analyzed. HBsAg-specific T cell proliferation, IL 2 production, and the surface marker phenotype of the proliferating T cells were evaluated. Additionally, T cell-antigen-presenting cell (APC) interactions were examined with respect to genetic restriction and the role of Ia molecules in HBsAg presentation. The HBsAg-specific T cell proliferative responses of H-2 congenic and intra-H-2 recombinant strains generally paralleled in vivo anti-HBs production in terms of the Ir genes involved, the hierarchy of responses status among H-2 haplotypes, antigen specificity, and kinetics. However, the correlation was not absolute in that several strains capable of producing group-specific anti-HBs in vivo did not demonstrate a group-specific T cell proliferative response to HBsAg. The proliferative responses to subtype- and group-specific determinants of HBsAg were mediated by Thy-1+, Lyt-1+2- T cells, and a possible suppressive role for Lyt-1-2+ T cells was observed. In addition to T cell proliferation, HBsAg-specific T cell activation could be measured in terms of IL 2 production, because anti-HBs responder but not nonresponder HBs-Ag-primed T cells quantitatively produced Il 2 in vitro. Finally, the T cell proliferative response to HBsAg was APC dependent and genetically restricted in that responder but not nonresponder parental APC could reconstitute the T cell response of (responder X nonresponder)F1 mice, and Ia molecules encoded in both the I-A and I-E subregion are involved in HBsAg-presenting cell function. 相似文献

The roles of helper and suppressor T cells in the development and expression of antibody responses to GAT were studied in (responder X responder)F1 mice immunized with parental GAT-M phi. Spleen cells from (B10 X B10.D2)F1 mice primed in vivo with B10 or B10.D2 GAT-M phi developed secondary in vitro plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses only when stimulated by GAT-M phi syngeneic with the GAT-M phi used for in vivo priming. By contrast, virgin F1 spleen cells developed comparable primary PFC responses to both parental GAT-M phi Co-culture of T cells from (B10 X B10.D2)F1 mice primed in vivo by B10 GAT-M phi with virgin (B10 X B10.D2)F1 spleen cells demonstrated the presence of suppressor cells that inhibited the primary response of virgin spleen cells stimulated by B10.D2 GAT-M phi. Spleen cells from (B10 X B10.D2)F1 mice primed in vivo with B10.D2 GAT-M phi had suppressor T cells that suppressed primary responses stimulated by B10 GAT-M phi. The suppressor T cell mechanism was composed of at least two regulatory T cell subsets. Suppressor-inducer T cells were Lyt-2-, I-J+ and must be derived from immune spleen cells. Suppressor-effector T cells can be derived from virgin or immune spleens and were Lyt-2+ cells. When the suppressor mechanism was disabled by treatment with 1000 rad gamma irradiation or removal of Lyt-2+ cells, Lyt-2-helper T cells from (B10 X B10.D2)F1 mice primed with B10 GAT-M phi provided radioresistant help to virgin F1 B cells stimulated by B10 but not B10.D2 GAT-M phi. Suppressor inducer Lyt-2-,I-J+ cells from B10 GAT-M phi-primed (B10 X B10.D2)F1 mice were separated from the primed Lyt-2-,I-J-helper T cells. In the presence of Lyt-2+ suppressor effector cells, the Lyt-2-,I-J+ suppressor-inducer suppressed the primary response of virgin spleen or virgin T plus B cells stimulated by both B10 and B10.D2 GAT-M phi. Therefore, suppressor T cells were able to suppress primary but not secondary GAT-specific PFC responses stimulated by either parental GAT-M phi. These results showed that immunization of (responder X responder)F1 mice with parental GAT-M phi results in the development of antigen-specific helper and suppressor T cells. The primed helper T cells were radioresistant and were genetically restricted to interact with GAT in association with the major histocompatibility complex antigens of the M phi used for in vivo priming.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献
