We have utilized the U937 macrophage cell line as a model system for analysis of human mononuclear phagocyte (MNP) differentiation. In addition to expressing membrane antigens shared with other MNP, U937 possesses an intrinsic ability to become “activated” upon exposure to lymphokines. A heteroantiserum produced against lymphokine-stimulated U937 (anti-U937L) was utilized to detect acquired or inducible membrane antigens expressed on “activated” U937. Absorption of this antiserum to remove antibodies to nonstimulated U937 (U937N) did not remove the reactivity of anti-U937L/U937N to lymphokine-stimulated U937 as determined by an 125I-protein A radioimmunoassay. The lymphokine-inducible antigens were not detectable on resident, human peritoneal macrophages. In addition to expression of lymphokine-inducible antigens, treated U937 cells displayed alterations in both morphology and functional activity (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity). Kinetic analysis of lymphokine-stimulated U937 indicated that antigen expression occurred as early as 1–2 hr after lymphokine exposure, plateauing at 16–18 hr of stimulation. The inducible antigens were susceptible to proteolytic degradation and expression was blocked by inhibitors of protein synthesis. Inducible antigens detectable by anti-U937L/U937N did not result from the expression of cryptic or buried membrane antigens. Thus, the U937 cell line can be utilized for production of antibodies useful in analysis of membrane antigen expression during differentiation within the MNP system. 相似文献

Two “new” precipitin bands (antigens) detected by the immunodiffusion test were demon strated in leaf extracts of tobacco inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Pseudomonas tabaci or treated with mercuric chloride, sodium azide or sodium hypochlorite. One of the precipitin bands was stronger, than the other, These antigens were also detected in the upper, non-infected leaves of tobacco plants when the lower leaves were locally stressed (necrotized) either by TMV or by chemical injury. The “new” antigens formed in the upper leaves were detected even if the TMV-inoculated lower leaves were removed one day after inoculation. The “new” antigens were identical both in the lower and upper leaves and their induction was independent from the stress whether pathogenic or chemical. A coincidence exists between the appearance of “new” antigens and acquired resistance, but this does not mean necessarily a cause-and-effect relationship between the two phenomena. Our experiments indicate that the induction of the synthesis of “new” stress proteins in tobacco is aspecific and the proteins formed are related to the aspecific stress itself rather than to pathogenesis. 相似文献

Based on the different characteristics of “pure” B-lymphocyte tolerance induction by polymeric and nonpolymeric antigens, it is proposed that there are two fundamentally distinct mechanisms by which mature B cells are tolerized: Polymeric antigens inhibit the expression of surface receptors irrespective of surface Ig isotype, whereas nonpolymeric antigens act by an unknown mechanism in which surface IgD is critically important in rendering cells “resistant” to tolerance induction. Further experiments to validate this hypothesis are highlighted. 相似文献

It is shown that B-cell-specific surface antigens are conserved on lymphocytes from phylogenetically distant primate species. Characterization of the expression of those antigens on the surface of simian B lymphocytes has led to two observations with important implications for human B-cell physiology. First, lectin stimulation in vitro or antigen stimulation in situ in lymph nodes drives a population of human B lymphocytes to express the B2 but not the B1 antigen on its surface. Second, under pathologic circumstances, this activated B cell can be found in the peripheral blood of monkeys. Thus, the “B2 only” cell defines an activated B lymphocyte whose presence may provide useful diagnostic information concerning pathologic processes. 相似文献

In order to explain the potent antiglucocorticoid activity of RU 38486 and the absence of agonist effect in spite of its very strong interaction with the cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor (GR), we investigated the compound's ability to promote GR “activation” and nuclear translocation. We have compared the dissociation-rates of the “non-activated” (molybdate stabilized) and of the “activated” (25°C pre-heated) GR complexes formed either with [3H]RU 38486 or with different tritiated glucocorticoid agonists. While agonists dissociated more slowly from the “activated” than from the “non-activated” complex, RU 38486 dissociated much faster from the “activated” than from the “native” receptor. This difference of activation was confirmed in a DNA-cellulose binding assay. The affinity of the “activated” RU 38486-GR complex for DNA was much lower than that of the dexamethasone-GR complex. Finally, the in vitro nuclear uptake of [3H]RU 38486 was compared with that of [3H]dexamethasone after incubation with thymus minces at 25 or 37°C. A very weak or nearly undetectable level of specific uptake of [3H]RU 38486 was observed in purified nuclei, whatever the concentration or the time of incubation used. These observations suggest that while glucocorticoid agonists form with the non-activated receptor a complex able to be activated into a more stable form (lower k−1), RU 38486 interacts strongly with the non-activated receptor (impeding the binding of DM) but the complex is “transformed” by heat to a less stable form (higher k−1), unable to translocate properly into the nucleus in order to trigger a glucocorticoid response. 相似文献

Cell interaction requirements for generation of primary IgM, IgG and IgA responses to heterologous erythrocytes in mouse spleen cell cultures have been investigated. Interactions among antigen, macrophages, “helper” thymus-derived cells and precursors of antibody-producing cells are required and are facilitated by incubation of cultures on a rocking platform. Macrophages are required in the cultures for 48 hr for generation of optimal IgM, IgG and IgA responses. Intact erythrocyte antigen is necessary for 48 hr for development of optimal IgM responses, and for 72 hr for optimal IgG and IgA responses. Precursors of IgM antibody-producing cells appear to be “activated” by 48 hr incubation; precursors of IgG and IgA antibody-producing cells appear to be “activated” by 72 hr. These “activated” precursor cells can subsequently undergo final cycles of cell division and differentiate into mature antibody producing cells when incubated stationary in the presence of very few macrophages and in the absence of intact erythrocyte antigen. 相似文献

Memory to H2 determinants was studied with an adoptive transfer system using a population of H2-activated blast T cells (T.TDL) obtained from thoracic duct lymph of irradiated F1 hybrid mice injected with parental strain T cells. CBA T.TDL activated either to DBA/2 or C57BL determinants were transferred to syngeneic “B” mice. Thoracic duct lymphocytes (TDL) were obtained from the recipients 4–6 weeks later and tested for their capacity to produce (a) a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, (b) a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) (measured by an in vivo technique) and (c) allograft rejection (suppression of the growth of allogeneic tumour cells in vivo). Control experiments involved testing the function of TDL obtained from “B” mice preinjected with TDL or no cells.TDL from “B” mice injected with TDL (passaged TDL) gave strong MLR and GVH reactions to both DBA/2 and C57BL determinants. Passaged T.TDL activated to C57BL antigens gave intermediate MLR and GVH reactions to the specific (C57BL) determinants but only very low responses to third-party (DBA/2) determinants; reciprocal results were obtained with passaged T.TDL activated to DBA/2 determinants. TDL from “B” mice given no cells failed to respond to either set of determinants.Since the responses by the passaged T.TDL did not exceed those by passaged TDL there was no evidence that adoptive transfer of T.TDL had conferred to the recipients a state of memory to either MLR or GVH determinants. Adoptive transfer did, however, lead to qualitative changes in the properties of T.TDL since, before transfer, they were unable to evoke GVH reactions or produce an MLR of normal kinetics.Passaged T.TDL were far superior to passaged TDL at suppressing the growth of allogeneic tumour cells. The protection was specific since protection against DBA/2 tumour cells was, cell for cell, 5–10 fold more effective with passaged T.TDL activated to DBA/2 determinants than with cells activated to C57BL determinants. No protection was observed with cells treated with anti-θ serum. The protective cells appeared to be precursors of effector cells rather than effector cells per se since they failed to lyse the tumour cells in vitro. These data suggest therefore that the descendants of T.TDL which survived after transfer to “B” mice were highly enriched in long-lived recirculating T lymphocytes reactive to determinants expressed by specific tumour allografts. 相似文献

Other investigators have previously shown that normal nonimmune lymphoid cells, after incubation with “Immune” RNA, will release MIF when these cells are incubated with the specific antigen used to immunize the RNA donor. This conversion can be detected with the macrophage migration inhibition assay. These observations have been confirmed in a system involving the transfer of immune response to tumor associated antigens with syngeneic “Immune” RNA. Syngeneic “Immune” RNA was extracted from the spleens of Fischer 344/N rats bearing growing transplants of one or another of two syngeneic chemically induced sarcomas. Normal, nonimmune Fischer 344/N spleen cells were incubated with these RNA preparations. When these RNA-incubated spleen cells were exposed to solubilized antigens from that particular tumor used to immunize the RNA donor, MIF was released. RNAse treatment of the “Immune” RNA abrogated the response, while DNAse or pronase treatment did not. 相似文献

Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, a methane forming archaebacterium, grows autotrophically by synthesizing activated acetic acid from 2 CO2. It is demonstrated in vitro that the methyl group of acetate is derived from methenyl tetrahydromethanopterin, which is known to be a one-carbon carrying coenzyme in CO2 reduction to methane. The direct acetate precursors are suggested to be methyl tetrahydromethanopterin (“activated methanol”) and “activated carbon monoxide”. 相似文献

Human dialyzable transfer factor (TF) was found capable of inducing in vivo (skin test) and in vitro blastogenesis) cellular immunity in gnotobiotic nonhuman primates. Because the animals were gnotobiotic (germ-free) and had not been skin tested previously, these data support the hypothesis that induction of cell-mediated immunity in recipients of TF does not require a “priming” exposure to specific and/or cross-reacting antigens, and that this induction may be due to an antigen-specific informational effect of TF.In addition, these results support the antigenic specificity of TF, in that recipient primates developed cellular reactivity only against donor “positive” but not against donor “negative” antigens. 相似文献

We have analyzed the expression of the major AgB locus antigens on the parenchymal cell components of rat kidney and heart using (a) heterologous antisera raised against isolated molecules and (b) conventional alloantisera, directed to the serologically detectable AgB and Ia allodeterminants. A modified Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I rosette assay, enabling the characterization of the rosette-forming cell type from stained cytocentrifuged cell smears, was used. The AgB and Ia antigens were detected by both types of antisera on the “passenger” cells of either organ: the anti-Ia reacted especially strongly with a fraction of “passenger” lymphocytes, and anti-AgB also with the “passenger” erythrocytes. All kidney parenchymal components were nearly devoid of both AgB and Ia antigens: only a weak reaction was observed with the vascular endothelial, tubular, or glomerular cells after treatment of either type of antiserum. The heart endothelial cells expressed the AgB and probably some Ia: an intermediary intensive reaction was observed after treatment with heterologous or allospecific anti-AgB, and a weak reaction with anti-Ia. The heart myocardial muscle cells, on the other hand, were nearly devoid of both antigens: no reactivity with heterologous anti-Ia and only a marginal reactivity with heterologous or allospecific anti-AgB was observed. 相似文献

The immune responses against human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine gamma globulin (BGG) were studied in rabbits after intravenous injections of various preparations of these antigens. Antigens were injected free in saline, coated on “empty” liposomes or both coated on liposomes, and entrapped in their inner compartments. The earlier established adjuvant effect of the liposomes was confirmed for both antigens. Although the amount of antigen entrapped in the liposomes was much higher than the amount coated on their outer surfaces, liposomes containing the antigen both in their inner compartments and on their outer surface showed no stronger adjuvant effect than “empty” liposomes coated with the antigen only. The results support the hypothesis that the adjuvant effect of liposomes is mediated by antigens exposed on the outer surfaces of the liposomes. Suggestions are made for the use of liposomes as a practical immunoadjuvant with definite advantages over many other adjuvants. 相似文献

Patterned antigen-binding cells (ABC) can bind two antigens and show “islands” of Ig receptor with mixed specificity. However, these cells, when unfixed, lose most of their bound fluorescent antigen within minutes upon warming above 0 °C. Residual antigen moves to one pole of the cell forming a “cap” within 5 min at room temperature. If such patterned ABC are capped with a single antigen, receptors to a second antigen can be detected on a portion of the capped cells, but only in the cap. The frequency of capped, “double” ABC approximated the frequency of patterned “double” ABC originally present.If lymphoid cells are mixed with fluorescent antigens at 0 °C and then incubated for 4 hr at 37 °, no ABC are found. When the cells are then fixed and the fluorescent antigens readded, new antigen-binding Ig receptors can be shown to have reappeared on the cell surface during the 4-hr incubation. The reappearance of antigen receptor could be inhibited by prior addition of either 10?2M sodium azide or 50 μg/ml cycloheximide, implying that the receptors were actively synthesized by the cell. These inhibitors did not prevent shedding, but azide did inhibit the capping process. Both B-cells (bone marrow or spleen cells) and T-cells (splenic T-cells or 99.5% pure cortisone-resistant T-cells) were shown to regenerate multispecific ABC to the frequency found prior to incubation. 相似文献

“Nonsensitive” cells from skin-test-negative individuals were incubated with whole cell lysates, nondialyzable and dialyzable fractions of leucocyte lysates obtained from strongly skin test sensitive histoplasmin, and/or coccidioidin sensitive donors and specific antigen. “Nonsensitive” cells incubated with whole cell lysate or nondialyzable fractions of lysate in the presence of specific antigen released a substance (MIF) which specifically inhibited the migration of guinea pig macrophages. Dialyzable fractions from active cell lysates incubated with “nonsensitive” cells and specific antigen did not liberate MIF from “nonsensitive” cells. Cell lysates, nondialyzable fractions, or dialyzable fractions alone, or in combination with nonspecific antigens in the presence of “nonsensitive” cells failed to inhibit the migration of guinea pig macrophages. 相似文献

The influence of the maternal immune system on pregnancy and on the foetus immune system have given rise to a variety of observations and interesting hypotheses. For example, the higher prevalence of atopy in first-born children as compared to their brotherhood is known as the “birth order effect”. The “hygienic hypothesis” states that more hygienic live conditions, and consequently reduced exposure to pathogens in young age (included the period of foetal development), increases the risk of atopy. Here we review the ideas concerning maternal exposure to paternal antigens and immunomodulation. In particularly, we discuss the idea that this phenomenon may induce a regulatory environment in women that interfere with the developing foetal immune system. This regulatory environment could be responsible for protecting children to the development of atopy during adulthood. We propose that maternal exposure to paternal antigens through different situations, such as pregnancy, repeated exposure to sperm or Paternal Leukocyte Immunization (PLI) would combine the “birth order effect” and the “hygienic hypothesis” and thus lower the risk to atopy in children through the transference of a regulatory environment to the foetus. 相似文献

The ability of some triterpene glycosides of holothurians: holotoxin A1 from Apostichopus japonicus and a mixture of monosulfated triterpene glycosides from Cucumaria japonica called cucumarioside (CD) to form supramolecular complexes with cholesterol (Chol) and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) or phosphatidylcholine (PC) was studied. A transmission electron microscopy method was used to observe supramolecular lipid-saponin complexes formed by holotoxin A1 and CD with cholesterol in the presence of membrane lipids. The observed supramolecular complexes are tubular nanoparticles with a length of 100–300 nm, an external diameter of 10–16 nm and an internal diameter of 2–6 nm. The formation of tubular nanoparticles was more effective in the presence of MGDG than with PC. Nanoparticles forming in the presence of MGDG are shaped as a tubule, have a constant diameter and a strongly pronounced internal channel. In contrast, PC has no such properties; this lipid is unable to fully integrate in tubular nanoparticles. Based on electron-microscopy data the range of weight ratio of MGDG-Chol-CD was determined as a 1–10: 2: 3 that provided most effective formation of tubular nanoparticles. Different methods of incorporation of model antigens in complex MGDG-Chol-CD were studied. Influenza hemagglutinin and neuraminidase from commercial vaccine “Influvac” and pore forming protein YompF from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis were used as model antigens. From 54 to 72% of protein of “Influvac” vaccine and 88–92% of YompF were incorporated in supramolecular complexes depending on the method of incorporation. The loss of functional activity of hemagglutinin of vaccine “Influvac” was the result of applying ultrasonic disintegration for incorporation of this protein in complex MGDG-Chol-CD. YompF incorporation in MGDG-Chol-CD complex led to the increased diameter of tubular particles, in the same time incorporation of vaccine “Influvac” antigens produced the “cap” formation at the end of tubules. The possibility of a described supramolecular complex MGDG-Chol-CD to be a carrier for subunit bacterial and viral antigens is shown. 相似文献

The substrate specificity of the condensation reaction catalyzed by rat liver 4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutarate aldolase has been investigated. It was found that an enzyme-mediated condensation between-glyoxylate and several “activated” carbonyl compounds could be performed. Two classes of these “activated” carbonyls were tested—the first of which are pyruvate analogs differing by substitution at C-3, whereas the second include some C-1 analogs of pyruvate as well as other simple carbonyl compounds. The possible synthetic uses of such a system are discussed as well as possible insights into the structure of the active site of this enzyme. 相似文献

A hypothesis on the role of immune RNA in antibody variability 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M Teodorescu 《Journal of theoretical biology》1973,42(2):189-218
The present hypothesis on the mechanism of antibody variability considers immune RNA (IMRNA) as a relatively independent “entity”. After having been transcribed in ontogenesis, as a result of stimulation of primordial multipotent “master cells” by primordial antigens, IMRNA behaves like an RNA virus genome. It controls only the variable part of immunoglobulin chains, proliferates and is transferred from committed to uncommitted cells, directly or using the macrophage as an “intermediate host”. During IMRNA proliferation “mutant” IMRNAs appear and control the synthesis of antibody variable regions of new specificity. The IMRNAs are reverse transcribed and inserted into DNA, chromosomal or extrachromosomal, near the gene controlling the constant part, and a complete CV gene is formed. The selective pressures which assure a relative constancy of IMRNA, so that only changes in the so-called hypervariable region are “tolerated” might be: the recognition by replicase, the insertion device, and the antigen-surface immunoglobulin-membrane receptor interaction. Arguments from immunology and from other fields of biology are brought in support at this hypothesis, and experimental approaches are suggested. 相似文献

The study of the antigen diversion of cells of rat hepatocellular tumors, which is caused by the expression of normal antigens peculiar to renal definitive tissues (so-called “heteroorganic renal antigens”) is continued. Using an immune serum of narrow specificity, in the plasma membrane fractions of Zajdela ascites hepatoma cells and of cultivated HTC hepatoma cells, heteroorganic antigens 110–115 and 125–130 kDa are revealed; the heteroorganic antigen 75–80 kDa is only detected for the Zajdela hepatoma cells. The participation of these heteroorganic antigens in the cell proliferation process is shown by the methods of radioisotope analysis and DNA flow cytometry. 相似文献
