A specific IgG in Graves' ophthalmopathy and its relation to retro-orbital and thyroid autoimmunity.
An IgG (ophthalmopathic immunoglobulin) that binds to retro-orbital antigen was identified in serum from patients with active Graves'' ophthalmopathy, and its nature and specificity were investigated. Dose related binding of this immunoglobulin to retro-orbital antigens prepared from guinea pig harderian gland or porcine eye muscle was found, which could be abolished by prior incubation with antigen. The immunoglobulin did not bind to thyroid membranes, thyroid microsomes, or thyroglobulin or interact with liver, skeletal muscle, or fat membranes. Serum with high activity of thyrotrophin binding inhibiting immunoglobulin did not react with retro-orbital antigen, and this activity was not affected by preincubation of the serum with retro-orbital antigen. Thyroid stimulating hormone was also without effect on retro-orbital antigen. It is concluded that Graves'' ophthalmopathy is associated with a specific ophthalmopathic immunoglobulin that reacts with retro-orbital antigen as distinct from thyroid antigens, and that the autoimmune response is directed towards retro-orbital antigens. This suggests that the ophthalmopathy is an entity distinct from autoimmune thyroid disease. 相似文献

Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAb) are currently being assessed for their utility as tools in cancer management. Anti-murine immunoglobulin responses have been observed in many patients receiving monoclonal antibody treatment. In this study, we evaluated the response of primates to the administration of a monoclonal antibody. MAb B6.2, an antibody generated against a human breast tumor metastasis, was used as a prototype MAb. Baboons were inoculated with MAb B6.2 whole IgG, Fab', or F(ab')2 fragments. Blood samples were drawn at periodic intervals post-inoculation and the sera collected. Anti-murine immunoglobulin responses were detected using a solid-phase radioimmunoassay. The specificity of the antibody response was analyzed to determine if the response was directed against the species of origin of the MAb (species specificity), against the class of the MAb (isotype specificity), or against the hypervariable region of the MAb (idiotype specificity). We found that primates develop a humoral immune response against all three forms of the monoclonal antibody [IgG, Fab', and F(ab')2]. Furthermore, this antibody response demonstrated a high degree of specificity for the antigen binding site suggesting an idiotypic specificity. Using a competitive radioimmunoassay, the antibody response was found to interfere with antigen binding of MAb B6.2. These studies suggest that monoclonal antibody treatment can generate an anti-idiotypic response which may alter the efficacy of this mode of treatment. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibody specific for lactosylceramide 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The mouse hybridoma line T5A7 was derived during studies aimed at mapping human myeloid differentiation antigens. The IgM antibody secreted by this line recognizes an antigen richly expressed on mature myelomonocytic cells and on a subpopulation of lectin-activated human T-lymphocytes (Andrews, R. G., Torok-Storb, B., and Bernstein, I. D. (1983) Blood 62, 124-132). In the present study, we have determined the specificity of T5A7 antibody to be directed to lactosylceramide (Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1 Cer) based on direct and indirect binding assays using a variety of glycolipids with known structures. The antibody did not cross-react with glycolipids having an N-acetyllactosamine terminus, including lactoneotetraosylceramide lactonorhexaosylceramide (i antigen), and lactoisooctaosylceramide (I antigen). The possible contribution of ceramide to the reactivity of lactosylceramide with this antibody was also studied using lactosylceramide preparations having different fatty acid composition. 相似文献

Antigen stimulation, while eliciting the production of specific antibodies, also induces a nonspecific polyclonal hyperimmunoglobulinemia which includes antibodies directed at previously experienced antigens. It is postulated that these antibodies play an important role in the physiologic maintenance of long term immunologic memory by providing a continuing source of newly synthesized molecules which recapitulate the individuals immunologic history. The immunoglobulin produced during these responses becomes associated with local macrophages through the Fc receptors; this interaction arms these cells thereby enhancing the likelihood of increasingly avid uptake of subsequent antigenic challenges. By greatly promoting the presentation of antigens within lymph node and spleen to long lived, recirculating T and B antigen recognizing cells, immunologic anemnesia is potentiated. Several predictions which follow from this hypothesis are examined, including the clinical immunodeficiency associated with multiple myeloma. 相似文献

This report describes the first analysis of the expressed B cell repertoire specific for a bacterium. In this study, responses to an acetone-killed and dried preparation of Salmonella typhimurium strain TML (AKD-TML) are described. The results show that AKD-TML can stimulate splenic B cells from primed CBA/Ca mice over a wide dose range. The average frequency of secondary TML-specific B cells is 16.4 per 10(5) splenic B cells. This frequency is similar to that observed for another complex, natural antigen, the hemagglutinin of influenza virus. The majority of all secondary TML-specific B cells (greater than 70%) secrete immunoglobulin M, but most of these clones also secrete other isotypes of which immunoglobulins G2 and A are the most prevalent. Analysis of the specificity of secondary TML-specific B cells showed that the vast majority of these B cells were specific for the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule. Moreover, fine specificity analysis demonstrated that approximately two-thirds of these anti-LPS-specific B cell clones are directed against the core polysaccharides or lipid A regions of the LPS molecule, while only about one-third are directed toward the O antigen region. Since anti-S. typhimurium serum antibodies are directed primarily against the O antigens, these studies suggest that the serum levels of antibodies to a given epitope on a bacterial antigen may not be a true reflection of the expressed B cell repertoire when analyzed at the single B cell level. These studies also suggest that the role of antibodies to lipid A molecules in the development of protective immunity to S. typhimurium be reevaluated. 相似文献

Normal mice possess spleen cells capable of forming hemolytic plaques against bromelain-treated autologous red cells (Br MRBC). There is present in the serum of these same mice a substance which can inhibit the formation of these plaques. This substance is inhibitory to the secretion of these antibodies following incubation of spleen cells in 20% serum at 4 degrees C for 5 min. This substance is not inhibitory to the formation of anti-sheep erythrocyte plaques from mice either immunized or nonimmunized with sheep erythrocytes. Characterization of the substance indicates that it is neither soluble antigen nor specific antibody. However, inclusion of nanogram amounts of soluble antigen from bromelain-treated red cells in the assay mixture effectively neutralized the suppression. In addition, passage of serum through a mouse anti-Br MRBC antibody immunoadsorbent effectively removed the suppressive activity of the serum while suppression could be recovered in the acid eluate from such a column. This suggests that the mechanism of suppression brought about by incubation in serum is due to the action of a molecule possessing anti-idiotypic activity directed against the cell surface receptors of anti-Br MRBC B cells. Attempts to isolate the molecule based on the postulate that it is immunoglobulin in nature have been unsuccessful. 相似文献

Specific Collaboration between T and B Lymphocytes across a Cell Impermeable Membrane <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro</Emphasis> 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
ANTIBODY production to many antigens including heterologous erythrocytes1–3, serum proteins4,5 and hapten protein conjugates6,7, occurs as a result of an interaction between antigen and thymus-derived (T) and non-thymus-derived (B) lymphocytes. Although the specificity of the antibody response is determined by T as well as B cells8–10, T cells do not actively secrete any of the known classes of immunoglobulin molecules11. Their function seems rather to initiate the sequence of events whereby antigen is presented to B cells in an immunogenic form capable of stimulating antibody synthesis12. 相似文献

B cells have limited endocytic capacity and are reported to endocytose and present liposome-encapsulated antigens poorly. B cells also endocytose soluble antigens poorly, except those for which their surface immunoglobulin is specific, which are taken up and presented efficiently. We present results indicating that, in vitro, B cells endocytose small liposomes bearing antigen with affinity for their surface immunoglobulin. Antigen encapsulated in liposomes targeted by antibody specific for surface immunoglobulin is presented to T cells as efficiently as specific antigen in soluble form. These studies provide a rational basis for the design of liposomes optimized to stimulate T-dependent B-cell responses. 相似文献

Role of the LFA-1 molecule in cellular interactions required for antibody production in humans 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) has been shown to play a role in various T cell functions in mice and humans including cytotoxicity, and proliferation to allogeneic cells and foreign antigens. These functions have been defined with specific monoclonal antibodies and were additionally confirmed by the investigation of patients with inherited deficiency in membrane LFA-1 expression. In this paper, we report our studies on the potential role of the LFA-1 molecule in T lymphocyte-dependent antibody responses. In a patient with a complete lack of membrane expression of LFA-1, there was no in vivo antibody response to vaccinal antigens such as tetanus, diphtheria toxoids, and polio virus, and no in vivo or in vitro antibody production to influenza virus, whereas serum immunoglobulin levels and antibodies to polysaccharides (isohemagglutinins, antibody to mannan, and a polysaccharide from Candida albicans) were detected in correlation with in vitro production of anti-mannan antibody. The defective antibody response to polypeptides was not secondary to poor antigen-specific T proliferation, because the latter was found to be present. Similarly, in vitro antibody production to influenza virus of normal cells was blocked by several anti LFA-1 monoclonal antibodies specific for the alpha subunit of the molecule, if they were added from the beginning of the culture. The antibody production blockade could be achieved with monoclonal antibody concentrations that partially preserved T cell proliferation. The helper effect of an influenza virus-specific helper T cell clone was also blocked. The targets of the blockade were shown by incubation experiments to be T cells and monocytes. In contrast, anti-LFA-1 monoclonal antibodies had no effect on pokeweed mitogen-induced B cell maturation into immunoglobulin-containing cells and on the anti-mannan antibody production. These combined data demonstrate that the LFA-1 molecule plays a role in T cell dependent antibody production to polypeptidic antigens but not in the antibody response to polysaccharides, although the antibody response to mannan is T cell dependent. It is proposed that the LFA-1 molecule is required to some extent for a antigen-presenting cells-T lymphocyte interaction and for the maintenance of a close association between antigen-specific helper T cells and small resting B lymphocytes. Polysaccharidic antigens that exhibit repetitive antigenic determinants might cross-link membrane immunoglobulins on B lymphocytes, thus allowing B cells to pass through a first step of activation requiring cognate T-B cell interaction. 相似文献

Introduction
The antigen recognition pattern of immunoglobulin M (IgM) could, when directed against protein antigens, provide an indication of the antigenic moieties triggering new B cells. The half-life of IgM is short and memory B cells against T-cell-dependent protein antigens typically produce IgG and not IgM antibodies. In this study, we analyzed whether a difference exists between the fine specificity of IgM versus IgG anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). 相似文献11.
The effects of addition of anti-Ia sera to cultures of B cells responding to a number of different stimuli were studied. Anti-Ia sera inhibited the responses of B cells to thymus-dependent and thymus-independent antigens. The effects of antisera directed at different subregions within theI region were examined, using the same anti-Ia serum and mouse strains congenic atI. There was some indication that antisera directed at theI-C region might be more efficient at inhibiting responses to a thymus-independent antigen than to a thymus-dependent antigen. An antiserum to another B-cell surface component controlled by theH-2 complex, the D glycoprotein, had no effect on the response of B cells to a thymus-dependent antigen. By contrast, anti-Ia serum added to cultures had no effect on the activity of a T cell-derived, nonspecific, B-cell helper mediator (NSM). We concluded that the binding of anti-Ia sera to B-cell surfaces inhibited B-cell responses to antigen, either by competing directly with the binding of signal molecules, or by delivering an inhibitory signal to the B cell, such that it was subsequently refractory to stimulatory signals. 相似文献

In this paper, we characterize the antigen recognized by the monoclonal antibody B73.1 and the modification occurring at the membrane of the positive cells after interaction with the antibody. The B73.1-defined antigen is a protein of 50,000 to 72,000 daltons that is sensitive to pronase but not to trypsin treatment. B73.1 antibody, and its F(ab')2 fragment, directly block, at high concentrations, the binding of IgG antibody-sensitized erythrocytes to the Fc receptors (FcR) of a subpopulation of lymphocytes and neutrophils. B73.1 antibody dissociates rapidly from the positive cells, but concomitant modulation of both B73.1 antigen and FcR is induced when cells are incubated in the continuous presence of antibody or when B73.1 antibody is cross-linked at the cell membrane with an anti-mouse immunoglobulin antiserum. Reaction of lymphocytes with immune complexes also induces modulation of both FcR and B73.1 antigen, without affecting the expression of other antigens on the positive cells. The possibility that the antigen is internalized and digested by the cell after reaction with the antibody is discussed. B73.1 antibody inhibits antibody-dependent cytotoxicity mediated by lymphocytes (K cells) and neutrophils, whereas it does not affect spontaneous cytotoxicity of NK cells. These results suggest the B73.1-defined antigen might be the FcR or a structure closely related to it on K/NK cells. 相似文献

Sera from mice with transplanted 3-methylcholantrene-induced tumors have been shown previously to inhibit the function of normal lymphoid cells. When chromatographed on Sephadex G-150, the fraction eluting with immunoglobulin has been shown to inhibit the proliferative response of normal spleen cells to concanavalin A and to inhibit the in vitro antibody response to a T-dependent antigen, but has a lesser effect on the antibody response to a T-independent antigen. This paper deals with studies on the mode of action of the serum factor. The immunoglobulin containing fraction of serum from tumor-bearing mice inhibited the in vitro generation of both allogeneic and syngeneic cytotoxic lymphocytes. Time course studies demonstrate that the serum fraction inhibits the generation of antibody-producing and cytotoxic lymphocytes if added during the first 2 days of a 5-day culture. Serum fractions added after day 2 had no effect on the in vitro response. The serum factor appears to inhibit the generation of specific T cell function during the proliferative stage of development but has no effect on the differentiation stage which leads to either antibody-producing cells or cytotoxic lymphocytes. 相似文献

The immune response of cod (Gadus morhua L.) is unusual in that specific antibody response is limited or absent. In the present study cod was immunised with haptenated and non-haptenated protein antigen at two different temperatures and the antibody response monitored over a period of 18 months. Other humoral parameters of immunological importance were also analysed, namely total immunoglobulin concentration, anti-protease and spontaneous haemolytic activity. No specific antibody response was detected but increased activity of non-specific anti-TNP antibodies was observed 10-12 weeks after immunisation, irrespective of the antigen used. This antibody activity was attributed to the adjuvant used (FCA) and did not cross react with other antigens tested. Other parameters were probably not influenced by the immunisation but seasonal fluctuations were indicated. The immunoglobulin level appeared to peak in August-September and the anti-protease activity and the haemolytic activity in October-January. 相似文献

Activation of antigen-enriched B cells. II. Role of linked recognition in B cell proliferation to thymus-dependent antigens 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The responsiveness to T-dependent (TD) and T-independent (TI) TNP-antigens of murine splenic B cells previously enriched for antigen-binding cells (ABC) was examined. TNP-TI antigens induced B cell proliferation. TNP-TD antigens did not induce a proliferative response regardless of the physical form or nature of the TNP-TD antigen (e.g., soluble vs particulate, low or high haptenation of carrier, TNP on various insoluble matrices, etc.). TNP-TD antigens were effective in enhancing the response of the TNP-ABC to all concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) tested, indicating that binding of antigen to surface immunoglobulin alters the LPS responsiveness of the cell. Irradiated, keyhole limpet hemocyanin- (KLH) primed T cells induced a threefold to fourfold greater B cell proliferative response with TNP-KLH than with fluoresceinated KLH (FLU-KLH) or FLU-KLH together with TNP-human serum albumin (TNP-HSA). Therefore, linked recognition appears essential for optimal T cell-mediated B cell proliferation, whereas the induction of B cell proliferation via nonlinked, carrier-activated T cells is a minor component of the response. 相似文献

We describe here an anti-idiotypic hybridoma antibody directed against affinity-purified rabbit idiotypic antibodies (Rb-Id) to a homogeneous protein, the recombinant human leukocyte A interferon (rIFN-alpha A). The supernatant of the hybridoma, designated 3-1B, was able to inhibit the neutralization of rIFN-alpha A activity by the idiotypic antibodies. An in vivo passage of uncloned 3-1B cells yielded hybridoma cells (presumably a subclone), designated 3B1, the supernatant of which exhibited interferon-like antiviral activity with both bovine kidney (MDBK) cells and human amnion (WISH) cells. This activity could be absorbed by polymer-bound goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin serum and by Rb-Id coupled to Affi-Gel 10, and could be partially eluted from the latter at pH 2.5. The anti-idiotypic hybridoma antibody was able to compete with 125I-rIFN-alpha A for binding to the Rb-Id and also to interferon receptor-bearing MDBK cells. The clinical significance of an interferon-like anti-idiotypic antibody is discussed. 相似文献

The application of LIPS to the rapid quantification of antibody responses to infectious agents is described. Chimeric genes encoding pathogen antigens fused to Renilla luciferase are expressed in mammalian cells; crude extracts are prepared and, without purification, employed in immunoprecipitation assays to quantify pathogen-specific antibodies. In cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, antibody levels to the MSG-14 antigen of Pneumocystis jirovecii measured by this assay correlated well with levels previously obtained with an optimized ELISA. We also correctly predicted Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and HIV infection status in all but 2 of 99 assays analyzing 33 patient sera. We then used 15 HIV-encoded proteins comprising the whole HIV proteome to generate antibody response profiles for these 33 sera. Each HIV antigen was recognized by antibodies in serum from at least one HIV-infected individual. Data generated with these simple, quantitative antibody-detection assays have both clinical and research applications. 相似文献

Amplification of human B cell activation by a monoclonal antibody to the B cell-specific antigen CD22, Bp 130/140 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The B cell-specific antigen CD22 is a 130/140-Kd complex and is unique among human B cell antigens, since its surface expression is restricted to a subpopulation of Ig+ B cells. Here the function of the CD22 antigen was evaluated by using the mAb HD6, directed against one of the epitopes on the molecule. The HD6 antibody was constimulatory with anti-Ig in inducing small, dense tonsillar cells to proliferate; however, the antibody by itself was devoid of stimulatory activity. Anti-CD22 antibody also induced more anti-Ig-treated B cells to leave G0 and enter the G1 phase of the cell cycle. It also was constimulatory with low-m.w. BCGF and with an antibody to a 50-Kd polypeptide, Bp50, which mediates a BCGF-like activity. Results of kinetic experiments and analysis of different B cell fractions suggested that anti-CD22 acts during an early phase of B cell activation, probably by amplifying the anti-Ig signal. F(ab')2 fragments of anti-CD22 HD6 were as effective as the whole antibody in inducing augmentation of B cell proliferation, showing that the Fc portion of the molecule was not required for the activity. The results of these experiments, together with the intriguing distribution of the Bp 130/140 antigen in B cell ontogeny, suggest that this molecule plays an important role in the process that leads to B cell activation and proliferation. 相似文献

The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of formalin-inactivated influenza B/Memphis/1/93 virus vaccines propagated exclusively in Vero cells, MDCK cells, or embryonated chicken eggs (hereafter referred to as eggs) were investigated. Mammalian cell-grown viruses differ from the egg-grown variant at amino acid position 198 (Pro/Thr) in the hemagglutinin gene. The level of neuraminidase activity was highest in egg-grown virus, while MDCK and Vero cell-derived viruses possessed 70 and 90% less activity, respectively. After boosting, each of the vaccines induced high levels of hemagglutinin-inhibiting, neuraminidase-inhibiting, and neutralizing antibodies that provided complete protection from MDCK-grown virus challenge. Mammalian cell-derived virus vaccines induced serum antibodies that were more cross-reactive, while those induced by egg-grown virus vaccines were more specific to the homologous antigen. Enzyme-linked immunospot analysis indicated that cell-grown virus vaccines induced high frequencies of immunoglobulin G (IgG)-producing cells directed against both cell- and egg-grown virus antigens, whereas egg-grown virus vaccine induced higher frequencies of IgG- and IgM-producing cells reacting with homologous antigen and low levels of IgG-producing cells reactive with cell-grown viruses. These studies indicate that influenza B virus variants selected in different host systems can elicit different immune responses, but these alterations had no detectable influence on the protective efficacy of the vaccines with the immunization protocol used in this study. 相似文献

Antibody-induced antigenic modulation is antigen dependent: characterization of 22 proteins on a malignant human B cell line 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Expression of several of the surface antigens on normal and malignant hematopoietic cells is reduced or is modulated by incubation with specific antibodies. Although antigenic modulation provides a means by which cells can escape antibody-mediated immune destruction, the physiologic significance and frequency of this phenomenon are both poorly understood. To begin to address these issues, we identified and characterized surface antigens on the malignant B cell line Laz 221 established from a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Indirect immunofluorescence analysis with the use of 26 hematopoietic cell populations and immune precipitation studies with the use of iodinated ALL cells indicate that 163 monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) identify 22 different proteins on this cell line, including at least six previously described surface molecules. Seven of these antigens are expressed by all nucleated cells examined, whereas only the mu chain of immunoglobulin is B cell specific. Incubation of specific MoAb with cultures of Laz 221 cells at 37 degrees C reduces or modulates surface expression of five of these 22 antigens (p45, immunoglobulin mu chain, transferrin receptor, common ALL antigen (CD10), and p105). Studies that made use of multiple MoAb specific for the same antigen suggest that the capacity for antigenic modulation is an intrinsic property of individual antigens. These studies also suggest that the murine immune response to shared human antigens varies from one immunizing cell population to another. For example, three of the antigens present on Laz 221 cells were only identified by MoAb raised to the Burkitt's cell line Ramos and vice-versa. Only one of these six shared antigens is present in greater amounts on the immunogenic cell population. Immunogenicity of individual human antigens in the mouse may be a function of their cell surface environment. 相似文献
