Activation of human B lymphocytes after immunization with pneumococcal polysaccharides.
The in vivo and in vitro immune response after in vivo immunization with pneumococcal polysaccharides (PPS) has been analyzed in man. Substantial differences were noted in this system when compared with human responses to soluble protein antigens. Within 6 d after immunization, specific PPS antigen-binding cells (ABC), specific plaque-forming cells (PFC), and cells capable of spontaneously synt...
متن کاملPrevention of Pneumococcal Pneumonia by Immunization with Specific Capsular Polysaccharides
1. Immunization of man with 0.03 to 0.06 mg. of each of the capsular polysaccharides of pneumococcus types I, II, V, and VII, given in a single subcutaneous injection, has been shown to be effective in preventing pneumonia caused by these types but not that due to heterologous types. 2. Immunity appears within a period of 2 weeks following injection of the polysaccharides. Its duration was not ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Epstein-Barr virus activation of human B lymphocytes
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) will infect at least every third cell if exposed in vitro to an extensively purified B cell population from human peripheral blood. About 10% of such infected cells will be driven into immunoglobulin synthesis and secretion, as judged by the indirect protein A plaque assay. The appearance of EB nuclear antigen, de novo DNA synthesis, and immunoglobulin secretion are lin...
متن کاملActivation of Human Lymphocytes
Lectins and other polyclonal lymphocyte stimulants have been used extensively both to analyze early events in cellular activation and clinically as aids to the assessment of immunocompetence (1-5). Earlier studies of the response of human blood lymphocytes to lectins provided suggestive evidence for heterogeneity of responding lymphocyte populations (6, 7). Chessin et al. (6) showed that the ly...
متن کاملActivation primes human B lymphocytes to respond to heat shock
Crosslinkage of the B cell antigen receptor by anti-mu beads or SAC results in the selective induction of hsp70. We have observed that activated cells, having enhanced expression of hsp70, survive lethal stimuli much better than their unactivated counterparts. These results are in accordance with the proposal that hsp70 is essential for cells to survive lethal environmental stresses. Moreover, ...
