Activation of resting human B cells by helper T-cell clone supernatant: characterization of a human B-cell-activating factor.
The effects of helper T-cell clone supernatants on resting human B cells were investigated. Four different helper T-cell clones (two T4+ and two T8+) were stimulated by anti-T3 monoclonal antibodies on Sepharose beads or anti-T11(2) plus anti-T11(3) monoclonal antibodies. The supernatants from these activated clones induced the proliferation of highly purified resting B lymphocytes from the per...
متن کاملBiochemical basis of synergy between antigen and T-helper (Th) cell-mediated activation of resting human B cells.
We have utilized CD23 expression as a marker for B cell activation in order to investigate the biochemical basis for synergy between antigen and T helper (Th) cells in the activation of resting human B cells. Our results confirm that while ligation of surface immunoglobulin (sIg) receptors by antigen analogues (e.g., F(ab')2 goat anti-human IgM) does not lead to CD23 expression, this stimulus m...
متن کاملCXCR5+CD4+ follicular helper T cells accumulate in resting human lymph nodes and have superior B cell helper activity.
Although many relevant immune reactions are initiated in the lymph nodes, this compartment has not been systematically studied in humans. Analyses have been performed on immune cells derived from tonsils, but as this tissue is most often inflamed, generalization of these data is difficult. Here, we analyzed the phenotype and function of the human CD4(+) T-cell subsets and lineages in paired res...
متن کاملAnalysis of the mechanisms of T cell-dependent polyclonal activation of human B cells. Induction of human B cell responses by fixed activated T cells.
Coculture of resting human B cells with T cells stimulated with immobilized mAb to the CD3 molecular complex induces polyclonal activation and the production of Ig of all isotypes. The current experiments were carried out to determine the nature of the signals provided to B cells by the anti-CD3-activated T cells. For these experiments, fresh T cells or T cell clones were activated with immobil...
متن کاملHelper T cell-dependent human B cell differentiation mediated by a mycoplasmal superantigen bridge
Experimentally induced murine graft-vs.-host disease may be characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, autoantibody formation, and immune complex-mediated organ system damage that mimics SLE. These autoimmune phenomena are mediated by abnormal Th-B cell cooperation, across MHC disparities, in which donor-derived allospecific Th cells recognize and interact with MHC class II antigens on the surfac...
