Antigen-specific, MHC nonrestricted T helper cell-induced B cell activation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used a cloned, TNP-specific, MHC-restricted, human Th cell line, E-11, and an assay of cognate Th-B cell interaction, BLAST-2 antigen expression on the B cell surface, to investigate the functional nature of the Th cell antigen receptor. We observed that E-11 induces BLAST-2 expression by resting B cells in a hapten-dependent, hapten-specific, but MHC nonrestricted manner. The implication of these results for the Th cell receptor are discussed.

Major histocompatibility complex-restricted, polyclonal B cell responses resulting from helper T cell recognition of antiimmunoglobulin presented by small B lymphocytes
Anti-Ig has been widely used as a model for antigen receptor-mediated B cell activation. B cells activated with mitogenic concentrations of anti-Ig (approximately 10 micrograms/ml) become responsive to a set of T cell-derived, antigen-nonspecific helper factors that enable the B cells to proliferate, and, in some cases, mature to Ig secretion. In the present experiments, we show that anti-Ig ca...
متن کاملRequirement for three signals in "T-independent" (lipopolysaccharide- induced) as well as in T-dependent B cell responses
The requirements for different activation signals in the generation of plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses by positively selected B (surface immunoglobulin-positive) cells were analyzed in low-density cultures to minimize the possible effects of contaminating T cells. Using this system, it is demonstrated that not only in T helper cell (TH)-dependent but also in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-depende...
متن کاملBoth a monoclonal antibody and antisera specific for determinants unique to individual cloned helper T cell lines can substitute for antigen and antigen-presenting cells in the activation of T cells
Two antisera and a monoclonal antibody raised in BALB.K mice against cloned, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted, antigen-specific helper T cell lines are described. These antibodies are specific for individual cloned T cell lines and are potent inducers of T cell proliferation. The induction of T cell proliferation by these antibodies requires the presence of an adherent accessor...
متن کامل838 St 1 Mulatory Antibodies Specific for Helper T Cell Clones
The proliferation of helper T cells and the T-dependent induction of B cell activation are events that are initiated by T cell recognition of antigen in association with Ia glycoproteins. However, the molecular basis of helper T cell antigen recognition remains unknown. Like several other laboratories, we have approached this problem by raising antibodies that are individually specific for func...
