Tolerance to parenchymal self. Regulatory role of major histocompatibility complex-restricted, OX8+ suppressor T cells specific for autologous renal tubular antigen in experimental interstitial nephritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
BN rats develop interstitial nephritis after immunization with rabbit, but not rat renal tubular antigen. Using RT1n rat strains that differentially express tubular antigen, we investigated the unresponsiveness of BN rats to BN tubular antigen (BN-TBM) using delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to BN-TBM as a measure of cell-mediated immunity. Our results indicate that rat strains expressing tubular antigen respond to immunization with BN-TBM with the clonal expansion of antigen-specific, cyclophosphamide-sensitive, OX8+, MHC-restricted suppressor T cells. Such suppression appears to be relevant to the maintenance of tolerance to parenchymal self, since chronic cyclophosphamide therapy abrogates suppression and results in significant interstitial nephritis.

Contrasuppression in autoimmunity. Abnormal contrasuppression facilitates expression of nephritogenic effector T cells and interstitial nephritis in kdkd mice
We have used the murine model of spontaneous autoimmune interstitial nephritis in kdkd mice to examine the importance of abnormal immunoregulation in the expression of disease. T cells from naive congenic CBA/Ca mice suppress both histologic renal injury in the kdkd strain as well as the DTH reactivity to CBA/Ca renal tubular antigens mediated by lymphocytes from nephritic kdkd mice. These anti...
متن کاملTubular antigen-derivatized cells induce a disease-protective, antigen- specific, and idiotype-specific suppressor T cell network restricted by I-J and Igh-V in mice with experimental interstitial nephritis
The nephritogenic effector T cell response producing interstitial nephritis in mice can be largely inhibited by the adoptive transfer of suppressor T cells before or after the induction of disease. These suppressor T cells are harvested from donor mice primed with tubular antigen-derivatized syngeneic lymphocytes, and two subsets of suppressor cells can be characterized within this donor cell p...
متن کاملCharacterization of a renal tubular epithelial cell line which secretes the autologous target antigen of autoimmune experimental interstitial nephritis
Proximal tubular epithelial cells from mice which develop autoimmune interstitial nephritis were found to express the nephritogenic target antigen, 3M-1. Anti-3M-1 mAbs (alpha 3M-1-Ab) were used to positively select for 3M-1-secreting tubular epithelium and, after stabilization in culture, this new cell line (MCT) was examined for the production of several moieties important to either immune in...
متن کاملAntiidiotypic immunity in interstitial nephritis. II. Rats developing anti-tubular basement membrane disease fail to make an antiidiotypic regulatory response: the modulatory role of an RT7.1+, OX8- suppressor T cell mechanism
Antiidiotypic immunity can successfully inhibit the development of antitubular basement membrane (alpha TBM) disease that produces interstitial nephritis. Rats normally immunized to produce disease, however, do not develop this regulatory and protective antiidiotypic effect. The failure to see such a regulatory response is functionally related to the influence of a nonspecific, RT7.1+, OX8-supp...
متن کاملCD4+ T Cell Tolerance to Parenchymal Self-Antigens Requires Presentation by Bone Marrow–derived Antigen-presenting Cells
T cell tolerance to parenchymal self-antigens is thought to be induced by encounter of the T cell with its cognate peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ligand expressed on the parenchymal cell, which lacks appropriate costimulatory function. We have used a model system in which naive T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic hemagglutinin (HA)-specific CD4+ T cells are adoptively transferred i...
