Purification and characterization of an L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L- tyrosine10 (GAT)-specific suppressor factor from genetic responder mice

چکیده
A hybridoma-derived, GAT-specific suppressor T cell factor (GAT-TsFR) from responder C57BL/10 mice has been purified to apparent chemical homogeneity using reversed phase HPLC techniques. 40 l of starting material yielded approximately 880 micrograms protein with a specific activity of 28.4 X 10(3) S50 U/ng protein representing a purification factor of 4.2 X 10(6). Purified GAT-TsFR is a hydrophobic protein with a minimum molecular weight of 18,000 that is capable of forming biologically active aggregates with molecular weights of 28,000, 64,000 and approximately 84,000 and has a pI of 6.4. GAT-TsFR is a glycoprotein that binds GAT and GT, but not GA, and bears determinants encoded by the I-J subregion of the H-2 complex. This GAT-TsFR derived from an H-2b responder haplotype to GAT is compared with GAT-TsF derived from the nonresponder H-2q haplotype on the basis of biochemical and some serological properties.

The synthetic terpolymer of L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) fails to stimulate development of GAT-specific antibody responses in nonresponder strains of mice, but does stimulate the development of GAT-specific suppressor T cells that inhibit the development of normal anti-GAT antibody responses to GAT complexed to methylated bovine serum albumin (GAT-MBSA). Furthermore, extract...

We have previously reported that two types of suppressor T cell factors (TsF) specific for L-glutamic acid50-L-tyrosine50 (GT) or L-glutamic acid60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT) can be distinguished based upon differences in their ability to suppress responses by allogeneic mice. Injection of GAT or GT induces a suppressor T cell subset that produces an antigen-binding, I-J+, genetically unres...
