چکیده

The mechanism of selective anti-hapten IgE antibody production was studied in SJL mice. Using an adoptive transfer method of spleen cells into syngeneic recipients irradiated with a sublethal dose of 600 rads, it was demonstrated that for the suppression of anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE antibody production the interaction of two subsets of T cells is necessary. DNP-primed B cells and carrier-primed T helper cells are taken from donors primed with small amounts of DNP-carrier conjugates. Without injection of other cells, high titer and persistent anti-DNP antibodies are produced in the recipients. The two subsets of T cells that are active in suppression of IgE are taken from two types of donors: one donor is immunized (hyperprimed) with larger amounts of carrier protein twice, the other is an unprimed donor. The carrier for hyperpriming the first type of donor may be unrelated to the carrier used for priming the helper T cells. To bring about anti-DNP IgE suppression it is necessary that the animals should be challenged with the same DNP-carrier conjugate used for priming the B and T helper cells. If the hyperprimed donors were immunized with a heterologous, unrelated carrier, then this heterologous unconjugated carrier must also be injected together with the homologous DNP-carrier conjugate. In these conditions, anti-DNP IgE antibody production is suppressed, but the production of anti-DNP IgG1 antibody is not diminished.

Suppression of IgE antibody production in SJL mice. I. Nonspecific suppressor T cells

High titer and persistent antihapten IgE production in SJL mice can be obtained using appropriate immunization and radiation. Nonirradiated mice rapidly terminate this antihapten IgE production. Radiation was not necessary to prolong antihapten IgE production in other strains of mice. Termination can be obtained even in irradiated SJL mice by transferring normal SJL spleen cells. That the suppr...

It has been shown that preferential production of IgE antibody may be obtained in certain strains of mice if the adjuvant is Al(OH)3 (1). A high and persistent titer of IgE antibody can thus be obtained using minute doses of antigen and even booster responses can be produced (2). If mice are primed with microgram amounts of dinitrophenylated keyhole limpet hemocyanin (DNPKLH) ~ with AI(OH)3 as ...

Regulation of reaginic antibody production in mice. I. Suppression by antigen of IgE antibody production in vitro

Regulation of IgE production by antigen in a primed murine splenic lymphocyte culture system was described. Maximum IgE antibody production was found to occur when cells were cultured in the absence of exogenously added antigen. A cells and T lymphocytes did not affect the production of anti-DNP IgE antibody. By using a hapten-carrier antigen system (DNP-EA) for priming mice in vivo, it was fou...

Thymus-dependent, helper cells ("T" lymphocytes) 1 and thymus-independent, antibody-forming precursor cells ("B" lymphocytes) cooperate in the initiation of the primary antibody response of rodents to a variety of antigens (1-3). Both cell lines also cooperate in the initiation of the secondary antibody response, and both carry immunological memory (4, 5). Recent cell transfer studies indicate ...
