چکیده
The locus of the gene that codes for the antigen-specific suppressive T-cell factor was determined to be in a new subregion "I-J" which locates between I-B and I-C subregions in the H-2 histocompatibility complex. This was shown by two different lines of evidence: (a) The absorbing capacity for the suppressive T-cell factor of several alloantisera against restricted I subregions did not correlate with their specificity for previously known Ia molecules which are coded for by genes in I-A and I-C subregions, but was associated with the specificity for the products of genes putatively present between I-B and I-C subregions. By the occurrence of special recombinant strains, i.e. B10.A(5R), B10.A(3R), B10.S(9R), and B10.HTT, which differ with respect to the I-J subregion, we were able to produce alloantisera which distinguish I-J subregion gene products. The absorption studies using these special alloantisera directed to I-J subregion clearly indicated that the suppressive T-cell factor is a product of I-J subregion gene(s), and that the molecule is distinct from known Ia molecules expressed on splenic B cells. (b) Taking advantage of the fact that there is a strict histocompatibility requirement for the effective suppression between the donor and recipient strains of the suppressive T-cell factor, we were able to determine the required identities of the genes in the H-2 complex existing among those present between I-B and I-C. Again, utilizing the T-cell factors obtained from special recombinant strains, i.e. B10.A(4R) and B10.A(5R), we were able to locate the gene that codes for the suppressive T-cell factor reactive only with relevant haplotype strains between I-B and I-C subregions. These results are most reasonably explained by the presence of a new subregion I-J which is specialized in coding for the suppressive T-cell factor as a different molecule from previously known Ia molecules.

Background & Aim: Tolerance to the semi-allogenic fetal graft by the maternal immune system is a medical enigma that has stimulated investigations for a half of century. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the tolerance of mother to the fetus. The successful pregnancy is proposed and proved by many scientists to be a Th2 dominant phenomenon. This hypothesis is proved in most as...

The antigen-specific suppressive T-cell factor of mice, which had previously been shown to be an I region gene product, could effectively suppress the in vitro secondary antibody response of spleen cells from syngeneic or H-2 compatible mouse strains but not that of H-2 incompatible strains. The identities among genes in the left side half (K, I-A, and I-B) of the H-2 complex between the donor ...

Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...
متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTL Epitopes Restricted by HLA-A*0201 in HHD Mice
CD8+ T cells are thought to play an important role in protective immunity to tuberculosis. The major histocompatibility complex class I subtype HLA-A*0201 is one of the most prevalent class I alleles, with a frequency of over 30% in most populations. HLA-A*0201 transgenic, H-2Db/mouse beta2-microglobulin double-knockout mice (HHD) which express human HLA-A*0201 but no mouse class I, was shown t...

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease targeting the insulin-producing β cells within pancreatic islets. Autoimmune diseases may develop as a consequence of altered balance between regulatory (Tregs) and autoreactive T cells. Objectives: To evaluate Treg cells frequency and suppressive function in the peripheral blood of newly diagnosed T1D patients in compari...
