چکیده

The proportion of peripheral blood lymphocytes with cell surface b5 immunoglobulin (Ig) was compared with serum b5 Ig levels in allotype-suppressed and recovering b5 homozygous rabbits in order to establish the cellular defect in suppression and to determine the relation between lymphocyte membrane Ig and secreted Ig of the same allotype. In rabbits fully suppressed for b5, the absence of circulating b5 Ig is reflected in a complete deletion of b5-bearing lymphocytes. During spontaneous escape from suppression, the appearance of b5-bearing lymphocytes precedes the appearance of detectable serum b5. During recovery from suppression b5-bearing lymphocytes recover rapidly toward normal levels, but circulating b5 levels remain chronically and disproportionately depressed.

I. the Ontogeny of Cells Bearing Immunoglobvlin of Paternal Allotype and the Fate of These Cells after Treatment with Antiallotype Antisera by Michael R. Harrison and Rose G. Mage

Since Dray's original description of allotype suppression in the rabbit (1), suppression of immunoglobulin (Ig) 1 allotypes in mice (2, 3), of Ig classes in chickens (4) and mice (5), and of Ig idiotypes in mice (6) has been documented. Nonetheless, the mechanism by which exposure to appropriate anti-Ig antisera suppresses production of a specific allotype, class, or idiotype is not known. In t...

Restriction of Gene Expression in B Lymphocytes and Their Progeny

Lymphocytes from b(5)/b(9) rabbits were stained in suspension with fluorescent antiallotype antibody reagents to selectively label with fluorescent molecules those cells bearing membrane immunoglobulin (Ig) of the b5 or b9 allotype. After staining, the cells were separated by the fluorescence-activated cell sorter into populations markedly enriched in cells bearing b5 or b9 membrane Ig or total...

Allotype Suppression in the Rabbit

The ability to distinguish immunoglobulin (Ig) of paternal allotype both on lymphocyte membranes and in the serum of neonatal b(4)b(5) heterozygous rabbits has allowed us to study the postnatal ontogeny of cells bearing endogenously synthesized Ig that could not have been derived from the mother. In normal b(4)b(5) rabbits, such endogenously synthesized Ig of paternal allotype is present on the...

IN VITRO STUDIES ON ALLOTYPE SUPPRESSION III. Components of Antiallotype Serum Active in Release from Allotype

In rabbits which are heterogeneous with respect to antigenic determinants on serum immunoglobulins (Ig), prenatal or neonatal exposure to antibodies specific for one allelic allotype leads to a long-lasting suppression of that type with compensatory production of the alternate allelic product. This phenomenon, called allotype suppression, was first described by Dray in 1962 (1) . Although many ...

Lymphoid Cell Transfers in Histocompatible

Considerable evidence now exists suggesting that chronic allotype suppression in the rabbit is associated with a mechanism of allotype-specific inhibition. Although suppression in the acute stage appears to he that of synthesis, chronic suppression seems to be due to a block in secretion, as shown by the presence in chronically suppressed rabbits of unexpectedly large numbers of lymphocytes abl...
