چکیده

Rat antisera raised against anti-nuclease antibodies from mouse strains A/J and SJL detect strain-specific idiotypic determinants related to the antigen-combining site. These antisera have been used to investigate the genetic linkage and strain distribution of the anti-nuclease idiotypes. Despite the existence of an H-2-linked immune response gene controlling the humoral response to nuclease, expression of the A/J anti-nuclease idiotype has been shown to be independent of genes in the H-2 region: the A/J idiotype was present in immune sera from strains A/J (H-2a) and A.BY (H-2b) but absent in sera from strains B10 (H-2b) and B10.A (H-2a). An analysis of the segregation of the A/J idiotype in offspring of the backcross (A/J x B10.A) x B10.A demonstrated linkage to the Ig-1e heavy chain allotype markers. In a small sample of backcross animals a very high apparent recombination frequency was observed, but further backcross analyses and progeny testing of putative recombinant animals will be required to substantiate this observation. Analysis of the A/J and SJL anti-nuclease idiotype markers in the BALB/c, CB.20, and BAB.14 strains indicate that these idiotypic markers may permit mapping of distinct variable region genes.

n g of Genes for Ant ibodies to Different An t igen ic Regions of Nuclease

Staphylococcal nuclease is a well-characterized protein antigen that has been used in our laboratory for a variety of studies on the genetic control of immune responses (1). Rat antisera detecting binding site-specific idiotypic determinants of anti-nuclease antibodies have been used to study the genetics of variable region genes (2-4). Thus, genes determining the predominant idiotype produced ...

The genetic control of the immune response to staphylococcal nuclease VI. Recombination between genes determining the A/J anti-nuclease idiotypes and the heavy chain allotype locus

Rat antisera detecting binding site-specific idiotypic determinants on anti-nuclease antibodies from A/J mice have been used to define the A/J anti-nuclease idiotype and to investigate its genetic linkage as a variable region marker. Analysis of the segregation of the A/J idiotype in progeny of the backcross (B10.A X A/J) X B10.A showed linkage of the idiotype to the Ig-1e heavy chain allotype ...

Modification of T cell antinuclease idiotype expression by in vivo administration of anti-idiotype

Immunization of BALB/c mice with nuclease leads to the production of anti-nuclease antibodies bearing a set of cross-reactive idiotypes (Id) distinct from those produced by B10.D2 mice after similar immunization. In both strains, such immunization with nuclease also leads to the production of splenic T helper cells (TH), which provide nuclease-specific help in an in vitro plaque-forming cell re...

T-lymphocyte-enriched murine peritoneal exudate cells. II. Genetic control of antigen-induced T-lymphocyte proliferation

The recent introduction of a reliable, T-lymphocyte proliferation assay, which utilizes thioglycollate-induced, nylon wool column-passed, peritoneal exudate lymphocytes from immune mice (PETLES), allowed us to investigate the genetic control of murine immune responses at the T-lymphocyte level. Examination of the blast cells generated in this population 5 days after stimulation with antigen, re...

Linked Control of Antinuclease Specificities

Staphylococcal nuclease is a convenient model antigen for study of the genetics of the antibody response partly because of the large amount of information available about its chemistry and because of its relative simplicity among natural protein antigens. However, we have shown in the accompanying paper (1) that even for nuclease the interpretation of the genetic control of the immune response ...
