چکیده

Human T cell helper/inducer clones were used to induce IgE synthesis in B cells from both allergic and nonallergic donors. An alloreactive T cell clone, activated by recognition of specific HLA-DR antigens, stimulated peripheral blood B cells from both allergic and nonallergic donors to synthesize IgE antibody. B cells of allergic donors differed from those of nonallergic donors in their requirements for induction of IgE synthesis. Induction of IgE synthesis in B cells from nonallergic individuals occurred only under conditions of cognate interaction, in which the B cells expressed the alloantigen recognized by the T cells. In contrast, IgE synthesis in B cells from allergic donors occurred under conditions of cognate interaction with T cells as well as bystander conditions where the B cells did not express the alloantigen recognized by the T cell clones and where the T cell clones were stimulated by third-party monocytes bearing the relevant alloantigens. Furthermore, bystander stimulation of IgE synthesis in allergic donors occurred in the presence of tetanus toxoid (TT) antigen-specific T cell clones activated by the appropriate TT-pulsed monocytes. In contrast to the differing requirements of B cells from normal vs. allergic subjects for the induction of IgE synthesis, these B cells did not differ in their requirements for the induction of IgG synthesis. IgG synthesis was induced in all B cells under conditions of cognate interaction with the T cells as well as under conditions of bystander stimulation. These results suggest that cognate T-B cell interactions may be important in the development of IgE immune responses in the normal host.

Induction of IgE synthesis in normal human B cells. Sequential requirements for activation by an alloreactive T cell clone and IgE- potentiating factors

Two human alloreactive T cell clones were established from a one-way mixed lymphocyte culture involving two nonatopic donors, and were assessed for their capacity to induce IgE synthesis by B cells obtained from the original stimulator. The two alloreactive T cell clones studied induced IgG but not IgE synthesis in normal B cells. However, one of the two clones, clone 2H6, induced IgE synthesis...

Induction of human IgE synthesis requires interleukin 4 and T/B cell interactions involving the T cell receptor/CD3 complex and MHC class II antigens

The induction of IgE synthesis by IL-4 requires T cells and monocytes, as well as T cell- and monocyte-derived cytokines. Optimal cytokine combinations, however, fail to induce highly purified B cells to secrete IgE, indicating that additional signals are required. We show herein that the induction of human IgE synthesis by rIL-4 requires cognate interaction between the T cell receptor/CD3 comp...

Induction of human IgE synthesis by CD4+ T cell clones. Requirement for interleukin 4 and low molecular weight B cell growth factor

We have analyzed in detail the precise requirements for the induction of human IgE synthesis using several experimental approaches with purified B cells and well-characterized alloantigen-specific CD4+ T cell clones expressing different profiles of lymphokine secretion. Using these clones under cognate conditions in which the B cells expressed alloantigens recognized by the cloned T cells, we h...
