Antigen presentation by a B-cell line transfected with cloned immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain genes specific for a defined hapten.

چکیده
The rearranged genes encoding immunoglobulin heavy (mu) and light (kappa) chains specific for the hapten 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (Tnp) were introduced into a B-lymphoma line that bears surface IgG with an unknown specificity and expresses surface Ia molecules. A transformant expressing surface IgM specific for Tnp was obtained. The transformant was found to present Tnp-proteins to antigen (protein)-specific T cells far more efficiently than the parenteral B-lymphoma line. This artificial system, utilizing recombinant DNA technology and gene transfer, provides several approaches for the study of T-cell-B-cell interactions.

Background: Immunoglobulins are a group of proteins that have important role in defense against microorganisms. Immunoglobulins consist of heavy and light chains. In human, immunoglobulin light chain comprises of two isotypes: Kappa (K) and lambda (λ) based on amino acid differences in carboxylic end of their constant region. Marked changes in the K to λ ratio can happen in monocl...
متن کاملClass II-restricted presentation of an immunoglobulin heavy-chain-gene product by a gene-transfected B-cell line.
The presentation of an antigen endogenously processed by B lymphocytes was investigated. The expression plasmid vectors, harboring genomic rearranged V genes from two monoclonal B cells and genomic mu-constant region gene, were constructed. Two B-cell lines, the MOPC104E myeloma mu-heavy chain expressing AMB line and the control hybridoma mu-heavy chain expressing AHB line, were established by ...

We have created mouse-human antibody molecules of defined antigen-binding specificity by taking the variable region genes of a mouse antibody-producing myeloma cell line with known antigen-binding specificity and joining them to human immunoglobulin constant region genes using recombinant DNA techniques. Chimeric genes were constructed that utilized the rearranged and expressed antigen-binding ...

متن کاملImmunoglobulin gene rearrangement and cell surface antigen expression in acute lymphocytic leukemias of T cell and B cell precursor origins.
We have explored the relationship among immunoglobulin gene rearrangement, cytoplasmic immunoglobulin production, and cell surface antigen expression within 37 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia. All 12 cases of the T cell type had germ-line kappa and lambda genes and 11 of 12 had germ-line heavy chain genes. In contrast, all 25 cases of the "non-T, non-B" classification, which lacked both def...
