The findings of previous studies in this laboratory demonstrating that conjugates of human monoclonal (myeloma) IgG (HIgG) and monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG) were able to induce in mice antigen-specific tolerance and CD8+ suppressor T (Ts) cells were confirmed in the present study. An extract (TsF) of a nonhybridized clone of Ts cells (viz., clone 23.32), which had been derived from spleen cells of mice tolerized with HIgG(mPEG)26, was shown to possess antigen-specific suppressive activity. This monoclonal TsF was able to specifically suppress in vitro antibody formation only if it was present from the beginning of the culture. From the results of the cellular dissection of the system used it was concluded that (i) the TsF had no effect on fully differentiated primed B cells or plasma cells, and (ii) the TsF inactivated carrier-primed Th cells when the culture contained concomitantly naive CD8+ T cells, accessory cells, and antigen. These data support the view that the monoclonal TsF exerted its downregulating effect on Th cells only if it could first interact with a CD8+ T cell, in the presence of accessory cells and antigen.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D006377 T-Lymphocytes, Helper-Inducer Subpopulation of CD4+ lymphocytes that cooperate with other lymphocytes (either T or B) to initiate a variety of immune functions. For example, helper-inducer T-cells cooperate with B-cells to produce antibodies to thymus-dependent antigens and with other subpopulations of T-cells to initiate a variety of cell-mediated immune functions.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000938 Antigen-Presenting Cells A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.

D013154 Spleen An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
D013491 Suppressor Factors, Immunologic Proteins, protein complexes, or glycoproteins secreted by suppressor T-cells that inhibit either subsequent T-cells, B-cells, or other immunologic phenomena. Some of these factors have both histocompatibility (I-J) and antigen-specific domains which may be linked by disulfide bridges. They can be elicited by haptens or other antigens and may be mass-produced by hybridomas or monoclones in the laboratory.
