Immunization of mice with either antibodies bearing the 16/6 idiotype (16/6 Id) or anti-idiotypic antibodies against the 16/6 Id induces experimental systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report here the establishment and characterization of 16/6 Id-specific T-cell lines from C3H.SW (H-2b) and BALB/c (H-2d) mice. Both lines proliferate specifically in response to the 16/6 Id in an H-2-restricted manner. The injection of 16/6 Id-specific T cells into syngeneic mice led to the development of experimental SLE. Furthermore, inoculation of the 16/6 Id-specific T-cell line derived from C3H.SW mice into the H-2 compatible C57BL/6 mice, which are non-responders to the 16/6 Id, induced experimental SLE. This report provides direct evidence for the role of idiotype-specific T cells in the induction of experimental SLE.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007130 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Unique genetically-controlled determinants present on ANTIBODIES whose specificity is limited to a single group of proteins (e.g., another antibody molecule or an individual myeloma protein). The idiotype appears to represent the antigenicity of the antigen-binding site of the antibody and to be genetically codetermined with it. The idiotypic determinants have been precisely located to the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGION of both immunoglobin polypeptide chains.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
