The syngeneic mixed leukocyte reaction: an autoreactive self-renewing cellular network for mature T lymphocytes. 1986

G A Dos-Reis

The functional properties of responding T lymphocytes and the nature of the antigenic stimulus in the guinea pig Syngeneic Mixed Leukocyte Reaction (SMLR) are reviewed. The evidence presented here indicates that the SMLR is a polyclonal T cell proliferative response of several distinct antigen-specific clones by virtue of their reactivity with self Ia (I-region-encoded antigens) molecules expressed by accessory cells. Clonal analysis of SMLR-responding cells indicates that individual T cell colonies proliferate in response to syngeneic, unmodified macrophages, but not in response to I-region-disparate macrophages. This autoreactive response of T cell colonies cannot be ascribed to exposure to any extrinsic antigen, and is completely blocked by monoclonal anti-Ia antibodies. Each individual SMLR-T cell colony recognizes a particular Ia epitope on the autologous stimulating cell. Clonal analysis of extrinsic antigen-specific responses revealed three types of proliferating T cell colonies: antigen-specific, Ia-restricted; autoreactive, Ia-restricted; and antigen-specific/autoreactive, Ia-restricted. The finding of T cell colonies with antigen specificity but that could also be stimulated by Ia alone lends support to the hypothesis that the SMLR is a polyclonal T cell response to self Ia molecules. The possible in vivo attributes of the SMLR, and its main effector and regulatory mechanisms are discussed in terms of these findings.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007156 Immunologic Memory The altered state of immunologic responsiveness resulting from initial contact with antigen, which enables the individual to produce antibodies more rapidly and in greater quantity in response to secondary antigenic stimulus. Immune Memory,Immunological Memory,Memory, Immunologic,Immune Memories,Immunologic Memories,Immunological Memories,Memory, Immune,Memory, Immunological
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008285 Major Histocompatibility Complex The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement.

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.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
