Isolation of a bovine serum albumin-specific T-suppressor cell clone and evaluation of its in vitro functions. 1987

J Degwert, and R Bettmann, and J Heuer, and E Kölsch

This communication describes a newly isolated T-suppressor (Ts) cell clone, BVI/5, derived from a CBA/J mouse tolerized to low doses of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The cells are Thy-1.2+, Lyt-1.1-, Lyt-2.1+, and express endogenous derived I-Ak and I-Ek molecules. BVI/5 Ts cells show antigen-specific I-Ek-restricted proliferation in the presence of antigen-presenting spleen cells. This proliferation can be inhibited by anti-I-Ek but not by anti-I-Ak monoclonal antibodies. In vitro antigen-specific suppressive capacity has been measured in a primed lymph node cell proliferation assay, and the fine specificity of these suppressor functions has been studied. Broader cross-reactivity in the specificity of this effector function is found if compared to the specificity of antigen-induced proliferation. The data extend previous findings on the expression of I-A and I-E molecules on Ts cells and are discussed with respect to the role of those cells in tolerance induction.

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
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

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.

D008815 Mice, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. All animals within an inbred strain trace back to a common ancestor in the twentieth generation.

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.

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.
