Differences in T15 expression of primary and secondary anti-PC responses with T cells from T15+ and T15- donors. 1985

S K Smyk, and M K McNamara, and K S Gleason, and H Kohler

The expression of T15 idiotype dominance with T cells from T15- mice was investigated. It was found that T15 dominance in the T-dependent response to phosphorylcholine (PC) could be generated by unprimed BALB/c B cells with T cells from T15+ and xid T15- mice. T15 dominance was also expressed when T15 neonatally suppressed BALB/c were used as T cell donors. With PC-primed B cells, however, T15 dominance was not established until 3 wk after adoptive co-transfer with T helper cells from xid NBF1 mice. To further study the different efficiencies of T cells for T15 dominance, limiting dilution analysis was performed. The data demonstrate that T15-specific T cell populations in BALB/c mice and NBF1 male mice differ in their precursor frequencies. In BALB/c mice, a frequent set of T15/M167-recognizing T helper cells is present; a corresponding frequent set of cells is absent in NBF1 males. This difference is likely to be one of the reasons why dominance is not immediately established after transfer of T cells from xid mice.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
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. Idiotypes, Immunoglobulin,Ig Idiotypes,Idiotype, Ig,Idiotype, Immunoglobulin,Idiotypes, Ig,Ig Idiotype,Immunoglobulin Idiotype
D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

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.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
