Antigen non-specific activities in culture supernatant of ovalbumin-specific, cloned helper T lymphoma. 1985

E Yefenof, and R Feinman, and E Kedar

Antigen non-specific activities in culture supernatants from clones of a radiation leukemia virus transformed, ovalbumin-specific helper T lymphoma were studied. After stimulation with ovalbumin-pulsed macrophages, these clones release factor(s) capable of providing carrier-specific help for anti-hapten antibody responses. It was found that in addition to IL 2-like activity, one clone constitutively released a suppressive factor that could inhibit polyclonal growth and differentiation of B cells stimulated with LPS. The factor inhibited activation of both syngeneic and allogeneic B cells directly, rather than via activation of accessory suppressor T lymphocytes. However, upon dilution of the supernatant, B cell growth and differentiation activities were detected. A role for a polyclonal B cell suppressor factor in the overall helper activity of the clone is proposed.

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
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.
