Suppression of IgE antibody production in SJL mice. II. Expression of Ly-1 antigen on helper and nonspecific suppressor T cells. 1977

N Watanabe, and S Kojima, and F W Shen, and Z Ovary

Under appropriate conditions of immunization combined with irradiation, SJL/J mice show a high and persistent anti-DNP IgE antibody response. Spleen cells transferred from normal untreated SJL mice suppress this response. Elimination of Ly-1+ cells, but not of Ly-2+ cells, abolished the capacity of spleen cells to suppress the IgE response. Thus of the three T cell Ly subclasses presently identified, Ly-1, Ly-2,3, and Ly-1,2,3, the normal SJL spleen cell which suppresses the IgE response of irradiated-immunized SJL mice belongs to the Ly-1 set. It is not known whether this Ly-1 cell suppresses the IgE response directly or by helping another cell in the recipient. The carrier-specific helper cell activity for IgE and probably IgG1 antibody response belongs to Ly-1 subclass in the SJL strain also.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007073	Immunoglobulin E	An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE).	IgE
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.

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.

D006725	Hookworm Infections	Infection of humans or animals with hookworms other than those caused by the genus Ancylostoma or Necator, for which the specific terms ANCYLOSTOMIASIS and NECATORIASIS are available.	Bunostomiasis,Infections, Hookworm,Bunostomiases,Hookworm Infection,Infection, Hookworm
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.

D000906	Antibodies	Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
