Regulation of anti-hapten antibody secretion by carrier-specific suppressor T cells. 1978

R W Warren, and R C Griffith, and J M Davie

Carrier-primed T lymphocytes can suppress high avidity IgG anti-hapten antibody secretion within 90 min. in vitro if the suppressor and target cells are primed with the same carrier determinants. Suppression seems to be directed to the antibody secreting cell since the effect is rapid and does not depend on macrophages or T cells in the target cell population. Suppression can be blocked by inclusion of soluble carrier in the cell mixture or by treatment of the target cells with anti-carrier antibody or pronase. Moreover, suppression can be augmented by PFC exposure to the soluble hapten-carrier conjugate. Finally, carrier specificity may be altered by preincubation of the target population with a hapten-heterologous carrier before addition of suppressor cells specific for the heterologous carrier. Thus, it is likely that high avidity suppression depends upon immunogen bound to the surfaces of antibody secreting cells which serves as a target for suppressor cells or molecules.

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.

D006433 Hemocyanins Metalloproteins that function as oxygen transport proteins in the HEMOLYMPH of MOLLUSKS and ARTHROPODS. They are characterized by two copper atoms, coordinated with HISTIDINE residues, that reversibly bind a single oxygen molecule; they do not contain HEME groups.

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).
