T-independent form of azophenylarsonate fails to reveal "silent" idiotype-positive B cells in idiotype-suppressed mice. 1987

J D Conger, and H K Simon

In three distinct chronic Ig-specific suppression systems in which suppression was initiated by injection of mice with anti-idiotype (Id) or anti-allotype sera, evidence has been presented by others that the differentiation of B cells bearing surface Ig with a target marker (Id or allotype) need not be totally disrupted. Normally "silent" Id+ B cells from Id-suppressed mice could be revealed by certain procedures, one of these being to make use of the powerful stimulatory properties of bacterial lipopolysaccharide. We have employed a similar strategy to determine whether cryptic CRIA+ B cells exist in significant numbers in hyperimmune, CRI-suppressed (HIS) A/J mice. Thus, following T cell removal, the Ar-specific B cell repertoire from HIS mice was probed using Ar- Brucella abortus as a T-independent Ag. No evidence for "silent" CRIA+ B cells was found. The results, taken in conjunction with those of others, suggests that there may exist multiple forms of long-term Ig-specific suppression.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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.

D007156	Immunologic Memory	The altered state of immunologic responsiveness resulting from initial contact with antigen, which enables the individual to produce antibodies more rapidly and in greater quantity in response to secondary antigenic stimulus.

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.

D002003	Brucella abortus	A species of the genus BRUCELLA whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. Other mammals, including humans, may be infected.	Bacterium abortus,Brucella melitensis biovar abortus
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.
