Suppression of adult B cell differentiation in pokeweed mitogen-stimulated cultures by Fc(IgG) receptor-negative T cells from cord blood. 1979

N Moriya, and T Nagaoki, and N Okuda, and N Taniguchi

Unfractionated T lymphocytes from cord blood suppressed adult B cell differentiation into immunoglobulin-producing cells in pokeweed mitogen-stimulated co-culture system. Cord blood T cells were fractionated into T cells bearing Fc receptors for IgG (Tgamma cells) and T cells lacking Fc receptors for IgG(Tnon-gamma cells) by rosette formation with ox erythrocytes coated by the IgG fraction of rabbit antisera followed by Ficoll-Hypaque gradient sedimentation. T gamma cells from cord blood, even though isolated after the interaction with immune complexes, showed no suppressor activity on adult B cell differentiation, whereas Tnon-gamma cells exerted strong suppression to a similar extent to that by unfractionated cord T cells. The suppressor activity on B cell differentiation by Tnon-gamma cell as well as by unfractioned T cells from cord blood was completely abrogated by irradiation with 2000 rads. These results indicated that, contrary to suppressor function found in adult T cells, the suppressor activity in cord T cells might be exerted by a T cell subset lacking Fc receptors for IgG(Tnon-gamma cells).
