Induction of immunological tolerance in bone marrow-derived lymphocytes of the IgE antibody class. 1973

D H Katz, and T Hamaoka, and B Benacerraf

Administration of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp) determinant conjugated to the "nonimmunogenic" copolymer of D-glutamic acid and D-lysine (D-GL) induces Dnp-specific immunological tolerance which is essentially restricted to bone marrow-derived (B) lymphocytes. Previous studies have demonstrated tolerance induction by Dnp-D-GL in predominantly B lymphocytes of the IgG class. The present studies establish and analyze conditions for tolerance induction in Dnp-specific B lymphocytes of the IgE antibody class by taking advantage of: (i) the relatively easy capacity to induce tolerance with Dnp-D-GL in an animal or cell population previously primed to the Dnp determinant; (ii) previously established parameters for the successful adoptive transfer of Dnp-specific IgE antibody responses; and (iii) the capacity to induce, and maintain a state of Dnp-specific tolerance with Dnp-D-GL in adoptive transfer responses. Using these approaches, we have successfully rendered Dnp-specific B cells of the IgE class profoundly and apparently irreversibly tolerant after exposure of such cells to Dnp-D-GL. These observations represent a starting point of wide potential for solving many therapeutic problems concerned with clinical allergies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
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
D007112 Immunity, Maternally-Acquired Resistance to a disease-causing agent induced by the introduction of maternal immunity into the fetus by transplacental transfer or into the neonate through colostrum and milk.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008815 Mice, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. All animals within an inbred strain trace back to a common ancestor in the twentieth generation.

D010323 Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis An evanescent cutaneous reaction occurring when antibody is injected into a local area on the skin and antigen is subsequently injected intravenously along with a dye. The dye makes the rapidly occurring capillary dilatation and increased vascular permeability readily visible by leakage into the reaction site. PCA is a sensitive reaction for detecting very small quantities of antibodies and is also a method for studying the mechanisms of immediate hypersensitivity.
