Suppression of antibody responses by cells from mice treated with picryl sulfonic acid: T cells that suppress IgG antibody without inhibiting concomitant IgE responses. 1981

W R Thomas, and M C Watkins, and K O Cox, and G L Asherson

T cells from mice injected with picryl sulfonic acid (PSA) can inhibit the anti-trinitrophenyl (TNP) antibody responses of mice produced after skin painting with picryl chloride (PCl). This had unusual specificity because the cells could inhibit IgG PFC responses in draining lymph nodes by 90% without affecting anti-TNP IgE responses as measured by heterologous adoptive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Although showing specificity for the class of antibody, the suppressors did inhibit IgG antibody responses to another sensitizer, oxazolone, although to a lesser degree. Responses to TNP-KLH, however, were unaffected.

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.

D006462	Hemolytic Plaque Technique	A method to identify and enumerate cells that are synthesizing ANTIBODIES against ANTIGENS or HAPTENS conjugated to sheep RED BLOOD CELLS. The sheep red blood cells surrounding cells secreting antibody are lysed by added COMPLEMENT producing a clear zone of HEMOLYSIS.
