Suppression of the cytotoxic T cell response to minor alloantigens in vivo. Linked recognition by suppressor T cells. 1984

N R Gascoigne, and I N Crispe

This report describes the activity of transferable suppressor T cells (Ts) generated in vivo in response to minor alloantigens. These Ts cells are antigen specific in both primary and secondary in vivo cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses to minor alloantigens and are the result of a host response rather than of a graft-vs.-host reaction. The Ts cells are produced soon after immunization and their activity is transient. They act via "linked recognition", since they can suppress the cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to noncross-reactive minor antigens, but only if these are presented on the same antigenic cell. A model for dominant low responsiveness in (high X low responder)F1 animals is proposed, whereby Ts cells, activated via the low responder allele, work by linked recognition to suppress helper cells activated via the high responder allele.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008040 Genetic Linkage The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME.

D008912 Minor Histocompatibility Loci Genetic loci responsible for the encoding of histocompatibility antigens other than those encoded by the MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX. The antigens encoded by these genes are often responsible for graft rejection in cases where histocompatibility has been established by standard tests. The location of some of these loci on the X and Y chromosomes explains why grafts from males to females may be rejected while grafts from females to males are accepted. In the mouse roughly 30 minor histocompatibility loci have been recognized, comprising more than 500 genes.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

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.
