A range of purified rabbit anti-Micrococcus luteus antibodies (anti-MCAb) were tested for their ability to interfere with a variety of in vitro immune responses. Such antibodies strongly inhibited the secondary IgG antibody response to sheep red blood cells without affecting the IgM response or the proliferative responses to mitogens and antigens. By exposing lymphocyte populations to anti-MCAb, it was found that such reagents exerted a strong mitogenic effect on rabbit T lymphocytes, provided these cells were derived from antigen-activated lymph nodes. This mitogenic effect was also obtained with F(ab')2 fragments of anti-MCAb and with hybridoma-derived anti-MCAb. Collectively, these data indicate that anti-MCAb inhibit the initiation of IgG synthesis possibly through the expansion of immunoregulatory T cell subsets.
