In vitro synthesis of IgE by human peripheral blood leucocytes. II modulation of IgE B cell activity by isotype-specific regulatory T cells. 1981

G H Holt, and K J Turner, and B J Holt

IgE and IgG synthesis was demonstrated in cultures of isolated B cells from normal subjects, and those manifesting mild to severe atopy. Titration of autochthonous T cells into B cell cultures revealed both IgE isotype-specific T-help and T-suppression at low and high T:B ratios respectively. Increasing levels of help for IgG synthesis usually accompanied the stepwise addition of the same T cells to autochthonous or allogeneic B cells cultures. Experiments comparing the activity of putative IgE suppressor T cells in autochthonous versus allogeneic B cell cultures indicated that allogeneic interactions per se selectively inhibit IgE B cells. This finding seriously questions earlier conclusions of a causal relationship between suppressor cell deficiency and the expression of the allergic phenotype.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
