Cytokine regulation of human IgG subclass production is not well understood. Since T cells and natural killer (NK) cells produce IL-4 and/or IFN-gamma, we examined the effect of these cells on human IgG subclass concentration in reconstituted severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. SCID mice receiving only B-cell-enriched splenocyte preparations had significantly decreased IgG concentrations and significantly decreased IgG1/IgG2 ratios compared to mice receiving B cells plus T cells (P = 0.02). IgG2 represented 58% of the total IgG at 28 days in mice receiving B-cell-enriched preparations compared to 19% of the total for the group receiving both B cells and T cells (P = 0.013). The effect of natural killer cells (CD16+) on IgG subclass was also studied in this model. IgG2 concentrations were twofold higher in mice receiving CD16-depleted cells compared to controls (P = 0.004). No significant differences were noted for IgG1, IgG3, or IgG4 subclass concentrations. In conclusion, T cells and natural killer cells influence human IgG subclass regulation in the SCID mouse model. We propose that the regulation of human IgG subclass production can be further examined in the SCID model.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

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.

D001402 B-Lymphocytes Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity.

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.

D016513 Mice, SCID Mice homozygous for the mutant autosomal recessive gene "scid" which is located on the centromeric end of chromosome 16. These mice lack mature, functional lymphocytes and are thus highly susceptible to lethal opportunistic infections if not chronically treated with antibiotics. The lack of B- and T-cell immunity resembles severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) syndrome in human infants. SCID mice are useful as animal models since they are receptive to implantation of a human immune system producing SCID-human (SCID-hu) hematochimeric mice.

D017452 Receptors, IgG Specific molecular sites on the surface of various cells, including B-lymphocytes and macrophages, that combine with IMMUNOGLOBULIN Gs. Three subclasses exist: Fc gamma RI (the CD64 antigen, a low affinity receptor), Fc gamma RII (the CD32 antigen, a high affinity receptor), and Fc gamma RIII (the CD16 antigen, a low affinity receptor).
