Epitope-Specific Suppression of IgG Responses by Passively Administered Specific IgG: Evidence of Epitope Masking
Specific IgG, passively administered together with particulate antigen, can completely prevent induction of antibody responses to this antigen. The ability of IgG to suppress antibody responses to sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) is intact in mice lacking FcγRs, complement factor 1q, C3, or complement receptors 1 and 2, suggesting that Fc-dependent effector functions are not involved. Two of the m...
متن کاملEpitope-specific regulation. I. Carrier-specific induction of suppression for IgG anti-hapten antibody responses
The epitope-specific regulatory system selectively controls IgG antibody production to the individual (haptenic) determinants on a complex antigen. This system can be specifically induced to suppress primary and secondary IgG antibody responses to dinitrophenyl hapten (DNP) without interfering with antibody responses to epitopes on the carrier molecule on which the DNP is presented. Furthermore...
متن کاملLinear PADRE T helper epitope and carbohydrate B cell epitope conjugates induce specific high titer IgG antibody responses.
Linear carbohydrate-peptide constructs based on the 13 amino acid nonnatural pan DR epitope (PADRE) and carbohydrate B cell epitopes are demonstrated to be potent immunogens. These data support our belief that PADRE should be considered as an alternative to more complex carriers for use in prophylaxis and therapeutic vaccines. Two model carbohydrate-PADRE glycoconjugates were used to demonstrat...
متن کاملCharacterisation of anti-IgG monoclonal antibody A57H by epitope mapping.
Monoclonal antibodies have proved powerful tools in serological techniques and as probes for elucidating the antigenic determinants of macromolecules and cells. However an inherent problem of these reagents is the phenomenon of assay restriction, where a given antibody may perform well in some assays, whilst being poor or ineffective in others [I] . Thus stringent evaluation of a monoclonal ant...
متن کاملEpitope-specific antibody and suppression of autoantibody responses against a hybrid self protein.
This study addresses the relationship of epitope-specific Ab responses and alternative autoantibody responses in a model system in which an antigenized self protein serves as the carrier for a defined heterologous B cell epitope. Ubiquitin, a nonimmunogenic self protein, was engineered to present heterologous B and T cell epitopes in the recombinant molecule. Fusion to the C terminus introduced...
