Murine B-cell subpopulations responsive to T-dependent and T- independent antigens
Strain A/J mice made secondary indirect plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses to azobenzenearsonate (ABA) conjugates of giant keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), a thymic-dependent antigen, but not to conjugates of Ficoll, a T-independent antigen. ABA-Ficoll was also unable to elicit a response in animals primed with ABA-KLH, which have an expanded anti-ABA memory cell pool. On the other hand, ABA-F...
متن کاملT-independent and T-dependent steps in the murine B cell response to antiimmunoglobulin
Sepharose-anti-Ig and purified populations of small, high-density B cells have been used to study the formation and function of B lymphoblasts. Sepharose-anti-Ig converts small, Ia-poor B cells with a high-buoyant density to large, Ia-rich, B blasts with a low-buoyant density. We find that this response proceeds efficiently in the absence of IL-4 (BSF-1) as well as most T cells, macrophages, an...
متن کاملT-independent antibody responses to T-dependent antigens: a novel follicular dendritic cell-dependent activity.
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) periodically arrange membrane-bound immune complexes (ICs) of T-dependent Ags 200-500A apart, and in addition to Ag, they provide B cells with costimulatory signals. This prompted the hypothesis that Ag in FDC-ICs can simultaneously cross-link multiple BCRs and induce T cell-independent (TI) B cell activation. TI responses are characterized by rapid IgM product...
متن کاملRole of the major histocompatibility complex in T cell activation of B cell subpopulations. Ir gene regulation of the T cell-dependent activation of distinct B cell subpopulations.
Antibody responses to (T,G)-A--L and (H,G)-A--L or to the TNP conjugates of these polypeptides, are regulated in the mouse by Ir genes encoded in the I-A subregion of the mouse MHC. To study the mechanism by which Ir genes function, it is essential to identify the cell interactions that are regulated by these genes. In the present report, it was specifically determined whether Ir gene function ...
متن کاملA protease-dependent mechanism for initiating T-dependent B cell responses to large particulate antigens.
Ab production is critical for antimicrobial immunity, and the initial step in this process is the binding of Ag to the BCR. It has been shown that small soluble proteins can directly access the lymph node follicles to reach naive B cells, but virus particles must be translocated into follicles via subcapsular sinus macrophages. In this article, we explore how large particulate Ags generate humo...
