T cell regulation of IgG subclass antibody production in response to T- independent antigens
The effect of T lymphocytes on the IgM, IgG3, IgG1, IgG2b, and IgG2a responses of B lymphocytes to the type-2 T-independent antigens, trinitrophenylated (TNP)-Ficoll, and TNP-Levan, was investigated. T cell-bearing nu/+ mice were found to produce substantially higher IgG2 serum anti-TNP antibody than their athymic counterparts, and nu/nu and nu/+ IgG2a titers exhibiting more disparity than nu/n...
متن کاملRegulation of T-cell-independent and T-cell-dependent antibody production by circadian rhythm and melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone that has immunomodulatory activity and is believed to influence the production of antibodies in mammals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of suppressed melatonin synthesis on the antibody production. BALB/c mice were immunized with T-cell-dependent (TD) and T-cell-independent (TI) antigens and kept under (i) normal lighting, (ii) constant exposur...
متن کاملDecreased T Cell Response to Mitogen and Increased Anti-cytoplasmic Antibody in Drug-Free Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Apart from genetic and environmental factors, activation of autoreactive mechanisms has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In re-cent years, considerable work has been carried out to understand the role and contribution of the immune system in this disease. Objective: To investigate the T cell response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and determine the se...
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 کاملRegulation of Responses to T - Independent Type 2 Antigens
Regulation of the immune response by genes located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) a has been extensively investigated (1-5). As a result of these studies, it has been concluded that the Ir genes of the M H C code for cell surface structures termed Ia antigens. Recognition of appropriate Ia determinants on antigen-presenting cells by Ly-1 + T cells is required for successful induc...
