Histocompatibility Type and Immune Responsiveness in Random Bred Hartley Strain Guinea Pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Outbred Hartley strain guinea pigs capable of responding immunologically to 2,4-dinitrophenylated poly-L-lysine were shown to display a histocompatibility specificity in common with inbred strain 2 guinea pigs. This histocompatibility specificity was not detected in guinea pigs unable to respond immunologically to DNP-PLL. The result suggests that the poly-L-lysine specific immune response gene is very closely linked or even identical with a gene determining a major histocompatibility antigen in guinea pigs.

Histocompatibility-linked specific immune response (Jr) I genes, controlling the ability to develop cellular and humoral immune responses, have been identified in guinea pigs and mice (1). Two experimental approaches used to identify Ir genes and to investigate their function have been the study of immunogenicity of synthetic polypeptides of limited structural diversity, and the study of the im...
متن کاملGenetic control of the immune response of guinea pigs to limiting doses of bovine serum albumin: relationship to the poly-L-lysine gene.
The response of strain 2 guinea pigs to limiting doses of bovine serum albumin is under dominant genetic control linked with the poly-L-lysine gene. Inbred strains 2 and 13 guinea pigs make similar antibody responses to 10 mug bovine serum albumin, whereas strain 2 but not strain 13 animals produce significant amounts of antibodies in response to 0.1 mug. The relationship between the presence o...

Guinea pigs of two strains, outbTed Hartley and inbred Strain 2, were immunized subcutaneously with cephalothin (CET, 20 mglbody) alone, without adjuvant. Immune responses to the antibiotic were assessed by guinea-pig passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (GP-PCA) and active systemic anaphylaxis (GP-ASA) reactions. The immune response to CET in the female Hartley guinea pigs was higher than that in the...
متن کاملT H E Behavior of Hapten-poly-l-lysine Conjugates as Complete Antigens in Genetic Responder and as Haptens in Nonresponder Guinea Pigs* by Ira Green,$ M.d., William E. Paul,§ M.d., Ai~d
About 30 to 40 % of random bred Hartley strain (1) and all strain 2 guinea pigs (2) recognize hapten-poly-I.-lysine conjugates (H-PLL) as antigens. Strain 13 guinea pigs (2), mice, rats, and rabbits (3) do not make an immune response to these compounds. The immune response of guinea pigs to H-PLL conjugates has been shown to" be controlled by a dominant autosomal gene (2, 4). Contrasting with t...

The immunogenicity of three random copolymers of amino acids with L-glutamic acid and L-alanine (GA), L-glutamic acid and L-tyrosine (GT), or L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, and L-tyrosine (GAT), administered in complete Freund's adjuvant, was studied in several inbred and random-bred guinea pig strains. The animals were tested for delayed sensitivity and their sera were assayed for the presence of...
