TOLERANCE AND IMMUNITY TO MATERNALLY DERIVED INCOMPATIBLE IgG2a-GLOBULIN IN MICE
نویسندگان
چکیده
Progeny mice were confronted with maternal gamma-globulin of a different allotype by either back-cross mating, intercross mating, or by foster nursing. In all cases, many mice subsequently produced alloantibodies directed against the incompatible maternal type of IgG(2a)-globulin. In one series of experiments, immunologic tolerance to the maternally derived gamma-globulin was demonstrated to exist in the period before formation of spontaneous antibody. The state of tolerance was then lost, unless maintenance injections of foreign gamma-globulin were given. These studies demonstrate in a natural situation that maternally derived foreign proteins can first induce a state of immunological tolerance which is followed, after disappearance of the antigen, by a state of immunity. As such, this parallels the experimental induction of tolerance to foreign proteins by neonatal injections.

Immunity and Tolerance to a Hapten (nip) Coupled to an Isologous Carrier (mouse Gamma Globulin)
A hapten, 4-hydroxy-3-iodo-5-nitrophenylacetic acid (NIP) when coupled to isologous mouse gamma globulin (MgammaG) elicits a hapten-specific immune response in mice if administered in Freund's complete adjuvant. This response is measurable by the capacity of the sera to bind N(125)IP, by detection of NIP-specific plaque-forming cells (B cells), and by in vitro secondary type antigen-driven DNA ...
متن کاملImmune responses to the HLA-A*0201-restricted epitopes of tyrosinase and glycoprotein 100 enable control of melanoma outgrowth in HLA-A*0201-transgenic mice.
Many of the Ags recognized by human melanoma-reactive CTL are derived from proteins that are also expressed in melanocytes. The possibility of self-tolerance to these epitopes has led to questions about their utility for antitumor immunotherapy. To investigate the issue, we established a preclinical model based on transgenic mice expressing a recombinant HLA-A*0201 molecule and B16 melanoma tra...
متن کاملAn antagonistic IL-4 mutant prevents type I allergy in the mouse: inhibition of the IL-4/IL-13 receptor system completely abrogates humoral immune response to allergen and development of allergic symptoms in vivo.
We have analyzed in vivo effects of the murine IL-4 mutant Q116D/Y119D (QY), which forms unproductive complexes with IL-4Ralpha and is an antagonist for IL-4 and IL-13 in vitro. Treatment of BALB/c mice with QY during immunization with OVA completely inhibited synthesis of OVA-specific IgE and IgG1. BALB/c-derived knockout mice lacking either IL-4 or IL-4Ralpha also did not develop specific IgE...
متن کاملSuccessful transmission and transcriptional deployment of a human chromosome via mouse male meiosis
Most human aneuploidies originate maternally, due in part to the presence of highly stringent checkpoints during male meiosis. Indeed, male sterility is common among aneuploid mice used to study chromosomal abnormalities, and male germline transmission of exogenous DNA has been rarely reported. Here we show that, despite aberrant testis architecture, males of the aneuploid Tc1 mouse strain prod...
متن کاملLow Dose Antigen Exposure for a Finite Period in Newborn Rats Prevents Induction of Mucosal Tolerance
BACKGROUND In adult rats, initial exposure to antigens by a mucosal route triggers tolerance such that any subsequent re-exposure, even by a systemic route, results in suppression of immunity. The newborn's gut is semi-permeable for a finite period to allow maternal antibodies to enter the newborn's circulation. We propose that antigens introduced in extreme early life can readily traverse the ...
