Dissociation of H-2 recognition by antibody and cytotoxic T cells of a cloned murine leukemia cell line

Abstract

The differential expression of H-2 specificities recognized by antibody and by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been studied using a clone (FY7) of the C57BL/6 leukemia cell line FBL-3 (H-2b/H-2b). Unlike C57BL/10 spleen cells, EL-4 lymphoma cells and Y57-2C leukemia cells (all H-2b/H-2b), FY7 failed to induce the primary in vitro generation of anti-H-2b CTL by (B10.A x A)F1 (H-2a/H-2a) or B10.D2 x BALB/c)F1 (H-2d/H-2d) responder spleen cells. In addition, FY7 was not lysed by, and did not competitively inhibit anti-H-2b CTL. Quantitative absorption tests with H-2Kb and H-2Db antisera revealed that FY7 expressed these antigens in quantitatively similar amounts to EL-4. The H-2Kb product of FY7 appeared to be identical with that of C57BL/10 spleen cells both in apparent molecular weight and isoelectric point. Yet FY7 failed to inhibit anti-H-2Kb CTL competitively in a cold target inhibition assay. Possible mechanisms are discussed for the lack of T-lymphocyte recognition of the H-2Kb-gene product expressed by FY7.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
