Abstract

To investigate whether histone-specific T helper (Th) cells that are able to induce anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies can be isolated from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to characterize the cytokine secretion pattern of such Th clones. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from SLE patients and healthy donors were stimulated with autologous apoptotic cell material or purified histones, expanded with interleukin-2 (IL-2), and cloned by limiting dilution. Histone reactivity of clones was examined by histone-specific proliferation and cytokine release. Cytokines were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and CTLL-2 bioassay. Induction of anti-dsDNA antibodies was measured in cocultures of autologous B cells and Th clones by ELISA: Numerous histone-specific T cell receptor (TCR) alpha/beta+ Th clones were established from 2 of 3 patients with active SLE and from 1 of 2 healthy individuals. Most Th clones secreted IL-2, interferon-gamma (IFNgamma), and IL-4, whereas some produced predominantly IL-2 and IFNgamma. Th clones that could stimulate the production of anti-dsDNA antibodies were derived from SLE patients and from a healthy individual. Th cells specific for histones may play...Continue Reading

B cell Tolerance

B cell tolerance is maintained through mechanisms that can reversibly or irreversibly silence autoreactive B lymphocytes. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
