Abstract

Ia restriction specificity involved in T cell proliferative responses to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) has been analyzed using a variety of allogeneic bone marrow chimeras. The chimeric mice were prepared by reconstituting irradiated AKR, SJL, B10.BR and B10.A(4R) mice with bone marrow cells from B10 mice. When such chimeric mice had first been primed with KLH in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), T cells from H-2 incompatible fully allogeneic chimeras showed significantly higher responses to KLH in the presence of antigen-presenting cells (APC) of donor strain (B10) than APC of recipient strain. However, in H-2 subregion compatible chimeras, [B10----B10.A(4R)], which were matched at the H-2D locus and at minor histocompatible loci, the T cells could mount vigorous responses to KLH with antigen-presenting cells (APC) of either donor or recipient type. The same results were obtained as well with chimeras that had been thymectomized after full reconstitution of lymphoid tissues by donor-derived cells. A considerable proportion of KLH-specific T cell hybridomas established from [B10----B10.A(4R)] chimeras exhibited both I-Ab and I-Ak restriction specificities. The present findings indicate that the bias to donor Ia type of antige...Continue Reading

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.
