T cell independent antigens

Current Opinion in Immunology

Abstract

T cell independent antigens type 2 (TI-2), which are represented predominantly by polysaccharide antigens, stimulate humoral antibody responses in the absence of T-cell help. We and others have recently reported that natural killer cells and/or natural killer cell derived lymphokines may provide a form of 'help' that is necessary for the induction and maintenance of TI-2 responses. Two natural killer cell derived lymphokines, interferon-gamma and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, show synergistic stimulatory activity in inducing Ig secretion in B cells stimulated by a multivalent ligand that mimics TI-2 antigens. The recent finding that natural killer cells have receptors for various classes of polysaccharides supports a role for these cells in regulating responses to TI-2 antigens.
