Trinitrophenyl (TNP)-specific humoral response was tested after immunization with TNP-protein conjugates composed of either native proteins or proteins modified by chlorination. Significant enhancement of the hapten-specific response was observed as a result of carrier chlorination. This effect was dose dependent and affected mainly T-helper-cell activation. Since stimulated neutrophils chlorinate in vivo proteins, we propose that they take part in the induction phase of immune response by facilitation of antigen processing and/or presentation.
在用由天然蛋白质或经氯化修饰的蛋白质组成的三硝基苯基(TNP)-蛋白质缀合物免疫后,测试了TNP特异性体液反应。由于载体氯化,观察到半抗原特异性反应显著增强。这种效应呈剂量依赖性,主要影响T辅助细胞的激活。由于受刺激的中性粒细胞在体内使蛋白质氯化,我们提出它们通过促进抗原加工和/或呈递参与免疫反应的诱导阶段。
