An antigen-inhibitable Ab-2 that exhibits internal image activity will selectively stimulate the in vitro production of anti-HBs in individuals with remotely established immunity to hepatitis B virus. This response is seen (1) in the absence of a polyconal increase in total IgG, (2) with the F(ab')2 component of the Ab-2, (3) in cultures depleted of T-cells, and (4) in the absence of stimulation by antigen. This observation demonstrates that the Ab-2-mediated stimulation of specific IgG production may be an important regulatory function in man.
一种具有内影像活性的抗原可抑制性Ab-2将选择性地刺激对乙型肝炎病毒具有远期免疫力的个体体外抗-HBs的产生。这种反应表现为:(1)总IgG无多克隆性增加;(2)与Ab-2的F(ab')2成分有关;(3)在T细胞耗竭的培养物中;(4)在无抗原刺激的情况下。这一观察结果表明,Ab-2介导的特异性IgG产生的刺激可能是人体中的一种重要调节功能。
