We used a cloned, TNP-specific, MHC-restricted, human Th cell line, E-11, and an assay of cognate Th-B cell interaction, BLAST-2 antigen expression on the B cell surface, to investigate the functional nature of the Th cell antigen receptor. We observed that E-11 induces BLAST-2 expression by resting B cells in a hapten-dependent, hapten-specific, but MHC nonrestricted manner. The implication of these results for the Th cell receptor are discussed.
我们使用了一个克隆的、针对三硝基苯(TNP)特异性的、受主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)限制的人T辅助(Th)细胞系E-11,以及一种同源Th-B细胞相互作用的检测方法,即B细胞表面BLAST-2抗原的表达,来研究Th细胞抗原受体的功能特性。我们观察到,E-11以半抗原依赖、半抗原特异性但不受MHC限制的方式诱导静息B细胞表达BLAST-2。讨论了这些结果对Th细胞受体的意义。
