The present study deals with the immunological response in man after passive immunization against tetanus toxoid. Treatment of man with equine antitetanus serum stimulates a rise of E rosette-forming T lymphocytes. The level of IgG also rises while the level of IgM falls. It is assumed that the foreign globulin acts as an antigen that evokes the T lymphocytes' co-operation for the humoral immune response with a switch from IgM to IgG synthesis.
本研究探讨了人体被动免疫破伤风类毒素后的免疫反应。用人抗破伤风血清治疗人体会刺激形成E玫瑰花结的T淋巴细胞数量增加。IgG水平升高,而IgM水平下降。据推测,外源球蛋白作为一种抗原,可引发T淋巴细胞的协同作用,以促进体液免疫反应,使免疫球蛋白的合成从IgM转换为IgG。
