The antigen-induced [14C]-thymidine incorporation of murine lymph node cells (LNC) that were non-adherent (NAD) or adherent (AD) to nylon wool was studied. In contrast to NAD-LNC, AD-LNC responded like unfractionated LNC, and these responses were T lymphocyte dependent. By co-culturing NAD-LNC with subpopulations of AD-LNC the cellular requirements and interactions necessary for maximal incorporation of [14C]-thymidine were determined. A synergistic effect was observed when NAD-LNC and AD-LNC were co-cultured. Synergism was not dependent on T lymphocytes or macrophages in the AD-LNC population but was associated with the B lymphocyte subpopulation. These results indicate that the number of B lymphocytes present in a population of LNC can significantly influence the magnitude of the response to antigen.
研究了对尼龙毛不粘附(NAD)或粘附(AD)的小鼠淋巴结细胞(LNC)的抗原诱导的[14C] - 胸苷掺入情况。与NAD - LNC不同,AD - LNC的反应类似于未分离的LNC,且这些反应依赖于T淋巴细胞。通过将NAD - LNC与AD - LNC亚群共培养,确定了[14C] - 胸苷最大掺入所需的细胞需求和相互作用。当NAD - LNC和AD - LNC共培养时观察到协同效应。协同作用不依赖于AD - LNC群体中的T淋巴细胞或巨噬细胞,而是与B淋巴细胞亚群相关。这些结果表明,LNC群体中存在的B淋巴细胞数量可显著影响对抗原的反应强度。
