Antibody-forming cells against DNP (DNP-AFC) appear in nonantigen-stimulated cultures of spleen cells from mice which were boosted with antigen DNP-CGG or TNP-KLH in saline several weeks before the vitro cultures were started. The similar kinetics of the appearance of DNP-AFC in antigen-stimulated and non-antigen-stimulated cultures suggests that new B cells were triggered during the in vitro culture. The data supporting the concept of antigen being retained in the body for long periods of time in the form of antigen-antibody complexes on the T-cell surface is discussed.
在体外培养开始前几周,用抗原二硝基苯基-鸡γ球蛋白(DNP-CGG)或三硝基苯基-钥孔戚血蓝蛋白(TNP-KLH)生理盐水溶液对小鼠进行加强免疫,然后从小鼠脾脏细胞的非抗原刺激培养物中出现了抗二硝基苯基抗体形成细胞(DNP-AFC)。在抗原刺激和非抗原刺激培养物中DNP-AFC出现的相似动力学表明,在体外培养期间新的B细胞被触发。文中讨论了支持抗原以抗原-抗体复合物形式长时间保留在体内T细胞表面这一概念的数据。
