Immunological tolerance to H antigens of Salmonella adelaide may be induced in vitro by the exposure of mouse spleen cells for 6 hr to an immunogenic dose of polymerized flagellin in the presence of low concentrations of specific antibody. Such antibody-mediated tolerance requires an optimal antigen: antibody ratio for its induction. A shift in this ratio in favor of the antibody concentration results in failure of tolerance induction and leads to immune suppression commonly known as antibody-mediated feedback inhibition which is not analogous to immunological tolerance. Fragment A of flagellin fails to induce immunological tolerance in vitro. Tolerance to polymerized flagellin may however be induced in vitro, provided the spleen cells are exposed to fragment A in the presence of specific antibody for 6 hr. The results are discussed in the light of current theories of the mechanism of tolerance induction.
在低浓度特异性抗体存在的情况下,将小鼠脾细胞暴露于免疫原剂量的聚合鞭毛蛋白6小时,可在体外诱导对阿德莱德沙门氏菌H抗原的免疫耐受。这种抗体介导的耐受诱导需要最佳的抗原:抗体比例。该比例向有利于抗体浓度的方向转变会导致耐受诱导失败,并导致通常称为抗体介导的反馈抑制的免疫抑制,这与免疫耐受不同。鞭毛蛋白的A片段在体外不能诱导免疫耐受。然而,如果脾细胞在特异性抗体存在的情况下暴露于A片段6小时,则可在体外诱导对聚合鞭毛蛋白的耐受。根据目前关于耐受诱导机制的理论对结果进行了讨论。
