Antigen-specific T-cell factors are mediator molecules which are produced by helper and suppressor T cells and which can perform the function of those cells in an antigen-specific manner. They probably play an important part in immunoregulation. The major histocompatibility complex has a controlling influence on their structure and activity, while their antigen-recognition properties may be conferred by immunoglobulin V regions. Interest in the factors derives from three related areas of research, namely (i) the problem of T-cell recognition of antigen; (ii) the mechanisms of cellular interactions in antibody production and cell-mediated immunity; and (iii) the genetic control of immune responses. This review discusses the literature up to June 1980 on their production, structure, genetic restriction and mechanism of action.
抗原特异性T细胞因子是由辅助性T细胞和抑制性T细胞产生的介导分子,它们能够以抗原特异性方式发挥这些细胞的功能。它们可能在免疫调节中起重要作用。主要组织相容性复合体对其结构和活性具有控制作用,而其抗原识别特性可能由免疫球蛋白V区赋予。对这些因子的兴趣源于三个相关研究领域,即(i)T细胞对抗原的识别问题;(ii)抗体产生和细胞介导免疫中细胞相互作用的机制;以及(iii)免疫反应的遗传控制。本综述讨论了截至1980年6月关于它们的产生、结构、遗传限制和作用机制的文献。
