The biologic activity of molecules synthesized and secreted by hapten-specific inducer T cells was examined. After activation, a single inducer clone secretes both antigen-specific inducer peptides as well as nonspecific factors. The nonspecific factors augment the in vitro response of B cells to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) and Type 2 T-independent antigens. The antigen-specific molecules (ABM) induce plaque-forming cell (PFC) responses in cultures containing ABM, B cells, and antigen that links the epitope recognized by ABM with the B cell epitope. Induction of B cells by ABM is limited to B cells expressing the same I-A allele as the source of the ABM and this reflects binding by ABM to I-A products on B lymphocytes. The data reported here strongly support the view that inducer cells can activate at least some B cells by secretion of a modified form of the T cell surface receptor.
对半抗原特异性诱导性T细胞合成和分泌的分子的生物学活性进行了检测。激活后,单个诱导性克隆既分泌抗原特异性诱导肽,也分泌非特异性因子。这些非特异性因子增强了B细胞对绵羊红细胞(SRBC)和2型非T细胞依赖性抗原的体外反应。抗原特异性分子(ABM)在含有ABM、B细胞以及将ABM识别的表位与B细胞表位相连的抗原的培养物中诱导形成空斑形成细胞(PFC)反应。ABM对B细胞的诱导作用仅限于表达与ABM来源相同I-A等位基因的B细胞,这反映了ABM与B淋巴细胞上的I-A产物的结合。此处报道的数据有力地支持了这样一种观点,即诱导细胞可通过分泌修饰形式的T细胞表面受体激活至少一些B细胞。
