A/J mice were found to produce autoreactive IgM anti-IgG1 in response to secondary immunization with a number of protein antigens. No anti-IgG1 was produced after a single such immunization, indicating that antigen: IgG1 antibody complexes were responsible for inducing the autoreactive response. The size of the anti-IgG1 response was in some cases massive and of the same order of magnitude as the response to the foreign immunizing material. No significant anti-IgG2a, anti-IgG2b, or anti-IgG3 response was found in mice producing anti-IgG1. Virtually all of the anti-IgG1 material produced was of the IgM class and bound to the Fc region of autologous IgG1. A component of the anti-IgG1 was shown to be able to distinguish between the two mouse IgG1 allotypes. These results suggest that self-reactive anti-IgG is a common component of the secondary immune response of mice that may have powerful physiological and immunoregulatory effects.
研究发现,用多种蛋白质抗原对A/J小鼠进行二次免疫后,它们会产生自身反应性IgM抗IgG1。单次进行此类免疫后未产生抗IgG1,这表明抗原:IgG1抗体复合物是诱导自身反应性应答的原因。在某些情况下,抗IgG1应答的规模很大,与对外源免疫物质的应答规模相当。在产生抗IgG1的小鼠中未发现明显的抗IgG2a、抗IgG2b或抗IgG3应答。几乎所有产生的抗IgG1物质都属于IgM类,并与自体IgG1的Fc区域结合。已证明抗IgG1的一个成分能够区分两种小鼠IgG1同种异型。这些结果表明,自身反应性抗IgG是小鼠二次免疫应答的常见成分,可能具有强大的生理和免疫调节作用。
