Feedback suppression of the primary humoral immune response to sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) in vitro was induced with cell-free supernate material derived from antigen-(SRBC) activated B (sIg+) cells. This soluble products bears Ig determinants and binds to the eliciting antigen (SRBC). The activity of this antibody in suppressing anti-SRBC plaque-forming cell responses is restricted to spleen cell cultures containing B cells sharing VH genes with the B cells producing the suppressive antibody. The anti-hapten (trinitrophenyl) response to derivatized SRBC is not affected by antigen-primed B cells or their products. These data are compatible with suppression being mediated by anti-antigen antibody, either (a) via blockade of different SRBC epitopes recognized by a limited set of B cell clones in each mouse strain, (b) via triggering of an anti-idiotypic response, either antibody or suppressor T cell in nature, restricted to activity in cultures containing B cells sharing VH structures with the original antibody, or (c) via interference by preformed antibody with T cell help directed at idiotype bearing B cells.
用源自抗原(绵羊红细胞)激活的B(表面免疫球蛋白阳性)细胞的无细胞上清液材料,在体外诱导对绵羊红细胞(SRBC)的初次体液免疫应答的反馈抑制。这种可溶性产物带有免疫球蛋白决定簇,并与引发抗原(SRBC)结合。这种抗体在抑制抗SRBC空斑形成细胞应答中的活性,仅限于含有与产生抑制性抗体的B细胞共享重链可变区(VH)基因的B细胞的脾细胞培养物。对衍生化SRBC的抗半抗原(三硝基苯基)应答不受抗原致敏的B细胞或其产物的影响。这些数据与抑制作用由抗抗原抗体介导相一致,其方式为:(a)通过阻断每个小鼠品系中一组有限的B细胞克隆所识别的不同SRBC表位;(b)通过引发抗独特型应答,该应答本质上为抗体或抑制性T细胞,仅限于在含有与原始抗体共享VH结构的B细胞的培养物中发挥活性;或(c)通过预先形成的抗体干扰针对带有独特型的B细胞的T细胞辅助作用。
