In previous studies, BALB/c mice immunized with trinitrophenyl-specific IgA protein (M315) produced by MOPC-315 developed idiotype (Id315)-specific T cells that suppressed M315 secretion in vivo. In the present in vitro studies, we show that inhibition of M315 secretion is mediated by a theta,Lyt-1-2+ cell that expresses a surface membrane receptor for Id315. The suppressor signal is a diffusable product that acts directly on M315-secreting myeloma cells. Inhibition of M315 secretion is T cell dose-dependent, Id315-specific, reversible, and occurs without any effect on MOPC-315 growth, viability, or surface membrane expression of M315. Inhibition of M315 secretion results from a selective inhibition of M315 synthesis in the myeloma cell. These studies provide new insight into the mechanisms of direct B cell regulation by idiotype-specific T cells.
在先前的研究中,用MOPC - 315产生的三硝基苯基特异性IgA蛋白(M315)免疫的BALB/c小鼠产生了独特型(Id315)特异性T细胞,这些T细胞在体内抑制M315的分泌。在目前的体外研究中,我们发现M315分泌的抑制是由表达Id315表面膜受体的θ、Lyt - 1 - 2⁺细胞介导的。抑制信号是一种可扩散的产物,直接作用于分泌M315的骨髓瘤细胞。M315分泌的抑制呈T细胞剂量依赖性、Id315特异性、可逆性,并且对MOPC - 315的生长、活力或M315的表面膜表达没有任何影响。M315分泌的抑制是由于骨髓瘤细胞中M315合成的选择性抑制。这些研究为独特型特异性T细胞直接调节B细胞的机制提供了新的见解。
