Immunoglobulin G-binding factors (IgG-BF), which are produced by cells of the immune system, inhibit antibody production. In this paper, we show that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) suppresses secondary in vitro anti-sheep red blood cell responses of mouse splenocytes and lipopolysaccharide- or anti-IgM-stimulated mouse B cell responses in a way similar to, and with the same kinetics as, rodent IgG-BF. Moreover, the immunosuppressive activity of IgG-BF was totally neutralized by polyclonal and monoclonal anti-TGF-beta antibodies and it eluted with TGF-beta by gel exclusion chromatography, suggesting that a TGF-beta-like immunosuppressive factor is present in IgG-BF. We also show that TGF-beta behaves as an IgG-BF since it binds to insolubilized IgG, but not to insolubilized F(ab')2 or bovine serum albumin. Altogether, the data support the concept of a biological role for TGF-beta in the IgG-mediated negative feedback of antibody responses.
由免疫系统细胞产生的免疫球蛋白G结合因子(IgG-BF)可抑制抗体产生。在本文中,我们表明转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)以类似于啮齿动物IgG-BF的方式并具有相同的动力学,抑制小鼠脾细胞的体外继发性抗绵羊红细胞反应以及脂多糖或抗IgM刺激的小鼠B细胞反应。此外,IgG-BF的免疫抑制活性被多克隆和单克隆抗TGF-β抗体完全中和,并且它通过凝胶排阻色谱法与TGF-β一起洗脱,这表明IgG-BF中存在一种类似TGF-β的免疫抑制因子。我们还表明,TGF-β表现为一种IgG-BF,因为它能结合固定化的IgG,但不结合固定化的F(ab')2或牛血清白蛋白。总之,这些数据支持了TGF-β在IgG介导的抗体反应负反馈中具有生物学作用的概念。
