Hapten reactive inducer T cells. II. Evidence that a secreted form of the T cell receptor induces antibody production.

Abstract: 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 reco… Show more

“…The inactivating molecule is not the antigen-binding T cell receptor secreted by Ly-1 T cell clones. On the contrary, whereas antigenbinding material secreted by a TNP-specific Ly-1 T cell clone provides positive signals for B cell maturation and IgM secretion (47,48), the same T cell clone inhibits the secretion of IgG when it makes an antigen-specific and I regionrestricted contact with B cells (data not shown). If receptor blockade is the mechanism of inactivation by the clones, then the molecules causing the blockade are bound so tightly to the Ig receptor that they can not be removed by extensive washing (Table III).…”
