Abstract:
:Spleen cells from BALB/c mice primed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), were stimulated with heat-killed vaccine of rough Pneumococcus pneumoniae R36A (Pn) and/or phosphorylcholine (PC)-coupled KLH to induce an anti-PC response in vitro. The response to PC-KLH was found to be T-dependent while it is T-independent to Pn. The antibodies induced with either antigen had similar avidity and expressed the TEPC 15 idiotype exclusively; thus T cell involvement in the response to PC-KLH failed to alter these parameters of the anti-PC response. At the precursor cell level, Pn induced small clones with an average size of 10 plaque-forming cells (PFC), whereas PC-KLH gave rise to larger clones of 40-50 PFC. This difference in the proliferative potential of PC precursor B cells hinted at the possibility that Pn and PC-KLH were stimulating different precursors. This was corroborated by the observation that a) when Pn and PC-KLH were added to the same cultures a synergistic effect was seen, i.e. the number of plaques was greater than the sum of the responses induced by each antigen, and b) in microcultures, under conditions limiting B cells only, Pn plus PC-KLH induced a higher fraction of responding wells than either antigen on its own. We postulate that Pn and PC-KLH stimulate subpopulations of PC precursor cells which are T-independent and T-dependent, respectively.
