Abstract:
:The mechanisms of B cell tolerance were studied in an attempt to learn whether B cells rendered tolerant are present in the immune system in a potentially responsive form. The author tested the in vitro anti-trinitrophenyl (TNP) antibody-forming cell (anti-TNP AFC) response to TNP-immunogens and polyclonal B cell activators (PBA) of spleen cells taken from mice injected with a tolerogen, TNP-carboxymethylcellulose (TNP-CMC). Spleen cells from mice injected 5 days previously with 10 microgram of TNP-CMC did not respond to TNP-sheep red blood cells (TNP-SRBC), T-dependent (TD) antigen or TNP-Ficoll, T-independent (TI) antigen. However, the same spleen cells responded to PBA, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Salmonella enteritidis and purified protein derivative (PPD) of BCG. The results indicate that B cells specific for TNP are present in a potentially responsive form. Spleen cells from mice injected with 500 microgram of TNP-CMC did not respond to either TNP-immunogens or PBA. The state of unresponsiveness to PBA reappeared within the short period of 2 days, whereas unresponsiveness to TNP-immunogens lasted much longer. Unresponsiveness to PBA was relieved considerably by treating tolerant spleen cells with the proteolytic enzyme trypsin before in vitro stimulation. These results indicate that B cells rendered refractory are present in the immune system in a potentially responsive form.
