  abstract  = {H-Y-specific and H-2Db-restricted, Lyt-1 "2+ T-cell clones (CTLL) with graded specific cytotoxic activities on male C57BL/6 (B6) target cells (1E3, +++; 2C5, ++; 2A5, +, 3E6, ±) were tested for their capacity to inhibit the generation of H-Y-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro. Addition of irradiated lymphocytes of CTLL 1E3 and CTLL 3E6 but not those of CTLL 2A5 or CTLL 2C5 abolished the generation of CTL from in vivo primed H-Y-specific precursor cells (CTLP) when added to fresh mixed-lymphocyte cultures (MLC). Exogenous sources of T-cell growth factors (TCGF) did not overcome suppression. Rather the presence of TCGF resulted in a further enhancement of suppressive activities in CTLL 1E3 and 3E6 and the induction of similar activities in cells from CTLL 2A5 and 2C5, which by themselves were not inhibitory. Moreover when added to similar MLC on Day 1 instead of Day 0, only irradiated cells of CTLL 3E6 but not those of the other three CTLL were suppressive. Induction of suppressive activities in H-Y-specific CTLL was independent of the appropriate male stimulator cells since it was also observed in MLC induced by irrelevant antigens (H-2, trinitrophenol). Furthermore at low cell numbers, irradiated lymphocytes from any of the CTLL consistently enhanced CTL activities generated from H-Y-specific CTLP. This augmenting activity, which was not TCGF, could be transferred by soluble mediators present in antigen-sensitized CTLL cultures. Thus, these data indicate (i) that cytotoxic effector cells can function as suppressor cells in the generation of CTL, (ii) that the cytotoxic activity of cloned CTL does not correlate with their capacity to suppress CTL responses, (iii) that the inhibition of CTL responses by CTLL is not due to simple consumption of T-cell growth factors produced in MLC, and (iv) that different CTL clones may interfere with the generation of CTL at different stages of their maturation. Moreover, the experiments suggest an antigen-independent enhancement of suppression by the interaction of CTL with lymphokines. Together with the augmenting activity evoked by cloned CTL the data provide strong evidence for the expression of multiple immunological functions by one particular subset of T cells and suggest that cytotoxic effector cells can differentially regulate the maturation and/or clonal expression of their precursor cells.},

The biological activity was separable by gel filtration and appeared as a broad peak in the moleeular mass range between 10000 and 50000 kDa. It was found that the suppressive activity released by CTLL neither strictly correlates with their cytotoxic potential nor with their ability to produce immune interferon or Iymphotoxin. SF was shown to elicitits activity in an antigen-nonspeeific manner in that it suppressed the maturation of T lymphocytes responding to both, the appropriate H-Y antigen as weH as to unrelated H_2d alloantigens or to the hapten 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (TNP). The effect of SF on CTL responses was most pronounced in early phases of primary or secondary MLC. When analyzed for its inhibitory activity on precursor ceHs in populations selected for either Lyt-2- or L3T4- lymphocytes, it was found that SF interfered with the maturation of both subsets. The inhibition of CTL responses elicited by SF could not be reversed by the addition of exogenous interleukin 2. The findtng that SF also inhi. bited the proliferation of some but not a11 antigen-dependent cloned T ceHs with helper or eytc'toxic potential provides evidence that the faetor also may regulate effector lymphl)cytes. In addition, the results support the assumption that SF exerts its effect direetly on the responder rather than the stimulator population, and demonstrate that the development of CTL from their preeursor eeHs is contro11ed at least in part by the eytotoxic effeetor cells themselves via a soluble factor(s) that interferes with distinct stages of T ce11 maturation. These findings again emphasize the expression of multiple functions by CTL and indieate their possible role du ring the course of an immune response by their capability to eliminate target cells and to secrete a soluble product(s) that mediates feedback contro!.},

The results demonstrate that three individual T -cell clones and one subclone could help in the antigen-driven induction of cytotoxic Iymphocytes (CTL) from their precursor cells (CTL-P), and were able to activate B cells to develop into antibody-secreting cells (PFC) in the presence of SRBC, provided the cloned T cells were restimulated by H-Y antigen on antigen-presenting cells. In addition, antigen or lectin could induce the same H -Y -specific T -cell clones to secrete factor(s) expressing helper activities similar to that ofthe cloned T cells. Furthermore, it is shown that the T cell-derived soluble mediator(s) was distinct from T-cell growth factor (TCGF) and from immune interferon (lFN-y).

When tested for its effect on B cell preparations enriched for resting (small) or activated (blasted) B lymphocytes, it was found that rec.hIL 2 provides signals for both B cell populations to develop into PFC.

It is shown that nude mice older than twelve weeks of age are not permissive towards memory cell activation as it is found in non-irradiated euthymie animals. This barrier to isogeneie or congeneic cells seems to be caused by a pool of cyclophosphamide-sensitive cells. Since young nude mice could be rendered as unpermissive as older nude mice by pretreatment with either PNA-agglutinable thymus cells or nylon-wool passed spleen cells, it is suggested that an increased number of precursor T cells in older nude mice might induce this effect. Further experiments with monoclonal antibodies against the Lyt-l, Lyt-2, and L3T4 marker on T cells indicate that T -helper/inducer activity might be required to establish the "isogeneie barrief" in nude mice.},

The data sbow that immunization of mice with highly purified LPG induced an increase in frequency of L. major-reactive T cells and the production of immunoglobulin G antibodies to LPG. Furthermore, genetically resistant mice infected with L. major were able to develop a specific delayed-type hypersensitivity response in the ear to L. major LPG.

They are distinct from another IgM McAb (Group D-McAb) the carbohydrate target epitope of which can also be associated with the epitopes of A. B and C-McAbs. The McAbs produce large vacuolated bleb reactions in the circumoval precipitin test (COPT) and target epitopes have different representations in various life cycle stages such as immature and mature eggs, male and female worms (including S. mansoni). Antigens affinity purified on columns containing A, B, C and D-McAbs stimulate proliferation of T cells from egg-sensitized mice and elicit DTH reactions in such mice.

In the present study we investigated whether TNF-\(\alpha\) activates M\(\Phi\) for killing of L. major parasites. In the absence of interferon-y (IFN-\(\gamma\)) or lipopolysaccharide, TNF-\(\alpha\) (0.025-25000 U/ml) failed to activate peritoneal exudate M\(\Phi\) from BALB/c mice for killling of L. major amastigotes. In the presence of suboptimal doses of IFN-\(\gamma\) (5 or 10 Vlml), however, TNF-\(\alpha\) mediated a rapid elimination of intracellular parasites, which was highly significant compared to IFN-\(\gamma\) alone. Tbe combination of TNF with interleukin 4, in contrast, was inactive in this respect and allowed survival of intracellular parasites. From these data we conelude that the presence of IFN-\(\gamma\) is crucial for TNF-\(\alpha\)-mediated killing of L. major parasites by M\(\Phi\). Disease progression in susceptible mice therefore seems to be a consequence of a deficiency of IFN-\(\gamma\) and a predominance of interleukin 4 rather than the result of an excess amount of TNF-\(\alpha\).},

  abstract  = {We have developed a reliable and sensitive immunohistochemical staining technique which allows the simultaneous demonstration of two different antigens expressed in or on the same cell (referred to as mixed labeling), together with the evaluation of the general histopathological appearance of the tissue. The staining procedure combines a three-step (streptavidin-biotin) immunogold-silver staining (IGSS) with a three-step immunoenzymatic labeling. For this purpose, we investigated the compatibility ofIGSS with various substrates of peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase (AP). Highly reliable and discernible mixed labeling was achieved only after iniriallabeling with IGSS followed by AP labeling using the substrates naphthol AS-MX phosphate/Fast Blue or naphthol AS-HI phosphate/New Fuchsin, respectively. To ensure utmost specificity, we applied FlTC-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibodies and rabbit anti-FlTC immunoglobulins visualized by AP-labeled immunoglobulins and the respective substrate in a final step. This novel approach provides an excellent means for demonstration of immunocompetent cells and unequivocal determination of the percentage of specific cell subsets in infiltrated tissue. The advantages of this method, as compared with double immunofluorescence or double immunoenzymatic labeling, were investigated and are discussed. (J Histochem Cytochem 38:307-313, 1990)},
