摘要:: A panel of seven mouse splenic macrophage cell lines, derived from cloned progenitors, was compared for their ability to present antigen to Th1 or Th2 helper T cell lines and hybridomas, as well as to naive T cells, and to provide accessory cell function for the synthesis of antibody from primed B cells. One of the cell lines expressed MHC class II molecules and was the only line with constitutive antigen-presenting activity for Th1 cells. It may represent a subset of splenic macrophages responsible for the activation of naive Th1 helper cells in situ. The remaining six cell lines responded to INF-gamma by up-regulating their class II expression and acquiring Th1 antigen-presenting activity. They may represent cells which, in situ, lack constitutive antigen-presenting activity but are promoted to presenting status by Th1-derived INF-gamma. Five of the cell lines provided accessory cell function to Th2 cells, as indicated by antibody synthesis in suspensions of spleen cells from primed mice depleted of their antigen-presenting cells. One of the cell lines lacking accessory cell activity had constitutive antigen-presenting activity for Th1 cells. This reciprocal expression of antigen-presenting activity supports the idea that Th1 and Th2 helper cells are activated by different antigen-presenting cells. Finally, the cell lines differed in their ability to constitutively induce an allogeneic response; a response that was limited to CD8+ T cells occurred in a CD4+ helper cell-independent manner and was unaffected by the addition of INF-gamma. The alloantigen-presenting macrophage cell lines also possessed the most efficient accessory cell activity for antibody synthesis. These cell lines, which represent a spectrum of antigen-presenting activities in the spleen afford models for defining the roles of macrophages in the induction of immune responses and for resolving issues concerning their development.
