摘要:
We have analyzed the role of cognate interaction with helper T cells (Th) in support of resting B cell differentiation to plaque formation. Co-culture of histoincompatible resting B cells and resting Th cells resulted in the induction of plaque-forming cells when dimeric but not monomeric fragments of anti-T cell receptor (TcR) antibody were added to culture. The efficiency of B cell activation was comparable to that supported by lipopolysaccharide and lectin-mediated Th-B cell conjugate formation. Further, if resting Th cells were preactivated with antigen and histocompatible antigen-presenting cells, the requirement for addition of anti-TcR to mixtures of histoincompatible Th and B cells was obviated. These results demonstrate that TcR-mediated Th recognition of major histoincompatibility complex class II/antigen composites on the resting B cell membrane does not provide obligate signals for B cell differentiation to plaque formation. We are left with two possibilities. Either the entire process of Th cell-dependent induction of resting B cell differentiation is mediated by soluble lymphokines or if Th-B cell contact is mandatory, it is mediated through nonpolymorphic cell surface determinants.
