Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This work was designed to delineate the anti-hapten antibody (Ab) response induced by trinitrophenol-polyacrylamide (TNP-PAA) beads from the nonspecific B-cell response which concomitantly occurs in human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures. Indeed human PBMC produce consistent amounts of immunoglobulins when cultured at high cell density in the presence of fetal bovine serum, regardless of the presence of antigen. In contrast, the stimulation of such cultures by TNP-PAA leads to an Ab response characterized by the following: cells secreting anti-hapten Ab at a high rate (detected by a plaque-forming cel (PFC) assay); a 10-30 times enhancement in the number of hapten-specific binding cells (detected by a rosette-forming cell (RFC) assay); the production of anti-TNP IgM Ab (detected by an ELISA assay). The anti-TNP response is specifically triggered by the particulate antigen, as shown by the following: The TNP-PAA antigen induces a clear-cut increase in the amount of anti-TNP Ab whereas it only marginally increases that of total IgM. The anti-TNP Ab response is specifically abolished when anti-TNP RFC are depleted from the PBMC preparation before the initiation of the cultures. The anti-TNP Ab response is specifically abolished when PBMC are triggered by TNP-PAA in the concomitant presence of a soluble TNP-protein conjugate. These results demonstrate the ability of polymeric antigens to specifically activate human peripheral blood B cells.
