  • Title: Loss of carrier-determined tolerance in vitro with loss of receptor blockade.
    Author: Aldo-Benson M, Borel Y.
    Journal: J Immunol; 1976 Jan; 116(1):223-6. PubMed ID: 1245739.
    Abstract:
    Experiments were done to determine whether carrier-determined tolerance is reversible and whether the loss of tolerance is accompanied by the loss of receptor blockade. Spleen cells from mice made tolerant with DNP-isologous IgG remained tolerant when transferred to irradiated syngeneic mice. If these same tolerant spleen cells were incubated for 24 hr or more before transfer the tolerance was lost. Autoradiology was done on the tolerant cells with either 125I anti-DNP or 125DNP-KLH, before and after incubation in vitro. When the cells were tolerant the number of DNP ABC was decreased whereas cells having DNP on their surface were increased. When the cells lost tolerance after in vitro incubation, the hapten-bearing cells were no longer present although the number of cells free DNP receptors increased to normal. These data suggest that in carrier determined tolerance the reactivation of tolerant lymphocytes may involve reversible receptor blockade.
