  • Title: Major histocompatibility gene complex (MHC)-coded determinants on antigen-specific suppressor factor for delayed-type hypersensitivity and surface phenotypes of cells producing the factor.
    Author: Liew FY, Sia DY, Parish CR, McKenzie IF.
    Journal: Eur J Immunol; 1980 Apr; 10(4):305-9. PubMed ID: 6156846.
    Abstract:
    Antigen-specific suppressor factor for delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) was obtained by incubating in vitro spleen cells from CBA mice (H-2k) injected intravenously 3 days previously with 1 x 10(9) SRBC. The suppressor factor was characterized for major histocompatibility gene complex (MHC)-coded antigenic determinants by passing the factor through immunosorbents coupled with appropriate alloantisera. The suppressor factor was absorbed by anti-H-2k, anti-Iak and anti-I-Jk immunosorbents but was not retained by anti-Ias, anti-I-Js, anti-I-Ak, anti-I-E/Ck or anti-H-2Kk immunosorbents. In addition, the factor bound to an immunosorbent coupled with rabbit antibodies against carbohydrate-defined Ia antigens. Furthermore, the suppressive activity that was absorbed was quantitatively recovered in the acid eluates from the immunosorbents. Treatment of the spleen cells with anti-Lyt-1.1 antiserum and complement completely abrogated their ability to elaborate the suppressor factor in vitro. In contrast, treatment with anti-Lyt-2.1 or anti-Iak antiserum and complement had no effect. Thus, it appears that the suppressor factor for DTH to SRBC bears I-J subregion-coded determinants, and its production is dependent on cells which have the Lyt-1+,2- and Ia- phenotype.
