Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection induces the appearance of viral analogues of human Fc IgG and C3 receptors on the surface of human cells. The virally induced C3 receptor(s) has been broadly defined as a C3b receptor, but its ligand binding characteristics have not been rigorously defined. In this study, human epidermal cells, A431 cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells infected with HSV-1 demonstrated rosetting with sheep erythrocytes (E) coated with IgG (E-IgG) or the complement components C3b (EAC3b) or iC3b (EAC3bi), but not with E-IgM, C4 (EAC14), C3d (EAC3d), or E alone. Rosetting was markedly enhanced by pretreatment of HSV-1-infected cells with neuraminidase. Unlike human C3 receptors, the HSV-1-induced C3 receptor was found to be trypsin resistant. To determine whether HSV-1 induced CR1-like receptors or CR3-like receptors, infected cells were pretreated with EDTA, which is known to inhibit native CR3 function. EDTA failed to prevent rosetting with EAC3bi. Furthermore, blocking studies using monoclonal antibodies against CR1 and CR3 revealed that the anti-CR1 antibody 5C11 consistently blocked EAC3b and EAC3bi rosetting with HSV-1-infected cells in a dose dependent manner, but monoclonal antibodies against CR3 did not. This study indicates that the HSV-1-induced C3 receptor is an analogue of CR1.

Abstract
The treatment of mouse spleen cells with periodate at the optimal mitogenic concentration (1 mM) induces the activation of suppressor cells of the in vitro antibody response and leads to the formation of aldehydes on the carbohydrate termini of the surface sialoglycoconjugates. These aldehyde moieties are found on the C8 (N-AN 8) and the C7 (N-AN 7) derivatives of sialic acid. Immediate borohydride reduction prevents the activation of the suppressor cells. Data from this work show that borohydride reduction must be performed within the first 6 hr to prevent the generation of suppressor cells; 18 hr after the initial periodate oxidation, borohydride treatment did not reverse the in vitro suppressive activity of periodate-treated cells. The kinetics of the disappearance of aldehydes from the cell surface were studied by using [3H]borohydride labeling and chromatographic analysis of sialic acid derivatives. About 70 to 80% of the aldehyde moieties were found to be present 6 hr after periodate oxidation. After 18 hr, 50 to 70% of the aldehyde had disappeared from the lymphocyte membrane. Oxidized sialyl residues disappear completely after 60 hr of culture. This period corresponds to the de novo synthesis of sialic acid residues on the surface of periodate-activated cells. The two classes of oxidized sialyl-glycoconjugates were found to behave in different ways. In effect, our data showed that the aldehydes remaining at 18 hr are mainly located on the gangliosides, whereas the aldehyde moieties located on high m.w. glycoproteins disappear from the cell surface between 9 and 18 hr. This would suggest that the remaining aldehydes located on gangliosides are not directly involved in the expression of suppressive activity.

Abstract
Th initial step in cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated cytolysis involves target cell adhesion and antigen recognition. To investigate these initial events in the CTL-target interaction, we used HLA-A2- and HLA-B7-specific human CTL clones and HLA-typed B lymphoblastoid target cells. By using two different adhesion assays, we demonstrated antigen nonspecific CTL-target cell adhesion. To more precisely define the contribution of the antigen-specific receptor to CTL-target cell adhesion, we used the HLA-A2, HLA-B7, and mock transfected RD target cells. Consistent with the results when using B lymphoblastoid target cells, the CTL clones demonstrated equivalent adhesions to the RD target cells whether or not they expressed HLA-A2 or HLA-B7. These results suggested that CTL-target cell adhesion occurred independent of the T cell receptor. By using the calcium-sensitive dye Indo-1 and flow cytometry, we assessed CTL-target cell adhesion and CTL activation. Simultaneous measurement of adhesion and intracellular free calcium demonstrated that CTL-target cell adhesion alone did not activate CTL clones. Both CTL-target cell adhesion and the presence of the appropriate HLA target molecule were necessary for the efficient activation of human CTL. MAb inhibition studies indicated that antigen nonspecific adhesion is largely regulated by the LFA-1, CD2 (LFA-2/T11), and LFA-3 cell surface molecules. These antigen nonspecific cell-cell interaction molecules appear to play an important role in facilitating antigen recognition and subsequent target cell lysis.
Synergistic effects of the xid gene in X chromosome congenic mice. I. Inability of C3.CBA/N mice to respond to thymus-dependent antigens in adoptive transfer assays.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The xid gene, which causes a B lymphocyte immune defect in CBA/N mice, has been bred onto the C3H/HeN background. The resulting X chromosome congenic mice (C3.CBA/N) exhibit immunologic defects that are much more profound than the defect exhibited by CBA/N mice; thus, the B cells from C3.CBA/N mice not only fail to respond to thymus-independent (TI) type 2 antigens such as TNP-Ficoll, but they fail to respond in vitro to TI-type 1 antigens such as TNP-Brucella abortus (BA) and B cell mitogens such as LPS and Nocardia water-soluble mitogen. In this paper we show that the synergistic defect seen in C3.CBA/N B cells is also elicited in adoptive transfer assays to thymus-dependent (TD) antigens such as TNP-KLH and PC-KLH, antigens to which both parental strains respond. Thus, the secondary adoptive transfer response of C3.CBA/N spleen cells is generally less than 5% of the immune response produced by CBA/N or C3H/HeN spleen cells. This synergistic defect is restricted to the C3.CBA/N B cells, since C3.CBA/N T cells can provide help to CBA/N B cells that is equivalent to the help obtained with CBA/N T cells. The low responsiveness of C3.CBA/N spleen cells to TD antigens, which is elicited in adoptive transfer assays, is not seen when the intact animal is immunized with antigen in CFA; this, intact C3.CBA/N mice produce anti-PC-KLH and anti-TNP-KLH responses only slightly lower than the responses of CBA/N mice to these same antigens. In contrast, when these mice are immunized with phenol-extracted LPS, a TI-type 1 antigen, their antibody responses are severely depressed. These data suggest that under conditions in which T cell help may be limiting or in which the intact physiology of the T and B cells has been disrupted, C3.CBA/N B cells demonstrate profound immunologic impairment; however, when adequate T cell help is available and the splenic architecture is not disrupted, their immune responses appear to progress in a normal fashion.
Detection of cross-reactive determinants shared by human monoclonal IgM reacting with myelin-associated glycoprotein.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Monoclonal IgM from patients with peripheral neuropathy frequently have anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) activity. We investigated the idiotypes of 10 monoclonal anti-MAG by using rabbit polyclonal antisera. Three groups of anti-idiotypic antisera could be distinguished. Four sera reacted only with the immunizing protein. Two sera reacted with a single other anti-MAG IgM in addition to the immunizing one. Immunoenzymatic studies showed that these two couples of anti-MAG IgM reacted identically with 100% cross-inhibition, indicating that the whole set of idiotypes identified by the rabbit antiserum was present on both IgM antibodies. The four other anti-idiotypic sera reacted with the homologous IgM, as well as with most of the other anti-MAG IgM. In contrast to the previous antisera the binding of these four sera to the homologous IgM could not be inhibited by other cross-reacting anti-MAG IgM. However, when a heterologous IgM was used for coating, these antisera with one exception showed complete cross-inhibition. The absence of inhibition by purified MAG of the patient of the anti-idiotypic antisera sera suggests that these antibodies are most likely to be directed against framework determinants rather than against combining site epitopes.
Tumor necrosis factor is chemotactic for monocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Authors: Ming W J , Bersani L , Mantovani A 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Human recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induced migration across polycarbonate and nitrocellulose filters of human peripheral blood monocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, TNF was active in inducing migration at concentrations less than 1 U/ml, and maximal responses (observed at greater than 100 U/ml) were comparable to those elicited by standard reference chemoattractants (FMLP, 10 nM; activated human serum, 5%). Checkerboard analysis performed by seeding different concentrations of TNF above and below the filter revealed that maximal induction of migration required a positive concentration gradient between the lower and upper compartments and that TNF elicited an actual chemotactic response in phagocytes. An anti-TNF rabbit antiserum and anti-TNF mouse monoclonal antibody abolished the chemotactic activity of TNF. Recombinant lymphotoxin was also chemotactic for phagocytes, and its activity was blocked by an anti-lymphotoxin antiserum. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells and blood large granular lymphocytes did not respond chemotactically to TNF under conditions in which appropriate reference chemoattractants were active. The chemotactic activity of TNF may serve to recruit phagocytic cells from the blood compartment to amplify resistance against noxious agents.
Enhanced 5-lipoxygenase activity in lung macrophages compared to monocytes from normal subjects.
Authors: Bigby T D , Holtzman M J 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We compared lipoxygenase activities of lung macrophages obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage to activities of blood monocytes purified by using discontinuous plasma/Percoll density gradients and adherence to tissue culture plastic in five normal subjects. Cells were incubated with ionophore A23187 (10(-9) to 10(-5) M) or arachidonic acid (0.12 to 80 microM) for 1 to 60 min at 37 degrees C to construct dose-response and time-dependence curves of lipoxygenase product generation. Products were identified and were quantified by using high-pressure liquid chromatography and ultraviolet spectroscopy. Under all conditions of product generation, both macrophages and monocytes generated predominantly (5S,12R)-dihydroxy-(6Z, 8E, 10E, 14Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (leukotriene B4 (LTB4] and (5S)-hydroxy-(6E, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z) - eicosatetraenoic acid (5 - HETE), but, in each subject, macrophages invariably released greater amounts of LTB4 and 5-HETE than monocytes. In response to A23187, macrophages released a maximum of 183 +/- 96 pmol of LTB4 and 168 +/- 108 pmol of 5-HETE per 10(6) cells (mean +/- SEM), whereas monocytes released only 16 +/- 1 and 18 +/- 8 pmol per 10(6) cells of LTB4 and 5-HETE, respectively. After adding arachidonic acid, macrophages released a maximum of 52 +/- 21 pmol of LTB4 and 223 +/- 66 pmol of 5-HETE, whereas monocytes released no detectable products. The results suggest that mononuclear phagocyte maturation in the lung may be accompanied by an enhanced ability to generate 5-lipoxygenase products.

Abstract
A small subpopulation (about 2%) of normal CD3+ human T lymphocytes lacks both CD4 and CD8 antigens. We have cloned these cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) obtained from healthy individuals and from a patient with severe combined immunodeficiency. Six out of seven CD3+4-8-clones exert strong cytolytic activity against a variety of so-called NK-susceptible and -nonsusceptible tumor target cells. Their target cell specificity spectrum can virtually be as wide as that of CD3-NK cell-derived clones, with strong lytic capacity. Some of these clones also exert antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), a characteristic of NK cell-derived clones but not of CD3+4+ or CD8+ mature T cell-derived clones. Such CD3+ T cell clones do not express the CD16 (IgG Fc receptor) antigen, but as we demonstrate here, the CD16 antigen can be identified on CD3+4-8-clones. Both ADCC activity and CD16 antigen expression are lower in CD3+4-8- than in CD3- NK cell clones. Lytic activity of mature CD3+4+ or CD8+ and CD3- NK cell clones can be augmented, respectively, by anti-CD3 or anti-CD16 monoclonal antibodies (MAb), but that of CD3+4-8- clones are augmented by both MAb. Lytic activity of CD3+4+ or CD8+ clones is considerably enhanced after 3 hr of incubation with recombinant IL 2, as found for CD3- NK cells. Enhancement of lytic activity of allospecific CD3+4+ or CD8+ clones requires 18 hr of incubation. Thus, CD3+4-8-16+ cells share several features with CD3- NK cells. However, they express the CD3 antigen, which is characteristic for CD4+ or CD8+ mature T cells. Our results also indicate that although CD3+4-8- clones react with five preparations of anti-CD3 MAb tested, these clones do not express a classical CD3+/Ti alpha, beta antigen receptor complex. This is suggested by the finding that the CD3+4-8- clones do virtually not express the common epitope of the T cell receptor alpha, beta-chains as identified by the WT31 MAb. These CD3+4-8- lymphocytes may represent functionally mature lymphocytes of a distinct T cell subpopulation having a particular immune function.
Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. II. Delineation of distinct murine LAK-precursor subpopulations.
Authors: Ballas Z K , Rasmussen W , van Otegham J K 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells can lyse a number of tumor target cells regardless of whether the tumors are natural killer (NK) sensitive or resistant. LAK can also lyse autologous lymphoblasts that have been modified with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). In this study, we examined the surface markers of murine LAK precursors. It was found that depletion of Thy 1- or Lyt 2-bearing precursor cells abolished the ability of spleen cells to generate LAK against TNBS-self, but had no effect on the generation of LAK against tumor cells. Depletion of asialo-GM1 (AGM1)-bearing precursors abolished the generation of LAK against all target cells tested. Normal spleen cells were fractionated on a Percoll density gradient and two fractions were examined: fraction (Fxn) 3, which is enriched for NK activity but depleted of the ability to generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), and Fxn 5, which had no NK activity but was enriched for the ability to generate CTL. Both fractions were capable of generating LAK, although Fxn 5 required a relatively larger amount of interleukin 2 (IL 2). Upon examination of the surface markers of LAK precursors in these fractions it was found that the precursors in Fxn 3 giving rise to LAK against tumors were Thy-1-, Lyt-2-, AGM1+, whereas the precursors in Fxn 5 were Thy-1+, Lyt-2+, AGM1+. The precursors generating LAK against TNBS-self were Thy-1+, Lyt-2+, AGM1+ in both fractions. The time kinetics of LAK generation in both fractions were different, with Fxn 3 showing much earlier kinetics. These data delineate at least two different LAK precursors defined by their buoyant density, by their surface markers, and by their susceptible target cells. These data also may resolve the confusion in the literature regarding the phenotype of LAK precursors.
Accessory cell independent proliferation of human T4 cells stimulated by immobilized monoclonal antibodies to CD3.
Authors: Geppert T D , Lipsky P E 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The capacity of the monoclonal antibodies (Mab) 64.1 and OKT3 directed at CD3 molecules to induce T4 cell proliferation and interleukin 2 (IL 2) production was examined. Each was tested in soluble form or was immobilized by adhering it to the wells of plastic microtiter wells. Soluble anti-CD3 did not induce proliferation of accessory cell (AC)-depleted T4 cells. In contrast, immobilized anti-CD3 induced T4 cell IL 2 production and proliferation in the complete absence of AC. When T4 cells were stimulated with high density immobilized anti-CD3, responses did not require AC, IL 2, or Mab directed at the Tp44 molecule (9.3). In contrast, responses stimulated by lower densities of immobilized anti-CD3 were enhanced by IL 2, AC, and 9.3, and with even lower densities of immobilized anti-CD3 proliferation, required these additional signals. A variety of other immobilized Mab directed at T cell surface proteins including class I major histocompatibility complex encoded gene products, CD2, CD5, 4F2, and Tp44, did not induce proliferation even in the presence of IL 2. Anti-CD4 Mab (66.1) inhibited immobilized anti-CD3-stimulated T4 cell responses, with a greater degree of inhibition noted when lower densities of immobilized anti-CD3 were used to stimulate T4 cells. The data demonstrate that stimulation of T4 cells by anti-CD3 is completely AC independent when the antibody is immobilized onto a surface. Furthermore, the results indicate that maximal stimulation requires multiple interactions with anti-CD3 without internalization of the CD3 molecule. The observation that additional signals are required to support T4 cell proliferation when the density of immobilized anti-CD3 is diminished suggests that these are necessary only when insufficient interactions with the CD3 molecule have occurred to transmit a maximal activation signal to the cell. Finally, the results indicate that anti-CD4 provides a direct inhibitory signal to the T4 cell, the effect of which is inversely proportional to the intensity of the activation signal.
Induction of T cell-dependent B cell differentiation by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies.
Authors: Stohl W , Posnett D N , Chiorazzi N 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Three monoclonal antibodies (mAb) recognizing the CD3 (T3) surface complex each induced B cell differentiation (as measured by PFC generation) in cultures containing T + non-T cells. Irradiation of the T cells before culture usually augmented the PFC response. An IgG2a mAb (454) induced PFC in all donors tested, whereas two IgG1 mAb (147 and 446) induced PFC in only 80% of the donors tested. This heterogeneity in PFC response to IgG1 anti-CD3 mAb strictly paralleled the heterogeneity in proliferative response to IgG1 anti-CD3 mAb and was governed by cells within the non-T population. In IgG1 anti-CD3 high responders (HR), all anti-CD3 mAb tested induced Tac expression. In IgG1 anti-CD3 low responders (LR), mAb 454 induced Tac expression, but mAb 147 did not. However, when the cultures were supplemented with exogenous interleukin 2, Tac expression and PFC generation in response to mAb 147 was similar to the response to mAb 454 in both HR and LR. The addition of anti-Tac to the cultures partially inhibited anti-CD3-induced PFC generation. These studies indicate that anti-CD3 mAb can lead to B cell differentiation under appropriate experimental conditions and may be valuable in studying polyclonal T cell-dependent B cell differentiation in normal and disease states.
Antigen-induced changes in phospholipid metabolism in antigen-binding B lymphocytes.
Authors: Myers C D , Kriz M K , Sullivan T J , Vitetta E S 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated a marked change in the metabolism of phospholipids (PL) after activation of resting B lymphocytes with anti-immunoglobulin (anti-Ig). In this study we examined PL metabolism in highly purified trinitrophenyl (TNP)-binding B cells after their activation with various forms of TNP-carrier protein. Such cells show similar changes in PL metabolism when stimulated with either antigen or anti-Ig, i.e., increased incorporation of 32PO4 into phosphatidic acid and phosphatidyl inositol (PI) but not phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, or phosphatidyl serine. We have demonstrated that these responses to antigen are TNP-specific and dose-related between 1 and 50 micrograms/ml, producing up to a 2.5-fold stimulation of 32PO4 incorporation into PI. The PL response is also directly related to the density of TNP on the carrier and can be augmented by additional cross-linking of the carrier protein. These data suggest that cross-linking of surface Ig by antigen induces a change in PL metabolism as an early event in B cell activation.
Species-specificity of T cell stimulating activities of IL 2 and BSF-1 (IL 4): comparison of normal and recombinant, mouse and human IL 2 and BSF-1 (IL 4).

Abstract
Mouse and human interleukin 2 (IL 2) both cause proliferation of T cells of the homologous species at high efficiency. Human IL 2 also stimulates proliferation of mouse T cells at similar concentrations, whereas mouse IL 2 stimulates human T cells at a lower (sixfold to 170-fold) efficiency. In contrast, the T cell stimulating activities of mouse and human B cell stimulatory factor 1 (interleukin 4; IL 4) appear to be species specific over the range of concentrations tested; we detected no activity of mouse IL 4 on human T cells, or human IL 4 on mouse T cells.
