説明
Two monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) 1E4 and ISCR3, which detect class II antigens across species barriers, were studied for their inhibitory effects on human and murine T cell proliferative responses to purified protein derivative of tuberculin (PPD). The 1E4 detected at least a polymorphic determinant on I-A molecules from mice carrying the H-2b haplotype, and the ISCR3 detected the Ia.7 determinant on I-E molecules. Nevertheless, both 1E4 and ISCR3 recognized monomorphic determinants on HLA-DR antigens (human I-E equivalent molecules), but not on HLA-DQ antigens (human I-A equivalent molecules). It was demonstrated that 1E4 significantly inhibited PPD-specific responses of T cells from Ib-bearing mice. In contrast, ISCR3 showed marginal effects on the responses of mice bearing Ia.7. However, in the human system both 1E4 and ISCR3 reduced proliferative responses to PPD. These results suggest that a functional difference exists between humans and mice in the I subregion products involved in the T cell proliferative responses to PPD.
