The kinetics of immunoglobulin and of antiflagellar antibody synthesis followed the cellular variations observed. Two phases were generally observed: one was characterized by a considerable decrease in small and medium-sized lymphocytes by a lytic process and the appearance, by transformation and/or multiplication, of a large population of hyperactive macrophages. The IgM and IgG synthesized between the 2nd and 9th days only partially consisted of antiflagellar antibodies; some were synthesized probably by large basophilic cells and others by the few plasma cells which were observed, generally isolated on the prints. The second phase, from the 11th to the 21st day, manifested a narrower antibody specificity in that all the IgG, the only immunoglobulin synthesized during this period, might be entirely absorbed by the antigen and corresponded to the proliferation of a new lymphoreticular population. A close cellular cooperation seemed to occur at this stage between these two types of population, the macrophages appearing to stimulate lymphopoiesis. Colonies of plasma cells, characteristic of this phase, appeared from the 13th day. These two phases were separated around the 9th day be a brief period of cellular depression. Although the transformations, the contacts and the islets observed among the lympho-reticular populations indicated their plasticity and their capacity for change during the reaction, it must be noted that there was no in vitro example of antibody synthesis occurring without the simultaneous presence of lymphocytes, macrophages and pyroninophile cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":75508,"journal":{"name":"Annales d'immunologie","volume":" ","pages":"103-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1982-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35219187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This difference does not concern the blood clearance of the i.v. inoculated bacteria or the number of infective colonies in the spleen at very early stages but the splenic infection at later stages with maximal differences on day +7. The \"resistance\" character is inherited by F1 and back-crosses as a partially dominant character with polygenic control and a better expression of resistant factor(s) in females. This phenomenon of sex limitation is independent of male-female matings and therefore not sex-linked. Association of the \"resistance\" character with known genetic markers was investigated using (B6 X DB) X DB back-crosses, BALB/B, BALB/c, C3H/eb and C3H/HeJ mice. No correlation of \"resistance\" with Ig allotypes, the \"d\" coat color or the LPS genes was evidenced. On the other hand significant differences in the number of splenic colonies on day 7 were observed according to the H-2 haplotype or the \"b\" coat color phenotypes.

{"title":"Distinct functions of surface receptors in the induction of neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity.","authors":"G Cordier,&nbsp;C Samarut,&nbsp;J P Revillard","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The respective roles of cell surface receptors were studied in a model of cell-mediated cytotoxicity using 51Cr-labelled chicken erythrocytes as target cells and human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) as effector cells. The attachment of the targets to PMN, demonstrated by rosette formation, was achieved by PMN surface receptors for C3 or for Fc IgG. No receptors for Fc IgM could be demonstrated. Direct contact between targets and effector cells was required and no cell-free cytotoxic mediator was demonstrable in this model. Target cells bound to PMN-C3 receptors were not lysed unless a cytotoxicity inducing signal was delivered. This was provided by anti-PMN heteroantibodies, or by their F(ab')2 fragments as well. It was therefore possible to trigger the cytotoxic reaction by bypassing PMN-surface receptors for Fc IgG. When the target cells are coated with IgG antibodies, PMN receptors for Fc IgG ensure both the attachment and the triggering signal for the cytotoxic reaction. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) have been reported to the effective killer cells in vitro under three different experimental conditions: during phagocytosis, in the presence of antibody directed against the target cells and in the presence of lectins. PMN accumulation has also been considered as a major component of the pathogenesis of many forms of immunologic tissue injuries since PMN may react with immune complexes bound to a surface which they cannot phagocytose. Under these circumstances, they release lysosomial enzymes, by a mechanism which has been called \"reverse endocytosis\" or \"frustrated phagocytosis\". Attachment of PMN to target involves cell surface receptors (Fc gamma R) for the Fc region of the IgG molecule and/or receptors (C3R) for the activated third component of complement. The binding of aggregated or antigen-complexed IgG to PMN surface Fc gamma R generates signals triggering the internalization phase of phagocytosis, the antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) and the stimulation of glucose oxidation by the hexose monophosphate pathway. However, the latter metabolic activation was also reported to be triggered by the fixation of antibodies specific for PMN surface determinants. It was therefore conceivable that modifications induced at the membrane level on any structure distinct from Fc gamma R would produce metabolic changes leading to target cell destruction, provided that a close contact could be established between effector and target cells. In the present study we have investigated the respective roles of Fc gamma R, C3R and other yet undefined surface determinants of PMN in the induction of cytotoxic activity towards heterologous target cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":75508,"journal":{"name":"Annales d'immunologie","volume":"132D 1","pages":"3-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18359843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work compared the units of the nodes of germ-free and normal mice at age eight-weeks. The units differed in the two groups of animals. The main finding was that the units of mesenteric nodes of germ-free mice differed from those of the other nodes found in the same animals. Unlike in the mesenteric nodes of normal mice, the periphery of a unit was clearly demarcated from its center due to a greater lymphocyte density in the periphery. This fact fits a previous proposal that each part of the unit functions separately.
