T cell hybrids with arsonate specificity. I. Initial characterization of antigen-specific T cell products that bear a cross-reactive idiotype and determinants encoded by the murine major histocompatibility complex

PMCID: PMC2186003  PMID: 6159448

Abstract

T cell hybrids have been constructed between the BW5147 thymoma cell line and A/J splenocytes from mice suppressed with the p- azophenylarsonte hapten. Three independently derived cloned lines have been chracterized. Each secretes or sheds a 62,000-dalton antigen- specific product bound by rabbit antisera directed against the arsonate cross-reactive idiotype. In addition, each of the antien-specific molecules contains determinants encoded within the I region of the murine major histocompatibility complex. Peptide mapping analysis indictes that, whereas these molecules are remarkably similar, each is individually distinct in primary structure. The availability of cloned T cell lines that produce antigen-specific idiotype-positive I region- containing products should facilitate a more thorough dissection of the interrelationships of T-B interctions in the arsonate idiotypic system.
