| Abstract | The suppressive effects of monospecific goat anti-mouse globulins on primary immunoglobulin class-specific plaque-forming cell responses in mouse spleen cell cultures were investigated. Anti-µ suppressed responses in all immunoglobulin classes, whereas anti-γ1 and anti-γ2 suppressed the γ1 and γ2 responses but not γM or γA responses, and anti-γA suppressed only γA responses. The mechanism of action of the anti-µ was studied in detail because of its suppression of responses in all immunoglobulin classes. The anti-µ was specific for µ-chain determinants; its activity was dose dependent, but was not mediated by killing cells with surface µ-chain determinants. Free γM but not γG myeloma proteins in solution effectively competed with µ-bearing cells for the anti-µ. An excess of anti-µ was necessary in the cultures for 48 hr to insure complete suppression of 5-day responses. However, after removal of excess anti-µ at 48 hr, responses could be stimulated by newly added antigen in cultures where incubation was prolonged to 7 days. Anti-µ was most effective when added at the initiation of cultures and had no suppressive effect when added at 48 hr. Excess antigen did not effectively compete with anti-µ for antigen receptors. Precursors of antibody-forming cells were shown to be the cell population where the suppressive activity of anti-µ was mediated. The experiments suggest that anti-µ combines with µ-chain determinants in antigen-specific receptors on the surfaces of antibody-forming cell precursors, prevents effective stimulation by antigen and subsequent antibody production. To explain suppression of responses in all Ig classes by anti-µ, several models were proposed. It is not possible to determine from the data whether stimulation of precursor cells with γG or γA receptors requires concommitant stimulation of separate cells with only γM receptors, or whether cells bearing γM receptors are precommitted to or differentiate into cells capable of synthesis of other Ig classes, or whether receptors of γM and another Ig class are present on some virgin precursors or the second Ig receptor appears after antigenic stimulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
