| Abstract | Induction of IgE class-restricted tolerance was studied in high IgE- responder (BALB/c X SJL)F1 mice, of which the parental BALB/c and SJL mice are high and low IgE-responder mice, respectively. 2,4- Dinitrophenyl (DNP)-specific monoclonal IgE was administered to (BALB/c X SJL)F1 mice neonatally in two forms: soluble IgE at 250 micrograms per injection, or 10-100 ng of IgE coupled to 25-50 X 10(6) syngeneic splenocytes by binding to the chemically reactive hapten trinitrobenzene sulfonate (TNBS) or directly conjugated via a heterobifunctional reagent, N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP). Polyclonal induction of IgE class-restricted tolerance was observed in (BALB/c X SJL)F1 mice, neonatally treated with soluble IgE or IgE-conjugated syngeneic splenocytes. Thus these mice failed to mount IgE antibody responses to either keyhole limpet hemocyanin or ovalbumin challenge, assessed by the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis reaction. The IgG antibody responses to these same antigens, however, were not affected by this treatment. The IgE class- restricted tolerance induced by both forms of IgE persisted up to at least 6 mo with repeated antigenic challenges. IgE coupled to syngeneic cells by TNBS or the SPDP method induced prolonged tolerance up to 9 mo. The induction of polyclonal IgE class-restricted tolerance was achieved only by monoclonal IgE, whereas DNP-specific monoclonal IgG1 plus IgG2b coupled to syngeneic splenocytes by the SPDP method failed to modulate either IgE or IgG antibody responses. In contrast, (BALB/c X A/J)F1 mice, of which both parental strains are high IgE responders, developed IgE class-restricted tolerance upon repeated neonatal injection of soluble IgE, but not IgE-conjugated syngeneic splenocytes, indicating that gene products of the low IgE-responder mice contributed to the effective presentation and/or recognition of epsilon heavy chain of the IgE molecules. Taken collectively, these results demonstrated that non-antigen-specific, isotype-restricted tolerance can be induced in the IgE antibody system. The differential induction of IgE class- restricted tolerance by different forms of tolerogen in the strains studied perhaps distinguishes two underlying cellular mechanisms for IgE class-restricted tolerance. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
