Abstract

Previous data have shown that from an antiparasitic IgE mAb (mAb1), antianti-Id IgG and IgE antibodies (Ab3) could be prepared. These Ab3 demonstrated the same functional properties as the Ab1, such as in vitro cytotoxic activity toward schistosomula and in vivo a protective effect against Schistosoma mansoni infection. To study the possible interactions between the idiotypic network and the regulation of isotypic expression, we focused on Id-specific T cells obtained by immunization with Ab2. Both Ab2 idiotopes and native schistosomula Ag were able to stimulate the proliferation of anti-Ab2 T cells in vitro. The activation of anti-Ab2 T cells by Ab2 shared the classic characteristics of Th cells, namely, it was MHC-restricted and required APC. A T cell line could be maintained in long term culture by stimulation with schistosomula Ag. The adoptive transfer of cells from this line to 26-kDa Ag-immunized or S. mansoni-infected rats led to a dramatic increase in the specific humoral response. This effect was restricted to antibodies specific for 26- and 56-kDa Ag (the targets of the mAb1) and was observed for the two isotypes tested, i.e., IgG and IgE. Finally, the helper effect on the antibody response could be further amplified by cooperation of anti-Ab2 T cells with Id-specific cells of the first generation (anti-Ab1 cells). Together with Ag-specific Th cells, the Id-specific T cells may, due to their specificity and their functional properties, play a major role in the induction and more importantly, in the maintenance of the immune response.
