T lymphocytes mediate immunologic control of C3 gene expression

Abstract: Immunologic control of C3 gene expression by tissue macrophages can be accomplished by treatment of spleen fragments with anti-C3 antibody. We now demonstrate that suppression of C3 requires participation of T lymphocytes of both the CD4+ and CD8+ phenotypes. Pretreatment of splenic tissue with anti-Thy-1.2 monoclonal antibody blocks the ability of the anti-C3 antibody to induce C3 suppression. Reduction in either the CD4+ or CD8+ subpopulations of T lymphocytes also abrogates C3 suppression demonstrating that… Show more

“…Long-term treatment of infected IC-21 cells with anti-MV antibody induces suppression of MV protein synthesis that continues for days after treatment is terminated. Having demonstrated that a 2-h exposure to anti-MV serum suppressed viral protein synthesis in infected cells, we next determined whether extended treatment periods prolonged the suppression in a manner that was similar to what had been observed for intrinsic cell products (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). In the experiment whose results are shown in Fig.…”

“…H, M, and F proteins are proteins that complex with the viral enve- Our results from experiments on the immune regulation of viral proteins are consistent with our results from experiments on the immune regulation of proteins normally expressed by macrophages, e.g., complement components. For several years our laboratory has been studying the mechanisms whereby synthesis of individual complement components can be suppressed by in vivo or in vitro treatment of primary macrophages or hepatocytes with specific antibody or hyperimmune lymphoid cells directed against that component (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)32). Experiments with in vivo and in vitro complement suppression have demonstrated the following characteristics and requirements for antigenic suppression.…”
