Hapten‐specific helper T cells III. Fine specificity of the (4‐hydroxy‐3‐nitro‐phenyl)‐acetyl (NP)‐specific response in Igh‐1b mice

Helper cells, with specificity for the haptens (4‐hydroxy‐3‐nitro‐phenyl)acetyl (NP) or (4‐hydroxy‐5‐iodo‐3‐nitro‐phenyl)acetyl (NIP), were raised in B10.BR mice by in vivo priming and in vitro long‐term enrichment with hapten‐derivatized syngeneic spleen cells. Upon co‐culture with the homologous antigen (NP or NIP self), selected helper cells specifically responded by proliferation and by inducing large numbers of B cells to clonal expansion and immunoglobulin secretion. Criss‐cross experiments demonstrated the nonheteroclitic nature of antigen recognition by helper cells, as the proliferative and helper cell activites were in every case one order of magnitude higher when confronted with the homologous hapten used for immunization.
