Functional Differences in the Specific B‐Cell Compartment in High or Low Antibody Responder Mice

The role of antigen‐presenting cells (APC) in quantitative antibody synthesis regulation was studied in mice genetically selected for high (HI) or low (LI) antibody response. Irradiated spleen cells and enriched specific B cells from HI and LI mice co‐isogenic at H‐2 s locus, were compared for their capacity to present chicken ovalbumin (OVA) to specific T‐cell hybridomas. Minor differences were observed between HI and LI mice when three distinct hybridomas were stimulated in the presence of OVA and splenic macrophages APC. These differences were totally abolished when APC were pulsed with OVAxAb complexes. Looking at the B‐cell compartment, hybridoma IL‐2 responses were similar when TNP primed B cells were pulsed with OVA. However, when OVA was targeted on TNP‐specific enriched B cells by pulsing with TNP‐OVA, the IL‐2 production by the T‐cell hybridomas was stronger in the presence of HI B cells than in the presence of LI B cells. These results strongly suggest that an efficient Ag handling/processing by specific B cells is a major component of the high Ab responder status in Biozzi mice.
