The differential ability of splenic adherent cells from B6.lpr mice to induce suppressor T cells.

Hapten-coupled splenic adherent cells or resident peritoneal cells from autoimmune B6.lpr mice that are over 5 mo of age fail to induce first-order inducer suppressor T cells (Ts1). However, the same population of hapten-coupled cells can induce both delayed-type hypersensitivity responses and third-order effector suppressor T cells (Ts3). Thus, splenic and peritoneal antigen-presenting cells from B6.lpr mice display a defined defect in the ability to induce certain suppressor T cell responses. The cellular defect in Ts1 induction is controlled by the lpr gene, since age-matched congenic B6 mice do not display this defect. The splenic adherent cell defect is temporarily correlated with the autoimmunity that develops in B6.lpr animals. The antigen-presenting defect in the B6.lpr splenic adherent population for Ts1 induction is reversible by culturing the cells in interferon-gamma. The results are discussed as an illustration of the relationship between experimental models of autoimmunity and defects in a suppressor T cell cascade.
