The results of previous studies in our laboratory have shown that mice bearing plasmacytomas and hybridomas that secrete IgA or IgE are accompanied by increased frequencies of Lyt-1-2+ T lymphocytes bearing Fc receptors (FcR) for IgA (T alpha) or IgE (T epsilon), respectively. The present study was undertaken to examine whether IgG- or IgM-secreting tumors influenced the frequency of T lymphocytes that express FcR for IgG or IgM. We studied mice bearing IgG- and IgM-secreting plasmacytomas and hybridomas. BALB/c mice injected subcutaneously with the IgG-secreting hybridoma HDP1 (gamma 1 kappa, anti-TNP) were sequentially examined for the frequencies and Lyt phenotypes of splenic lymphocytes bearing FcR for IgG (T gamma), IgM (T mu), and IgA (T alpha). A threefold increase in the frequency of T gamma lymphocytes that were Lyt-1-2+, L3T4- was seen. The frequencies of T mu and T alpha lymphocytes in these mice were not significantly altered. Similarly, mice injected subcutaneously with the IgM-secreting plasmacytoma MOPC 104E (mu lambda, anti-dextran) or the IgM-secreting hybridoma C1D1 (mu kappa, anti-ox RBC) were examined sequentially for the frequencies of T gamma, T mu, and T alpha lymphocytes. Mice with established IgM subcutaneous tumors showed a twofold increase in splenic, nylon wool-nonadherent T mu lymphocytes. This was associated with a relative increase in Lyt-2+ splenic T lymphocytes and a relative decrease in Lyt-1+ splenic T lymphocytes. No changes were observed in the frequencies of either T gamma or T alpha lymphocytes. These studies extend to IgG and IgM the observation that plasmacytomas and hybridomas secreting immunoglobulins of a specific isotype cause an expansion of T lymphocytes bearing FcR specific for the corresponding isotype. The expansion of FcR+ Lyt-1-2+ T lymphocytes likely represents an exaggerated, but otherwise normal, immunoregulatory response of the host. These cells may be an important element in the regulation of isotype expression.
