Serum IgE levels were determined in different strains of mice with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using rat monoclonal anti-murine IgE antibodies in normal and in Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-infected mice. After infection, serum IgE levels were high in BALB/c and CB-20, low in SJL/J and SJA/20 mice, and not detected at all in SJA/9 and nude mice. Surface IgE-positive cells were greatly increased in BALB/c and SJL/J mice after infection, but not in SJA/9 and nude mice. Most surface IgE-positive spleen cells were also surface IgM- and surface IgD-positive. When spleen cells from SJA/9 or nude mice were stimulated in vitro with lipopolysaccharide and recombinant interleukin 4 (formerly B cell-stimulating factor 1), IgE was produced and detected in the supernatants of these cultures. In addition, surface IgE-positive cells could be detected in these cultures. Most of the surface IgE-positive cells were surface IgM- and surface IgD-negative, unlike those seen in the spleens of Nippostrongylus-infected BALB/c and SJL/J mice. These observations show that SJA/9 and nude mice have IgE-producing precursor B cells, and after appropriate stimulation interleukin 4 can induce them to secrete IgE.
