It has been previously reported that trinitrophenylated lipopolysaccharide (TNP-LPS), a thymus-independent (TI)-1 antigen, elicits an anamnestic response to TNP in C57BL/6 mice. The ability of these mice to mount a secondary response to TI-2 antigens was analyzed. Priming with DNP-Ficoll or DNP-Dextran, both TI-2 antigens, resulted in an increased frequency of TNP-binding B lymphocytes. Evidence is presented that memory cell-induction by DNP-Ficoll does not require functional T cells. The differentiation into antibody-forming cells (AFC) of memory cells generated by DNP-Dextran or DNP-Ficoll cannot be obtained by a challenge with either antigen. There was no indication that the lack of a secondary response to TI-2 antigens was related to suppressive T cells interfering with memory expression. Memory cells induced by DNP-Dextran or DNP-Ficoll can nevertheless be activated by TNP-LPS. In contrast to the restricted sensitivity of TNP-memory cells generated by TI-2 antigens, TNP-LPS-induced memory cells are indifferently susceptible to TI-1 or TI-2 antigenic stimulation. These results are discussed in terms of memory B-cell subpopulations.

Generation of immune memory by haptenated derivatives of thymus-independent antigens in C57BL/6 mice. I. The differentiation of memory B lymphocytes into antibody-secreting cells depends on the nature of the thymus-independent carrier used for memory induction and/or revelation.
