Adult C57BL/6 mice were injected with 100 micrograms of soluble, freshly deaggregated human serum albumin (HSA) to produce partial immunologic tolerance. Uninjected normal control (N) mice contain only approximately 100 B cells in their spleens with the capacity to (i) be activated in vitro into clonal proliferation by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide plus interleukins 2, 4, and 5, (ii) form IgG1 as well as IgM antibody, and (iii) display specificity for HSA when only IgG1 is allowed to score in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Such N mice generate approximately 50,000 clonable anti-HSA IgG1 antibody-forming cell precursors in their spleens after T-dependent immunization with HSA absorbed onto alum and given with Bordetella pertussis adjuvant. Mice preinjected with soluble HSA (TOL) generate far fewer anti-HSA IgG1 antibody-forming cell precursors, termed anti-HSA memory cells. Splenocytes were transferred from N or TOL mice into lethally irradiated syngeneic recipients together with syngeneic bone marrow. Whereas N splenocytes generated plentiful memory cells within 2 weeks in antigenically challenged recipients, TOL splenocytes did not. Work with Ly-5 congenic mice ruled out memory cell generation from either the host or the bone marrow inoculum within this limited time. N T cells plus TOL B cells showed consistently lowered memory cell generation. TOL T cells plus N B cells showed an even greater lowering of adoptive memory cell generation. Thus the lowered response capacity of TOL mice resided in the T- and B-cell compartments. Attempts to show a suppressor component within the T-cell population were inconclusive, but a profound defect in capacity to respond to HSA in vitro was exhibited by the CD4+ T cells of TOL mice. B lymphocytes were harvested from T-dependently immunized mice 5 days after challenge, incubated with soluble HSA for 18 hr, and then adoptively transferred together with N T cells. The recently activated B cells were not rendered tolerant by this manipulation. The results argue for a major T-cell component in the process whereby soluble protein antigens ablate affinity maturation and memory cell generation.
