B cells primed in vivo with mouse or rat thyroglobulin present these antigens at very low concentrations to CH9, an Ly 1+2- T cell hybridoma specific for mouse and rat thyroglobulin. Presentation measured by interleukin 2 release from CH9 is sensitive to treatment with a monoclonal antibody eliminating splenic B cells but is unaffected by anti-Thy-1.2 or 33D1 (which destroy T cells and dendritic cells, respectively). Presentation is specific for the priming antigen and is blocked by preincubation of the B cells with sheep anti-mouse F(ab')2. We suggest that in this system, primed B cells present thyroglobulin and that this may represent a means by which an initial triggering event priming both B and T cells could allow maintenance of autoreactive responses in vivo in the presence of low concentrations of circulating antigen.
