title: [Mechanism of action of T cell factors regulating antibody formation].
abstract: While the induction of antibody synthesis depends on antigen specific T cell factors, its magnitude is under control of non antigen specific T cell factors. In this respect, TRF ("T cell Replacing Factor") amplifies antibody responses while IBF ("Immunoglobulin Binding Factor") acts as a suppressor factor. Using cultures of spleen cells from nude mice, we show that both factors act sequentially, influencing the final differenciation of B cells to antibody producing cells. We have no evidence of direct interaction between TRF and IBF.
