title: Regulation of IgG production by suppressor Fc gamma RII+ T hybridomas.
abstract: In this work, we analyzed the immunoglobulin heavy (H) and light (L) chain production by two variant B hybridomas, UN2.C3 and UN2.C17.K1 co-cultured with cells from a Fc gamma RII+, IgG-binding factor (IgG-BF)-producer T hybridoma (T2D4.C1) or with cells of a Fc gamma RII-, IgG-BF-nonproducer variant (D10C5). We showed that only the Fc gamma RII+ hybridoma directly inhibits the IgG secretion by UN2.C3 through a soluble mediator. This inhibition affects the H and L chain synthesis as well as the H and L chain-encoding mRNA steady state. No apparent cytotoxic effect could be detected. In contrast, the production of kappa chain by an H chain-negative variant (UN2.C17.K1) was unaffected. This indicates that a complete IgG molecule is required to observe the inhibitory effect induced by T2D4.C1. The pattern of effector/target cell interactions observed in our work suggests that the soluble factor involved in the suppression of IgG production is IgG-BF, able to transiently modify the IgG gene expression in target cells.
