Haplotype-specific suppression of antibody responses in vitro. III. Haplotype-specific suppressor factor (TsF-H) binds to but fails to suppress responses by the I-A mutant strain B6.C-H-2bm12.
Spleen cells from C57BL/6 and B6.C-H-2bm12 mice, both responder strains to GAT, differ in their ability to be suppressed by the monoclonal I-A-restricted, nonantigen-specific, but haplotype-specific suppressor factor, TsF-H, from the hybridoma 266A4.5. Whereas GAT-specific responses by C57BL/6 spleen cells are susceptible to TsF-H-mediated suppression, responses by bm12 spleen cells are nonsuppressible under the same conditions. Responses of both C57BL/6 and bm12 spleen cells are suppressed by monoclonal GAT-specific suppressor factors. The inability of TsF-H to suppress responses by the bm12 spleen cells presumably reflects the effects of the mutation in the beta-chain of the I-A antigen in this strain on the required I-A restriction between TsF-H and target cell for manifestation of suppressive activity. The data are discussed in terms of involvement of I-A or recognition of I-A in mediating suppression.
