title: Hapten-specific responses to the phenyltrimethylamino hapten. V. A single chain antigen-binding I-J+ first-order T suppressor factor requires antigen to induce anti-idiotypic second-order suppressor T cells.
abstract: We have previously shown that a single i.p. injection of the monovalent antigen, L-tyrosine-p-azophenyltrimethylammonium in complete Freund's adjuvant induces a Ly-1+2-, idiotype-bearing, and antigen-binding first-order T suppressor (Ts1) population. We showed that soluble factors extracted from these cells could suppress delayed-type hypersensitivity responses if administered at the induction phase of the response. In this paper we additionally characterize the suppressor factor, TsF1, with respect to its biologic, serologic, and chemical properties. The studies show that the TsF1 is neither allotype nor H-2 restricted and can induce anti-idiotypic T suppressor cells (Ts2), but it requires the presence of antigen to do so. The factor binds antigen, bears I-J encoded determinants, is resistant to reduction and alkylation, and elutes as a single chain factor after adsorption onto monoclonal anti-I-J antibody-coupled Sepharose beads in the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT). This is in marked contrast to TsF2 (derived from Id-specific Ts2-containing spleen cells), which lost its suppressive activity after reduction and alkylation, and behaves as a two chain factor after adsorption and elution from anti-I-J-coupled beads in the presence of DTT. The TsF1 is discussed with respect to the properties of it and those of TsF1 from other similar idiotype-dominated antigen systems.
