The immune adherence phenomenon in experimental candidiasis.

The immune adherence reaction was shown in experimental candidiasis. This phenomenon has not been previously described for candidiasis, to the best of our knowledge. Forty-eight sera of guinea pigs inoculated with a single or several inoculations of live Candida albicans were tested at different time intervals after inoculation for anti C. albicans antibodies detectable by the immune adherence reaction. From the 14th day after inoculation, a positive immune adherence reaction was observed with titer and strength increasing as time passed after inoculation and as the number of inoculations increased. All the sera were tested parallely in agglutination and indirect mast cell degranulation tests. The significance of the data obtained is discussed.

[Immune status of indefinitely surviving rat renal allograft recipients after short course of ALS-treatment Detection of a serum blocking factor by allorosette formation inhibition test (author's transl)].

53 LBNF1 kidneys were grafted into L-rats. 24 untreated recipients served as control and survived 16.1 +/- 1.7 days. 14 recipients were treated with 4 ml alloantiserum (ADS) each, and the other 15 animals with 4 ml ALS each. 9 and 10 of these 14 and 15 animals survived for more than 4 months. We performed GvH-reaction with spleen cells of these 19 animals. It showed normal cellular immune response. After splenectomy first donor specific skin was transplanted, 18 days later second skin of same origin (LBNF1) and 18' days after third party skin (LBufF1). The first grafts survived 13.1 +/- 1.9 days in the recipients of ADS treatment and 12.2 +/- 1.2 days in the recipients of ALS. Second skin grafts were rejected delayed in the former recipients as the first grafts, in the later more accelerated than the first grafts. The third grafts survived as the controls. Before and after skin grafting we could not detect lymphocytotoxin and hemagglutinin. The sera of animals with ADS therapy inhibited the spontaneous allorosette formation to 46.0 +/- 4.4% and of ALS therapy 37.7 +/- 9.2%. Our results suggest that after ALS treatment blocking antibodies were produced in the recipients and they cause the enhancement of kidney allograft.

Immune adherence of platelets to sensitized leukocytes: a model of hyperacute rejection.

Specifically hypersensitized recipients of canine renal allotransplants demonstrate an accumulation of host platelets in the transplanted kidney within minutes following implantation. Transplant function is ra,idly lost. The present work describes an in vitro model of this hyperacute rejection mechanism. Renal donor leukocytes sensitized with host serum are incubated with donor platelets. Within a few minutes the platelets adhere to the sensitized leukocytes to form rosettes. Serum complement is required for platelet rosette formation. Platelets act as indicators in this reaction and they may be obtained from any dog. Donor platelets were used to avoid the transfer of specific antibody to the test mixture. The in vitro model supports the view that hyperacute rejection in the dog is a specific example of the immune adherence reaction in which platelets bind to antigen-antibody-complement complexes.

Immune adherence in renal glomeruli. Complement receptor sites on glomerular capillary epithelial cells.

Several very recent reports have indicated the presence of receptor sites for the third component of complement in human but not other vertebrate renal glomeruli. The present study constitutes a demonstration that the glomerular capillary epithelial cell bears this receptor, detectable with either EAC complexes (EAC1423b) or fluores ceinated zymosan-C3 (ZC3b) complexes, Fresh, unfixed frozen sections of normal or diseased human kidneys, mechanically isolated human glomeruli, dissociated glomerular cells, and glomeruli and golmerular cells maintained in tissue culture were examined with various EAC complexes or ZC3b and examined by phase light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, or transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Clearly, by scanning electron microscopy it was determined that glomerular capillary epithelial cells bind the immune-adherence EAC indicator cells. Because glomeruli or glomerular epithelial cells did not bind E, EA, EACI, EAC14, or EAC142 but did bind EAC1423b or ZC3b, it is concluded that C3b (activated bound fragment of the third component of complement) is responsible for the immune-adherence reaction in glomeruli. Preliminary examination of diseased renal biopsies indicates that sclerotic glomeruli, focal segmental sclerotic or proliferative glomerular capillary lesions, and proliferative epithelial crescents are immune-adherence negative. Furthermore, a clear or consistent inverse relationship between glomerular capillary deposits of C3 which presumably might block epithelial C3 receptor sites, and immune-adherence reactivity with EAC in vitro was not as evident in this study as reported previously by other investigators. Nevertheless, it is still attractive to conceive that glomerular C3 receptor sites might be responsible for binding of antigen-antibody-complement complexes and formation of immune-complex deposits, at least on the epimembranous (subepithelial) surface of glomerular capillary walls. Inability to demonstrate this immune-adherence phenomenon in glomeruli of other vertebrate animals suggests among other things that more investigation is necessary before ascribing a unique or universal significance to the C3 receptors identified in human glomeruli.

Immune adherence: a quantitative and kinetic analysis.

Quantitative and kinetic analysis of the immune-adherence reaction (IA) between C3b fragments and IA receptors as an agglutination reaction is difficult. Analysis is possible, however, by use of radio-iodinated bovine serum albumin as antigen at low concentrations (less than 200 ng/ml) and optimal concentration of antibody to avoid precipitation of antigen--antibody complexes with human erythrocytes without participation of complement. Antigen and antibody are reacted at 37 degree C, complement is added, the mixture incubated and human erythrocytes added; after further incubation, ice-cold EDTA containing buffer is added and the erythrocytes centrifuged and assayed for radioactivity. Control cells reacted with heated guinea pig serum retained less than 5% of the added radioactivity. The method facilitates measurement of IA reactivity and permits more detailed analysis of the mechanism underlying the reaction.

Improved efficiency of mouse, guinea pig and human C3b inactivator at low ionic strength, and reproducible immune-adherence with mouse complement.

Inactivation of homologous C3b by heated guinea pig, mouse and human serum was found to be much more rapid and complete at low ionic strength (0.037) than at micron = 0.15. The C3b inactivator in human and mouse serum was somewhat unstable to heating at 56 degrees C. Heated guinea pig serum showed the greatest ability to inactivate heterologous C3b, and human serum the least. Suramin (1 mg/ml) completely blocked homologous C3b inactivation by heated human, guinea pig and mouse serum, and 0.1 mg/ml was effective with mouse but not with human or guinea pig serum. Immune-adherence reactions with mouse C3 produced somewhat unstable hemagglutination patterns, which were improved by using ovalbumin in the buffer and minimizing EAC exposure to warm temperatures. A prozone phenomenon was frequently observed in immune-adherence hemagglutination with mouse C3, and less frequently with guinea pig and human C3.

Maternal immunization to paternal antigens in multiparous mice.

Mice of the CBA strain which had given birth to five litters sired by males of a different H-2 type (C57BL/10) showed evidence of immunization to paternal antigens, in that the numbers of lymphocytes forming alloclusters with paternal erythrocytes were significantly elevated. On the other hand, the graft-versus-host responsiveness of maternal splenic lymphocytes to paternal antigens remained virtually unchanged, showing only a slight increase at Day 8 of the assay.

Identity of C3- and C5-receptors on lymphoid cells.

Tannic acid-treated SRBC, incubated with increasing concentrations of C5 (Etan-C5) can be attached to C3 receptor-carrying (Raji) cells. This binding is dependent on the amount of C5 on Etan-C5 and can be inhibited by pretreatment on the Raji cells with either C5 or C3. Similar inhibition by soluble C3 and C5, respectively, is obtained for the interaction between Raji cells and Etan-C3. In addition, the immune adherence reaction between Ehum and EAC1423b could be blocked by previous treatment of Ehum with C5 or C3. These results suggest the presence of binding sites for C5 on lymphoid cells and their identity with C3 receptors.

In vitro complement activation by rabbit lymphocytes and thymocytes in autologous serum.

The activation of C3, previously demonstrated to occur during the isolation of lymphocytes from rabbit blood, has been investigated further by in vitro exposure of blood and lymph node lymphocytes and thymocytes to autologous serum. Activated C3 deposited on the lymphoid cell-surface was detected by (i) anti-C3, (ii) immune adherence reaction, and (iii) blocking of receptors for C3. An affinity shown by guinea-pig erythrocytes for activated complement was also investigated. Using EGTA, which inhibits the classical complement pathway while leaving the alternative pathway unaffected, it was shown that either pathway may be activated by rabbit cells depending on the temperature of incubation. The classical pathway was triggered at 4 degrees, probably by the reaction of cold auto-antibodies with lymphoid cell-surface determinants. At 37 degrees, however, comlement activation followed the alternative pathway in a similar manner to that reported by other workers with human lymphoblastoid cell lines.
