TLDR
These studies indicate that the enhancing effect of carrier preimmunization reflects a cooperative interaction between lymphoid cells specific for carrier and cells specialized for haptenic determinants, and the capacity of a substance to behave as a carrier requires more than its possession of a variety of antigenic determinants.Abstract:
Transfer of live lymphoid cells from BGG-immunized strain 2 guinea pigs into syngeneic animals primed with DNP-OVA prepares the recipients for a markedly enhanced secondary anti-DNP antibody response upon challenge with DNP-BGG. This phenomenon has been demonstrated when the recipients were challenged 1 day after cell transfer, but it was considerably more striking when an interval of 6 days was allowed between transfer of cells and challenge with antigen. As demonstrated in the preceding paper (6), BGG preimmunization enhanced anti-DNP antibody responses to challenge with DNP-BGG. An analysis of the characteristics of substances to which preimmunization was effective in enhancing subsequent anti-hapten responses was made. It was shown that preimmunization of strain 13 guinea pigs with a copolymer of glutamic acid and lysine (GL), to which these animals are genetically unable to accord an immune response, failed to prepare them for an enhanced anti-DNP response to DNP-GL. Tolerance to BGG specifically abrogated the capacity of subsequent BGG immunization to prepare DNP-OVA primed rabbits for an enhanced anti-DNP response to DNP-BGG. Sensitization of animals to haptens by preimmunization with hapten-protein conjugates failed to prepare them for enhanced primary or secondary antibody responses to other determinants associated with that hapten on a different carrier. These studies indicate that the enhancing effect of carrier preimmunization reflects a cooperative interaction between lymphoid cells specific for carrier and cells specialized for haptenic determinants. Furthermore, the capacity of a substance to behave as a carrier requires more than its possession of a variety of antigenic determinants.read more

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the intimate mechanisms of the regulation of antibody responses by T cells, the significance of these phenomena for the regulatory processes of the immune system, and their possible implication for the pathogenesis of various immunopathological states.

Two distinct types of helper T cells involved in the secondary antibody response: independent and synergistic effects of Ia- and Ia+ helper T cells.
TL;DR: There are two distinct pathways in the T- and B-cell collaboration, which involves two different subsets of carrier- specific helper T cells which act independently and synergistically to augment the B- cell response to a hapten.

Cross-reactivity of IgE antibodies to allergens.
TL;DR: It is expected that similarity in short stretches of the linear amino‐acid sequence is unlikely to result in relevant cross‐reactivity between two proteins unless there is similarity in the protein fold.

The adsorption of proteins on erythrocytes treated with tannic acid and subsequent hemagglutination by antiprotein sera
TL;DR: Treatment of sheep erythrocytes with suitable concentrations of tannic acid render them capable of adsorbing certain protein molecules from solution in saline, and small amounts of the antigens can be detected through their power to inhibit hemagglutination of the treated cells.

TL;DR: The results were considered to support the concept that memory resides in the T cell population and that collaboration between T and B cells is necessary for an optimal secondary antibody response.

TL;DR: It is concluded that thoracic duct lymph contains a mixture of cell types: some are hemolysin-forming cell precursors and others are antigen-reactive cells which can interact with antigen and initiate the differentiation of hemoly sin-forming Cell precursor to antibody-forming cells.
