2004 AUG 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Transient suppression of IgG1 occurs with IL-6 overexpression in immunized TCR-transgenic mice.

"Helper T cell-derived cytokines play a pivotal role in the production of antigen-specific IgG antibody by B cells. In order to examine the in vivo effect of massive activation of helper T cells on the production of specific antibodies, ovalbumin (OVA)-specific TCR transgenic mice (OVA23-3) were immunized with OVA and serum levels of antigen-specific antibodies were measured. As a result, a great enhancement of antigen-specific IgM secretion and delay of IgG secretion were observed while the T cells produced sufficient Th2 cytokines," scientists in Japan report.

"Immediately after OVA-immunization, marked increase of serum IL-6 was noted, which was followed by a transient increase of antibody forming cells," said Yoshie Kametani and colleagues at Tokai University. "Both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that excess amount of IL-6 enhanced IgM production by activated B cells while suppressing ...
