Abstract
The genetic requirements of carrier recognition were examined in the priming and elicitation of hapten specific, T-cell mediated, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses. It was shown that nitrophenyl acetyl-poly-(L-glu56-L-lys35-L-phe9) (NP-GLO) could prime for NP responses only in strains of mice which are Ir gene responders to GLO. In contrast to this requirement, NO-GLO could elicit an NP-specific response in NP-bovine gamma globulin primed mice, even in GLO nonresponder strains. Furthermore, the nonimmunogenic molecule, NP-GL, could elicit an NP-specific DTH response in animals primed with NP on an immunogenic carrier.Entities:
