The T-cell response to haptenated insulins. II. The antibody response

Immunology. 1989 Jan;66(1):45-8.

Abstract

As described in an accompanying paper, trinitrophenyl (TNP) modification of pork insulin (PI) at the A1 glycine position allows this molecule to stimulate a proliferative response in H-2b (B10) mice. We now show that this antigen stimulates low IgG responses in the same strain of mice. Our results show that T-cell help and proliferation may therefore be regulated independently.
