Brief Summary: One of the major interests of this laboratory is the characterization of the cellular subpopulations involved in the triggering and immunoregulation of B lymphocytes to produce antibodies We are assessing the responses of individuals to produce antibodies against newly encountered antigens such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin KLH approved project number 77-I-0130 and propose to assess the amnestic responses to the previously encountered antigen tetanus toxoid The purpose of this protocol is to add this recall antigen to our repertoire of antigens used to evaluate the immune response in man

Booster immunization with tetanusdiphtheria toxoid has now been used for several years by a number of clinical immunology laboratories throughout the country to assess B cell related immunologic profiles in patients and control normal subjects We have recently developed a sensitive ELISA assay for IgM and IgG in vitro specific antibody responses against tetanus toxoid This will allow us to carefully and precisely monitor the evolution and immunoregulation of the human B cell responses to this recall antigen This is of particular importance and relevance to us in our ongoing studies of a number of diseases characterized by abnormalities of immunologic reactivity including those treated with various regimens of immunosuppressive agents
