RESUMO
The immunoglobulin M (IgM) and the IgG1, IgG2ab, and IgG3 subclasses of plaque-forming cells (PFC) specific for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were measured after immunization of mice with LPS alone and compared with the responses to LPS in combination with nonbacterial proteins and with bacterial membrane phospholipid vesicles or two major outer membrane proteins from Proteus mirabilis. The relative numbers of IgG PFC belonging to the IgG1, IgG2, or IgG3 subclasses induced by immunization with LPS alone depended upon the type of LPS administered. Phospholipids and the proteins effected characteristic alterations in not only the strength but also the subclass of the IgG responses to LPS. The results suggest that the hydrophobic-hydrophilic nature or state of aggregation of the preparations plays a role in the induction of IgG1 and IgG2 subclasses of PFC specific for LPS. Complex formation with LPS and adjuvant was apparently necessary to obtain these effects.
