The cellular requirements for B cell hyperactivity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were studied. Removal of either CD8+ or CD4+ lymphocytes markedly decreased the spontaneous in vitro production of polyclonal IgG and of antigen‐specific (anti‐double‐stranded DNA and antinucleoprotein) antibodies by SLE peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The CD8+ lymphocytes that sustained IgG production were CD3+, HLA‐DR+, and their activity was abrogated by preincubation with anti‐HLA‐DR monoclonal antibody. When both CD4+ and CD8+ cells were removed, the readdition of either subset partially restored polyclonal IgG production, but both cell subsets were required to reconstitute autoantibody production. Purified SLE B cell cultures, which generated only 15% of the IgG produced by unseparated PBMC, were fully reconstituted only by mixtures of CD4+ with CD8+ cells, and with CD8‐, CD4‐, CD16+ cells. At least part of the support for spontaneous IgG production can be attributed to endogenous interleukin‐2 and interleukin‐6.
