Cells producing autoantibodies are known to be present in chronically inflamed periodontal tissues. In sites of chronic inflammation, polyclonal B cell activators (PBA) are known to exhibit adjuvant activity when combined with foreign antigens. These results prompted an examination of PBA in eliciting an antibody response to an autoantigen (i.e. collagen type I). Rat lymphocytes were stimulated with rat collagen (type I), microbial PBA (LPS) or the combination of LPS plus rat collagenin vitro. Anti‐collagen antibody‐forming cells (AFC) were enumerated using anELISPOTassay. Collagen or LPS alone elicited few anti‐collagen AFC but the addition of LPS to collagen resulted in a substantial adjuvant effect and yielded maximal responses to collagen. Comparisons of anti‐collagenAFCfrom short‐term immunized (2‐6 wk after booster), non‐immunized and long‐term immunized (3‐4 months after booster) animals were performed. It revealed that cells from recently immunized rats werc significantly easier to activate than the other 2 groups. The adjuvant effect of microbialPBAmay be important in anti‐collagen antibody production and thus the localization of PBA in periodontal pockets may explain why anti‐ collagenAFCare restricted to the chronically inflamed periodontal tissues.
