Idiotypic restrictions are demonstrated in vitro for the cooperation between T [thymus-derived] and B [bone marrow-derived] lymphocytes with specificity for Group A streptococcal carbohydrate. T helper cells which were primed in vivo with anti-idiotypic antibodies [Ab] to the A5A idiotype and are A5A idiotype-positive, cooperate only with A5A idiotype-positive B cells, even when mixtures of A5A idiotype-positive and A5A idiotype-negative B cells are present. A5A idiotype-negative T helper cells that were primed in vivo with Group A streptococcal vaccine after in vivo suppression with anti-A5A idiotypic Ab are unable to cooperate with B cells which were primed with anti-A5A idiotype Ab and are A5A idiotype-positive. Mixtures of A5A idiotype-negative and A5A idiotype-positive T cells cooperate with A5A idiotype-negative and A5A idiotype-positive B cells. Idiotypic restrictions could not be demonstrated for T and B cells recognizing carrier and hapten determinants, respectively, in experiments in which the cooperation of genetically VH [H chain variable region]-identical T and B cells was compared to the cooperation of genetically VH-different T and B cells. Various models for the communication between T and B cells are discussed. For successful T-B cooperation, 2 types of T helper cells may be required, 1 recognizing the antigen and the other recognizing the idiotype of the B cell.
