A series of B cell hybridomas was used as a model system to assess quantitatively the role of Ia molecules in antigen presentation to allo- or soluble antigen-reactive T cell clones. These hybrid cell lines were established by fusion between the HGPRT- BALB/c B [mouse] cell lymphoma M12.4.1 and LPS [lipopolysaccharide]-stimulated spleen blasts from B10.BR (H-2k) mice. Quantitative cellular absorption of appropriate anti-Ia monoclonal antibodies and flow cytofluorometric analyses revealed that the B cell hybridomas examined expressed constitutively a number of surface I-Ak or I-Ek molecules that varied in an order of magnitude of 1-5. Such quantitative differences were correlated precisely with the capacity of B cell hybridomas to activate T cell clones to proliferate and/or to produce interleukin 2 in response to E.beta.k allodeterminant or to poly(Glu60Ala30Tyr10) presented in the context of I-Ak restriction element, and the amount of monoclonal anti-I-Ak antibody required to inhibit antigen presentation to T cell clones. The possible implications of these data are discussed in the context of current models of regulation of Ia antigen expression by antigen-presenting cells.
