The in vitro antibody response of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from 19 patients with untreated systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was compared with that of 20 control patients and 44 normal subjects. Trinitrophenyl polyacrylamide beads (TNP-PAA) were used to induce IgM anti-TNP plaque-forming cells. SLE patients displayed a markedly depressed, and in most instances virtually absent, response. This was not due to an unusual kinetics of the response; nor could it be induced by preincubation of SLE patients' PBL. In co-cultures of SLE patients and normal PBL, the former, with few exceptions, did not exert a suppressive effect. In four patients the anti-TNP response of either unfractionated or T-depleted SLE PBL could be restored by T cells from a normal individual. Conversely in three of these patients, SLE T cells could not support the response of normal B cells, suggesting a T helper cell defect in SLE PBL. Concanavalin A (Con A)-induced suppressor cells of the antibody response could be assayed by two approaches: (a) in responder SLE patients, by the direct addition of Con A to TNP-PAA-stimulated cultures; (b) in seven patients by transfer of Con A-activated cells to the responding culture of a normal allogeneic donor. In both cases SLE PBL were able to exert a suppressive effect to the same extent as normal PBL.
