Introduction of the CBA/N X-linked gene into C3H mice has resulted in the establishment of a new strain of mice that has profound immunologic defects. B cells from these mice show significantly impaired in vitro immune responses to the T cell-independent type 1 antigen trinitrophenyl-Brucella abortus (TNP-BA) as well as markedly reduced proliferative responses to a number of B cell mitogens when compared with the responses of the parental control mice. The in vivo response of such mice to TNP-BA is, however, comparable to that of CBA/N mice. Furthermore, B cells from C3.CBA/N mice are unresponsive to the plaque-forming cell enhancing effects induced by EL4-derived supernatant in the presence of TNP-BA, unlike B cells obtained from CBA/N or C3H/Hen mice whose responsiveness to TNP-BA can be significantly enhanced in the presence of EL4-derived supernatant. The model we have presented to best explain these results suggests that B cells from C3.CBA/N mice can be stimulated only under conditions in which they can interact with carrier-specific T cell help and not under conditions where factor-dependent responses are dominant.

As a prelude to primate studies, the immunogenicity of wild-type and codon-optimized versions of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)agm Gag DNA, with and without co-administered granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) DNA, was directly compared in two strains of mice. Gag-specific T cells in the splenocytes of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice immunized by gene gun were quantified by ELISpot using panels of overlapping synthetic peptides (15mers) spanning the entire capsid proteins of SIVagm, SIVmac and human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Specific antibodies were measured by ELISA. Codon optimization was shown to significantly increase the immune response to the DNA immunogens, reducing the amount of DNA necessary to induce cellular and antibody responses by one and two orders of magnitude, respectively. Co-administration of murine GM-CSF DNA was necessary for the induction of high level T- and B-cell responses. Finally, it was possible to identify both known and novel T-cell epitopes in the Gag proteins of the three viruses.
