Title: Complement receptor lymphocytes. Analysis of immunoglobin on their surface and further evidence of heterogeneity.
Abstract: Mouse complement receptor lymphocytes (CRL) were detected by a rosetting method. The existence of an immunoglobulin class or subclass on the central rosetting cell wasstudied by immunofluorescence using rabbit antisera specific for mouse IgM, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgA. Combining immunofluorescence for each immunoglobulin and for T cells with cytoxic removal of T cells, CRL were demonstrated to include immunoglobulin-bearing cells of all the classes and subclasses tested (IgM being the main one), a 'null' cell subpopulation, and some T cells. A scheme describingthe various nature of CRL is discussed and correlated with possible functions.
