Anti-immunoglobulin, cytoplasmic free calcium, and capping in B lymphocytes
This paper examines, in mouse spleen lymphocytes, the effect of anti-immunoglobulin (anti-Ig) on the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, measured with the fluorescent indicator quin2, and the relationship of [Ca2+]i to the capping of surface Ig. Anti-Ig causes a rapid rise of [Ca2+], which precedes capping. Assuming that only those 40-50% of the cells which can bind anti-Ig (the B ...
متن کاملBlocking and Redistribution ("capping") of Antigen Receptors on T and B Lymphocytes by Anti-immunoglobulin Antibody
Antigen-binding T and B lymphocytes were studied by combined autoradiography and immunofluorescence; mouse spleen lymphocytes binding the antigens, [(125)I]MSH or [(125)I]TIGAL, were incubated with rhodamine-labeled anti-Ig reagents or with a rhodamine-labeled IgG fraction of anti-theta serum. B cells were identified as Ig+ or theta-, T cells as Ig- or theta+. It was found that: (a) 20% (1-2 mo...
متن کاملTransmembrane signaling by the B subunit of cholera toxin: increased cytoplasmic free calcium in rat lymphocytes
It has previously been shown that the B subunit of cholera toxin, which binds solely to the plasma membrane ganglioside GM1, stimulates the proliferation of rat thymic lymphocytes (Spiegel, S., P. H. Fishman, and R. J. Weber, 1985, Science [Wash. DC], 230:1285-1287). The purpose of this study was to identify which transmembrane signaling system(s) are activated by the B subunit of cholera toxin...
متن کاملAnti-immunoglobulin M activates nuclear calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in human B lymphocytes
We and others have previously shown that the nuclear protein, Ets-1, is phosphorylated in a calcium-dependent manner after ligation of immunoglobulin (Ig) M on B lymphocytes. As this phosphorylation was independent of protein kinase C activity, we tested whether a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) might phosphorylate the Ets-1 protein after elevation of intracellular free...
متن کاملFrequency of B lymphocytes responsive to anti-immunoglobulin
The frequency of murine B lymphocytes that respond to antibodies directed against membrane IgM was measured. These anti-mu antibodies induced all, or almost all, resting B cells to enlarge over the first 24 h of stimulation. This probably represents the transition from the resting state (G0) to active transit through the cell cycle. In contrast, only a fraction of these cells, approximately 60%...
