Quantitation of Ig-bearing Peripheral Lymphocytes
نویسنده
چکیده
Two patients are described with Crohn's disease and selective IgA deficiency. Serum IgA was undetectable in each case, and immunoperoxidase studies of the lamina propria showed a gross diminution of IgA-bearing plasma cells. Peripheral blood lymphocytes, however, showed normal numbers of IgA-bearing lymphocytes. The typical clinical course and histology in these two patients suggest that IgA-mediated responses in the mucosa are not involved in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease.

DELETION OF b5 IMMUNOGLOBULIN-BEARING LYMPHOCYTES IN ALLOTYPE-SUPPRESSED RABBITS
The proportion of peripheral blood lymphocytes with cell surface b5 immunoglobulin (Ig) was compared with serum b5 Ig levels in allotype-suppressed and recovering b5 homozygous rabbits in order to establish the cellular defect in suppression and to determine the relation between lymphocyte membrane Ig and secreted Ig of the same allotype. In rabbits fully suppressed for b5, the absence of circu...

AB STRA CT Proportions and total numbers of thymus-derived (T) and bone marrow-derived (B) peripheral blood lymphocytes were studied in 53 patients with acute rheumatic fever, diagnosed on the basis of modified Jones criteria. An elevation in both proportions and absolute numbers of cells bearing surface Ig was found in most patients, particularly during the first 7 days after onset. Conversely...
متن کاملB and T lymphocytes in primary immunodeficiency disease in man.
B- and T-cell populations in 32 patients with different forms of primary immunodeficiency disease were studied. The B-cells in peripheral blood were investigated with respect to surface immunoglobulins by means of immunofluorescence. The T-cell function was studied utilizing quantitation of proliferative response to phytochemagglutinin (PHA)(1) and delayed allergy to various antigens. In 10 pat...

The immunologic cell types of the Indian fruit bat, P. giganteus, were characterized on the basis of cell surface Ig markers. Rabbit anti-rat IgM and IgG demonstrated IgM or IgG bearing cells in the nylon wool adherent lymphocyte population, thereby suggesting their equivalence to the B cells of recently evolved mammals including man. Relative proportion of these Ig+ surface bearing cells was a...

Since Dray's original description of allotype suppression in the rabbit (1), suppression of immunoglobulin (Ig) 1 allotypes in mice (2, 3), of Ig classes in chickens (4) and mice (5), and of Ig idiotypes in mice (6) has been documented. Nonetheless, the mechanism by which exposure to appropriate anti-Ig antisera suppresses production of a specific allotype, class, or idiotype is not known. In t...
