Haemagglutinins produced in vitro by human lymphoblastoid cells. 1976

A W Joss, and J Evans, and D T Veitch, and E Arthur, and C M Steel

Haemagglutinins in the supernatants of four human lymphoblastoid lines have been partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, centrifugation on a sucrose gradient or passage through a Sephadex G-200 column. Haemagglutinating activity in all cases appears to be associated with a high molecular weight fraction with the characteristics of IgM and activity can be recovered by elution of material adsorbed onto an anti-IgM column. On iso-electric focusing, a very small number of molecular species seems to be involved. It is likely that these lines constitute the first in vitro human systems in which the synthesis of homogenous immunoglobulins with known antibody specificity can be studied.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002499 Centrifugation, Density Gradient Separation of particles according to density by employing a gradient of varying densities. At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density.
