Studies on B- and T-cell receptors for lysozyme. 1975

J Charreire, and A Faure, and J F Bach

BALB/c mice have been immunized by intravenous administration of native or reduced and alkylated lysozyme. Primary immune response to these antigens was studied at the humoral level (by the Farr assay) and at the cellular level (by the rosette and the plaque assays using lysozyme coupled to sheep or pigeon erythrocytes). Antibodies and theta-negative RFC were specific for the antigen used for immunization. Specific inhibition of theta-negative RFC after incubation with the soluble immunizing antigen confirmed this specificity. Conversely, most theta-positive RFC had double specificity both to native and denatured lysozyme and showed lower avidity for the immunizing antigen, as shown by inhibition studies with soluble antigen. These data suggest that T cells have a broader specificity for lysozyme than B cells and also that, in this particular system, cytophilic antibodies are probably not responsible for the formation of theta-positive rosettes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007104 Immune Adherence Reaction A method for the detection of very small quantities of antibody in which the antigen-antibody-complement complex adheres to indicator cells, usually primate erythrocytes or nonprimate blood platelets. The reaction is dependent on the number of bound C3 molecules on the C3b receptor sites of the indicator cell.

D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin.

D005260 Female Females
D006462 Hemolytic Plaque Technique A method to identify and enumerate cells that are synthesizing ANTIBODIES against ANTIGENS or HAPTENS conjugated to sheep RED BLOOD CELLS. The sheep red blood cells surrounding cells secreting antibody are lysed by added COMPLEMENT producing a clear zone of HEMOLYSIS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
