A high frequency of nonadherent mononuclear cells in human cord blood proliferates in response to mycobacterial 65-kDa heat-shock protein. The frequency range in cord blood is not different from that in peripheral blood of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccinated adults. In comparison we found 10 to 100 times lower frequencies to purified protein derivative in nonadherent cord blood mononuclear cells than in adult peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These findings may provide experimental support for Cohen's theory of the immunological homonculus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D009161 Mycobacterium A genus of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria. Most species are free-living in soil and water, but the major habitat for some is the diseased tissue of warm-blooded hosts. Mycobacteria
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA.
