Fetal bone marrow liver and spleen of gestational age 15-20 weeks contain CALLA+, HLA-DR+ lymphoid cells. We show that a proportion of them expresses surface membrane immunoglobulins (SIg) as well as B cell differentiation antigens. A multiple phenotypic analysis reveals that CALLA+ fetal B cells are: HLA-DR+, SIg+, FMC8+, BA1+, Y29.55+ or Y29.55-, B2+, TdT-. Tissue specific phenotypic differences concern the expression of B7 and HLA-DC on spleen but not on bone marrow B cells. This study indicates that the distribution of the CALL antigen across the B cell committed lineage is much wider in fetal than neonatal life since CALLA+B cells have not yet been detected in bone marrow and peripheral blood of normal infants and adults. In addition, the interpretation of our phenotypic data suggest that fetal bone marrow B cells are more immature than those present in the spleen, thus, further supporting the evidence that the bone marrow is the organ of B cell lymphopoiesis.

D011947 Receptors, Antigen, B-Cell IMMUNOGLOBULINS on the surface of B-LYMPHOCYTES. Their MESSENGER RNA contains an EXON with a membrane spanning sequence, producing immunoglobulins in the form of type I transmembrane proteins as opposed to secreted immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES) which do not contain the membrane spanning segment.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
