Isolation of highly purified lymphocyte subsets for functional studies by means of an indirect rosette technique. 1985

M van der Giessen, and S Postma, and T H The

An indirect rosette assay, utilizing ox erythrocytes (RBC) coupled with rabbit anti-mouse IgG and lymphocytes sensitized with monoclonal mouse antibodies against membrane markers, was used for purification of lymphocyte subsets that were functionally intact. Either peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or T lymphocytes isolated by sheep RBC rosetting could be used as starting material for obtaining pure T-cell subsets (T4 or T8). The following steps of the method were evaluated: the procedure of coupling rabbit anti-mouse IgG to ox RBC via the CrCl3 method, the experimental conditions for specific rosetting, and the use of Percoll for the separation of rosettes from the non-rosetting cells. Under optimal experimental conditions the recovery of positively selected cells was 45-55% of the cells originally present in the PBMC. The purity of these cells reached a value of more than 95%, whereas the contamination of the depleted fraction was less than 3%. The functional integrity, manifesting itself as proliferation after mitogen stimulation and as regulatory influences on in vitro Ig synthesis, appeared to be unimpaired. The described technique may be applied to the purification of various cell subpopulations for functional studies, provided monoclonal antibodies against membrane antigens are available.

D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

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
