Properties of antisera against lymphocytes of nude mice. 1978

W Rudnicka, and H Długońska, and P Zelazowski, and K Szewczyk, and T Gościcka

The activity of rabbit antisera against nu/nu BALB/c lymphocytes was estimated in vivo and in vitro. It was found that anti-lymphocyte serum (ALS) against nu/nu lymph node cells suppressed the alloantigen reaction and the spontaneous rosette-forming cell (sRFC) or plaque-forming cell (PFC) formation for T-dependent (sheep red blood cells) and T-independent (lipopolysaccharide) antigens. ALS against nu/nu spleen cells affected only the sRFC and PFC for T-independent antigen. The former serum exhibited a high cytotoxicity for the suspensions enriched or depleted in B cells, while the latter was more cytotoxic for the suspension enriched in B cells. This may indicate that ALS anti-nu/nu spleen cells is specific for B lymphocytes, and ALS anti nu/nu lymph node cells is directed not only to B cells but also to a subpopulation of T lymphocytes. It may suggest the existence of a subpopulation of T lymphocytes in nu/nu lymph node cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
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

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
