Lymphocytes forming stable E-rosettes in acute and chronic hepatitis. 1979

M H Wansbrough-Jones, and G H Scullard, and A Nicholson, and A L Eddleston, and R Williams

Lymphocytes forming E-rosettes with sheep erythrocytes which do not disintegrate at 37 degrees C have been demonstrated in increased numbers in peripheral blood of patients with acute type B hepatitis (6--20% of lymphocytes) and with HBsAg negative active chronic hepatitis (9--28% of lymphocytes). They were not increased in patients with HBsAg positive active chronic hepatitis. Such lymphocytes were adherent to nylon wool and a large proportion of them had FcIgG receptors (21--69%). These are properties of a subpopulation of T lymphocytes having suppressor function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007141 Immunoglobulin Fc Fragments Crystallizable fragments composed of the carboxy-terminal halves of both IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fc fragments contain the carboxy-terminal parts of the heavy chain constant regions that are responsible for the effector functions of an immunoglobulin (COMPLEMENT fixation, binding to the cell membrane via FC RECEPTORS, and placental transport). This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.
