Rosette formation of pig peripheral blood lymphocytes with sheep red blood cells. 1977

E Kaupp, and R Pabst, and F Trepel

Peripheral blood lymphocytes of normal young pigs formed spontaneous and EAC rosettes with sheep red blood cells. Pretreatment of the SRBC with a sulphydryl reagent increased the percentage of spontaneous rosettes and the number of SRBC bound by the lymphocytes. The influence of an incubation period prior to centrifugation and the duration and temperature of the following incubation were tested for spontaneous and EAC rosettes. The importance is stressed to define the number of bound SRBC to call a lymphocyte a "rosette-forming cell". Rosette formation is interpreted as a quantitative rather than a qualitative marker.

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
D004912	Erythrocytes	Red blood cells. Mature erythrocytes are non-nucleated, biconcave disks containing HEMOGLOBIN whose function is to transport OXYGEN.

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.

D013552	Swine	Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).	Phacochoerus,Pigs,Suidae,Warthogs,Wart Hogs,Hog, Wart,Hogs, Wart,Wart Hog
