B cell and antibody-deprived B10.BR chronically suppressed by rabbit antimouse IgM serum rejected first-set allogeneic skin grafts as rapidly as control mice. We confirmed this finding using BALB/c mice born from B cell-deprived mothers and chronically treated with anti-IgM antibodies. Such mice had previously been shown to be agammaglobulinemic except for the suppressing monoclonal rat antimouse IgM antibody in their serum. These results indicate that in mice neither first nor accelerated second-set skin graft rejection reactions depend upon preexisting natural or specifically induced antibodies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.
