The reactivity of B73.1 monoclonal antibody was evaluated on unseparated and on T cell-depleted and T cell-enriched fractions of both cord blood lymphocytes (CBL) and adult peripheral blood lymphocytes (a-PBL). The reactivity of this monoclonal antibody with the E-, OKT3-, OKT8+, HNK-1- subset of CBL, previously demonstrated to have NK activity, was also studied. The data show that B73.1+ cells were present in similar percentages in CBL and a-PBL while HNK-1+ cells were very low in CBL. In addition the B73.1 monoclonal antibody reacted with about 50% of the E-, OKT3-, OKT8+, HNK-1- CBL and within this subset the majority of the B73.1+ cells were PNA-. These data support the hypothesis that part of this neonatal subpopulation, belongs to the NK cell lineage. Moreover the results obtained by double-labelling with B73.1 monoclonal antibody and PNA suggest that the E-, OKT3-, OKT8+, HNK-1- CBL include either different subsets or various differentiation stages of the same subset.

D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D008212 Lymphocyte Depletion Immunosuppression by reduction of circulating lymphocytes or by T-cell depletion of bone marrow. The former may be accomplished in vivo by thoracic duct drainage or administration of antilymphocyte serum. The latter is performed ex vivo on bone marrow before its transplantation. Depletion, Lymphocyte
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
D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.
