In vivo kinetics and nature of rat IgE-bearing lymphocytes after IgE stimulation. 1984

P Manouvriez, and H Bazin

Surface IgE-bearing (sIgE+) cells were studied in BN and rnu/rnu athymic rats after Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection or i.p. injection of unpurified or purified IgE from plasmacytoma ascitic fluid. The number of sIgE+ cells increased markedly after a serum IgE increase without change in the proportion of sIgM+ and sIgD+ cells. A high percentage of the sIgE+ cells bore cytophilic IgE. Receptors for IgE were induced with a 2.56-micrograms IgE injection/100 g body weight and reached a maximum with 1.6 mg IgE/100 g body weight. They appeared less than 4 hr after a single injection of purified IgE. The number of IgE receptor-bearing cells reached a maximum plateau at 24 hr to day 3 after injection and declined thereafter, to reach the control level on day 9 or 11 after injection. Nearly all the sIgE+ cells of BN rats also bore sIgD, but the number of triple sIgE-sIgM-sIgD+ cells varied in a wide range. Maximum 4.5% of the sIgE+ cells of euthymic rats were T cells. More than 98% of the sIgE+ cells of nude rats were triple sIgM-sIgD-sIgE+ cells, and the majority were cytophilic IgE+. For the most part, the sIgM-sIgD-sIgE+ cells are probably not cells that can differentiate, as generally accepted, in IgE-producing cells. New interpretations of the role of these triple sIgM-sIgD-sIgE+ cells in IgE immune responses are necessary.

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

D011947	Receptors, Antigen, B-Cell	IMMUNOGLOBULINS on the surface of B-LYMPHOCYTES. Their MESSENGER RNA contains an EXON with a membrane spanning sequence, producing immunoglobulins in the form of type I transmembrane proteins as opposed to secreted immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES) which do not contain the membrane spanning segment.
