Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of splenectomized patients are unable to differentiate into immunoglobulin-secreting cells after pokeweed mitogen stimulation. 1984

The function of B cells from the peripheral blood of splenectomized patients has been investigated at the cellular level. The peripheral blood of these patients contained normal numbers of mononuclear cells (MNC) spontaneously secreting IgG and IgM, but an increased amount of IgA-secreting cells. In contrast to MNC isolated from healthy controls, the patients' peripheral blood MNC were unable to differentiate into immunoglobulin-secreting cells in a pokeweed mitogen-driven culture system. Proliferation in response to pokeweed mitogen, however, was significantly higher with patient MNC as compared to control MNC.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
