Rabbit spleen B lymphocytes as helper cells in lymphocyte activation by concanavalin A and phytohaemagglutinin. 1982

J M Cavaillon, and T N Udupa, and C T Chou, and B Cinader, and S Dubiski

Using rosetting methods, we have purified rabbit B cells and studied their interactions with T cells purified by passage over an anti-immunoglobulin-coated Degalan beads column. B cells enhance the response of T cells to concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohaemagglutinin. In regulation of the response to Con A, an adherent cell is a third participating cell. B-cell preparation contain a minority of cells that can respond to T mitogens with the help of non-proliferating T cells, but the proportion of these responding cells is small, and the involvement of the T-cell impurity cannot be excluded.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008211 Lymphocyte Cooperation T-cell enhancement of the B-cell response to thymic-dependent antigens. Cooperation, Lymphocyte,Cooperations, Lymphocyte,Lymphocyte Cooperations
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. Blast Transformation,Blastogenesis,Lymphoblast Transformation,Lymphocyte Stimulation,Lymphocyte Transformation,Transformation, Blast,Transformation, Lymphoblast,Transformation, Lymphocyte,Activation, Lymphocyte,Stimulation, Lymphocyte
D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001402 B-Lymphocytes Lymphoid cells concerned with humoral immunity. They are short-lived cells resembling bursa-derived lymphocytes of birds in their production of immunoglobulin upon appropriate stimulation.
