Structure and biologic functions of human IgD. X. Enhancement of PHA responsiveness by anti-delta-activated lymphocytes. 1976

V Kermani-Arab, and D R Burger, and G A Leslie

Human peripheral lymphocytes with the capacity to be stimulated by anti-delta exhibited in PHA responsiveness when cultured with anti-delta 1 or 12 hr before PHA exposure over cells exposed to PHA alone. When these lymphocytes were preincubated with PHA 1 or 12 hr before anti-delta activation, no augmentation of the PHA response was seen. In addition, lymphocytes from donors with a high PHA response (low anti-delta activation) failed to show an enhancing effect on PHA responsiveness when pretreated with anti-delta. Moreover, anti-mu showed no synergistic effect on PHA responsiveness. This study is the first to indicate that anti-delta-activated cells enhance PHA responsiveness.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007072	Immunoglobulin D	An immunoglobulin which accounts for less than 1% of plasma immunoglobulin. It is found on the membrane of many circulating B LYMPHOCYTES.	IgD,IgD1,IgD2
D007138	Immunoglobulin delta-Chains	The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN D.

D007148	Immunoglobulin mu-Chains	The class of heavy chains found in IMMUNOGLOBULIN M. They have a molecular weight of approximately 72 kDa and they contain about 57 amino acid residues arranged in five domains and have more oligosaccharide branches and a higher carbohydrate content than the heavy chains of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G.

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.

D006041	Goats	Any of numerous agile, hollow-horned RUMINANTS of the genus Capra, in the family Bovidae, closely related to the SHEEP.	Capra,Capras,Goat

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. 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.

D037102	Lectins	Proteins that share the common characteristic of binding to carbohydrates. Some ANTIBODIES and carbohydrate-metabolizing proteins (ENZYMES) also bind to carbohydrates, however they are not considered lectins. PLANT LECTINS are carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been primarily identified by their hemagglutinating activity (HEMAGGLUTININS). However, a variety of lectins occur in animal species where they serve diverse array of functions through specific carbohydrate recognition.
