Properties of bispecific rosette-forming cells. III.---Antigen binding cells with double specificity after immunization with two covalently linked antigens. 1976

P Lesavre, and J F Bach

Adult C57B1/6 mice were immunized with bovine serumalbumin and horse radish peroxidase administered simultaneously but either separated or covalently linked by glutaraldehyde treatment. The percentage of double rosettes formed with both antigens (coupled to red cells) as compared to the total rosette forming cells reached 20% when mice had been injected by the conjugate whereas it remained less than 2% in case of separate antigen administrations. In addition, these bispecific rosettes were inhibited after anti-theta serum plus complement treatment.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007104	Immune Adherence Reaction	A method for the detection of very small quantities of antibody in which the antigen-antibody-complement complex adheres to indicator cells, usually primate erythrocytes or nonprimate blood platelets. The reaction is dependent on the number of bound C3 molecules on the C3b receptor sites of the indicator cell.

D008810	Mice, Inbred C57BL	One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D006735	Horseradish Peroxidase	An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology.

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.

D000918	Antibody Specificity	The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site.	Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D000961	Antilymphocyte Serum	Serum containing GAMMA-GLOBULINS which are antibodies for lymphocyte ANTIGENS. It is used both as a test for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY and therapeutically in TRANSPLANTATION.
