Surface immunoglobulins and lymphocyte adhesiveness in dystreptic children. 1977

W Prusek

Surface immunoglobulins and lymphocyte adhesiveness were studied in 32 malnourished children. Percentages of lymphocytes carrying surface immunoglobulins showed marked dispersion in dystreptic children. Compared with the group of healthy children of the same age groups dystreptic children showed no significant differences in the percentages of lymphocytes with surface immunoglobulins of different classes or of their sum. The morphologic composition of lymphocytes in dystreptic, compared with healthy children, was similar, but adhesiveness of small lymphocytes was higher in dystreptic children.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
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
D009748 Nutrition Disorders Disorders caused by nutritional imbalance, either overnutrition or undernutrition. Nutritional Disorders,Nutrition Disorder,Nutritional Disorder
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. Antigen Receptors, B-Cell,B-Cell Antigen Receptor,B-Cell Antigen Receptors,Surface Immunoglobulin,Immunoglobulins, Membrane-Bound,Immunoglobulins, Surface,Membrane Bound Immunoglobulin,Membrane-Bound Immunoglobulins,Receptors, Antigen, B Cell,Surface Immunoglobulins,Antigen Receptor, B-Cell,Antigen Receptors, B Cell,B Cell Antigen Receptor,B Cell Antigen Receptors,Bound Immunoglobulin, Membrane,Immunoglobulin, Membrane Bound,Immunoglobulin, Surface,Immunoglobulins, Membrane Bound,Membrane Bound Immunoglobulins,Receptor, B-Cell Antigen,Receptors, B-Cell Antigen
D001835 Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D002448 Cell Adhesion Adherence of cells to surfaces or to other cells. Adhesion, Cell,Adhesions, Cell,Cell Adhesions
D004406 Dysgammaglobulinemia An immunologic deficiency state characterized by selective deficiencies of one or more, but not all, classes of immunoglobulins. Dysgammaglobulinemias
