Studies of the presence of membrane receptors for complement, IgG and the sheep erythrocyte rosetting capacity on the same human lymphocytes. 1976

J W Chiao, and R A Good

Normal peripheral blood lymphocytes were tested by a mixed rosette method, employing different sized erythrocytes as indicators to identify lymphocytes simultaneously possessing membrane markers found commonly on B and T cells. Only small populations of these lymphocytes were detected regularly in normal lymphocyte preparations. One type of lymphocyte (ranged from 0.5%-8%) was shown to possess the following markers: receptors for human and rabbit IgG, receptors for the third complement component C3b and C3b inactivator-cleaved C3b (C3d), and the capacity to rosette spontaneously with uncoated sheep erythrocytes (SRBC). Another lymphocyte cell type was shown to possess both SRBC and IgG receptors but lack membrane immunoglobulins and complement receptors. This population was detected in lymphocyte preparations depleted of complement receptor cells, and an increased number of these cells was found in rosette preparations incubated with human serum. The possible presence of some lymphocytes possessing both complement and SRBC receptors and lacking other markers was considered. The possibility that these small populations of human lymphocytes are sub-populations of T cells with certain cytotoxic function is postulated.

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

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D003165 Complement System Proteins Serum glycoproteins participating in the host defense mechanism of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION that creates the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Included are glycoproteins in the various pathways of complement activation (CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; ALTERNATIVE COMPLEMENT PATHWAY; and LECTIN COMPLEMENT PATHWAY). Complement Proteins,Complement,Complement Protein,Hemolytic Complement,Complement, Hemolytic,Protein, Complement,Proteins, Complement,Proteins, Complement System
D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
