Surface immunoglobulin of rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes: detection of allotypes by fluorescence and rosetting

European Journal of Immunology

Abstract

Specific anti-allotype reagents were prepared to detect heavy and light chain allotypes on surface immunoglobulin-positive (sIg+) cells from a3a3b4b4, a2a2b5b5 homozygous and a2a2b4b5 heterozygous rabbits. Total sIg+ peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were detected with fluorescein-labeled goat anti-light chain and sheep anti-rabbit Ig reagents. The total sIg+ cells detected with these reagents and the sum of a and b allotypes individually measured with specific fluorescent anti-allotype reagents (a2 + a3 or b4 + b5) were measured more or ess the same when measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) II flow microfluorometry. The data provided no evidence for single cells expressing both allelic allotypes (allelic inclusion). We found that FACS and resetting techniques were generally equally sensitive. However, we detected a greater proportion of total b4+ plus b5+ cells by rosetting than by fluorescence in some PBL preparations from heterozygous b4b5 rabbits. This was not seen with artificial mixtures of b4b4 and b5b5 cells. The nature of these cells is not yet known. Conceivably, they were not scored as lymphocytes by light-scatter analysis on the FACS and hence were not counted, but were indistinguishable from lymph...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
