CLASS, SUBCLASS, AND ALLELIC EXCLUSION OF MEMBRANE-BOUND Ig OF HUMAN B LYMPHOCYTES

S S Fröland 1, J B Natvig 1
PMCID: PMC2139201  PMID: 4557774

Abstract

Membrane-bound immunoglobulins of peripheral blood B lymphocytes and of lymphocytes from an IgG chronic lymphocytic leukemia showed restriction to one immunoglobulin class, one IgG subclass, and one Gm allotype. Certain antigens in the C-terminal part of IgG Fc were not exposed on the cell surface.
