Isolated hapten-binding receptors of sensitized lymphocytes. II. Receptors from nylon wool-enriched rabbit T lymphocytes lack serological determinants of immunoglobulin constant domains but carry the A locus allotypic markers

PMCID: PMC2180802  PMID: 408458

Abstract

Hapten-binding receptor material was isolated from sensitized rabbit lymphocytes by a method described previously for murine receptor material. The material was separated into a fraction expressing immunoglobulin determinants (anti-Ig+ fraction) and a fraction lacking known class and type-specific determinants of Ig constant domains (anti- Ig- fraction). We present evidence in support of the notion that--in analogy to the mouse system--the anti-Ig+ fraction is B-cell-derived, whereas the anti-Ig- fraction originates from T lymphocytes. Receptors of the anti-Ig- phenotype are found to express a locus allotypic determinants and, thus, appear to carry variable portions of immunoglobulin heavy chains.
