Abstract
The present study was designed to search for the sites of the B-cell lineage in the different lymphoid organs of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) by immunoperoxidase staining with a rabbit polyclonal antiserum against deglycosylated turbot IgM (TUDG-6). A turbot immunoglobulin (Ig) fraction, isolated by protein A, was checked for purity by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. The turbot IgM was deglycosylated and used to raise an antiserum. The antiserum titre was evaluated in ELISA. It was then used to analyse turbot peripheral blood leucocytes for membrane and cytoplasmic Ig and for immunohistochemistry with turbot lymphoid tissues. Very low numbers of Ig+ cells were found in thymus sections. In sections of spleen, Ig+ cells were observed in white pulp, around ellipsoids but were mostly concentrated and associated with melanomacrophage centers (MMCs). The lymphoid Ig+ cells in the kidney tended to be dispersed among haematopoietic and granulopoietic cell populations and were in intimate association with the MMCs and blood vessels. This association between MMCs and Ig+ cells in the spleen and the kidney, is discussed with respect to the role played by these organs in the immune system of fish. Last, the lymphoid population in the gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of turbot was characterised with respect to staining for Ig. Immunoreactive cells were rarely detected in the epithelial layer although many lymphocytes were present, but they were frequently observed in the lamina propria, presumably as part of the GALT and involved in mucosal immune responses.

Abstract
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-inhibition test using a Clonorchis sinensis species-specific mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb), CsHyb 0605-23, showed increased specificity over the conventional ELISA used for serodiagnosis of clonorchiasis. To characterize the corresponding antigen further, the MAb was tested against polysaccharide, protein and glycolipid fractions obtained from a crude extract of C. sinensis adult worms, using chloroform, methanol and phenol extractions. Only the polysaccharide fraction was recognized by the MAb among those fractions. Mild oxidation of the antigen with sodium periodate showed decreased reactivity against the MAb. We concluded that the antigen and antigenic determinants recognized by the MAb are carbohydrates.

Abstract
White sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) immunoglobulin (Ig) was purified from serum by two methods, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration and precipitation of the euglobulin fraction. The purity of these immunoglobulin preparations was confirmed by gel electrophoresis. Sequence analysis of the N-terminal amino acids confirmed that the purified protein was immunoglobulin. The major portion of the immunoglobulin preparation consisted of two proteins with estimated molecular weights (m.w.) of 870 and 170 kDa. The m.w. of the H- and L-chains of the purified Ig were 73 and 27-30 kDa, respectively, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ion-exchange purified Ig was used to immunize mice for the production of monoclonal antibodies. This resulted in the production of six stable hybrids that recognized sturgeon Ig, two specific for heavy chain and four specific for light chain. The two anti-H-chain mabs were highly specific for white sturgeon Ig while all four anti-L-chain mabs cross reacted with Ig from green sturgeon (A. medirostris), Atlantic sturgeon (A. oxyrhynchus oxyrhynchus), shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus), and paddlefish (Polyodon spathula), (all Chondrosteans), but not with channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) or striped bass (Morone saxatilis). The mabs were used to enumerate the percentage of sIg+ lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of white sturgeon by flow cytometry. The percentage of cells positively stained with the mabs ranged from 12 to 28%. In a comparison of mabs with polyclonal rabbit anti-sturgeon Ig serum by ELISA the mabs produced a larger signal and less background than the polyclonal serum.

Abstract
Carbohydrates associated with the tegumental surface of Schistosoma mansoni primary sporocyst may serve as potential receptors for mediating recognition by the internal defence system of the molluscan host, Biomphalaria glabrata. Therefore, a combination of SDS-PAGE and lectin probe analyses were carried out on biotin-labelled tegumental glycopeptides as a first step to defining the carbohydrates expressed at the sporocyst surface. The majority of surface polypeptides, ranging in relative molecular masses from 27 to 113 kDa, reacted with horseradish peroxidase-labelled Canavalia ensiformis (Con A), Erythrina corallodendron (ECA), Glycine max (SBA) and Triticum vulgaris (WGA) lectins indicating that most, if not all, tegumental proteins are glycosylated. However, differences in the binding of some lectins to individual glycopeptides suggest a degree of heterogeneity in the structure/composition of sugar moieties comprising these surface glycoconjugates. This notion is supported by the finding that the fucose-specific Tetragonolobus purpureas (TPA) lectin only reacted with approximately 50% of glycopeptides identified at the tegumental surface. Experiments employing biotin-labelled plasma (cell-free haemolymph) from S. mansoni-susceptible and -resistant B. glabrata snails as probes, further demonstrated that many of the identified surface glycoproteins also serve as plasma-binding sites for both snail strains. Binding interactions between plasma and sporocyst surface glycoproteins appeared to be, at least in part, mediated by carbohydrates since periodate treatment of sporocyst proteins or pre-incubation of plasma with the glycoproteins, fetuin or mucin, resulted in a decrease in plasma reactivity to blotted larval proteins.

Abstract
The euglobulin fraction of sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) serum was analyzed using electrophoretic and immunoblotting techniques. The major protein of this fraction is an IgM-like molecule composed of equimolar 70-kDa glycosylated H chains and 26-30 kDa L chains. In the absence of a reducing agent, the L and H polypeptides may form (mu 2L2)n high molecular weight polymers, mu 2L2 170-kDa units or L2 dimers. These different bonding patterns suggest some structural heterogeneity in the distribution of cysteine residues along the sturgeon Ig chains. The H chain N-terminal sequence indicates significant homologies with the conserved VHIII subgroup. Heavy chains antigenically different from the 70-kDa H chain were not detected, suggesting that IgM is the only Ig class synthesized by this sturgeon species.

Abstract
A mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) raised against serum immunoglobulins (Ig) of the snake. Psammophis sibilans stained in indirect immunofluorescence a proportion of snake splenic and peripheral blood lymphocytes, whereas it did not react with thymocytes, erythrocytes, brain, heart, lung, liver or kidney cells. The mAb, designated SR-2, combined in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with serum proteins of each of 20 individual P. sibilans tested. On Western blots of P. sibilans reduced whole serum proteins, purified Ig, or anti-rat erythrocyte (RRBC) antibodies eluted from glutaraldehyde-fixed RRBC, mAb SR-2 identified two bands of apparent molecular weight (m.w.) of 60,000 and 51,000 daltons. These bands were due to distinct polypeptides and not resulting from heterogeneous glycosylation of a single polypeptide, as they both were readily detected after periodate oxidation or endoglycosidase-F treatment of serum proteins and isolated Ig. MAb SR-2 bound to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B precipitated from P. sibilans 125I-labeled serum proteins under non-reducing conditions a band that did not enter 7.5 or 9-16% gel and one of about 150,000 daltons. Under reducing conditions, two heavy bands of approximately 63,000 and 50,000 daltons and two light chains of apparent mass 23,000 and 20,000 bands were precipitated. The data presented provide, for the first time, substantial information on the molecular characteristics of snake Ig.

Abstract
Clonorchis sinensis is a common parasite of man in Korea. Researches on the specific antigens of C. sinensis would be valuable not only because those elucidate the molecular characteristics of this fluke but also because it is applicable to immunodiagnosis. Although many monoclonal antibodies have been used in the field of parasite immunology, few articles on monoclonal antibodies against C. sinensis have been published so far. The aim of this study was to analyze C. sinensis antigens recognized by monoclonal antibodies, and to set up ELISA-inhibition test using C. sinensis specific monoclonal antibodies for improved specificity of immunodiagnostic tests. By fusion between spleen cells of the mice immunized with C. sinensis water-soluble crude adult worm antigens and plasmacytoma cells of mouse origin, 29 hybridoma clones secreting anti-C. sinensis monoclonal antibodies were made, and 8 clones among those were found specific. After cell cloning, isotypes of 6 selected specific monoclonal antibodies were determined to be IgG1, IgG2b and IgA. Four exposed antigenic determinants of natural infection were recognized by different specific monoclonal antibodies. By enzyme-immunoelectrotransfer blot, 10 KD, 34 KD antigenic determinants were found to be reacted with CsHyb 0714-20, CsHyb 0605-10 monoclonal antibodies, respectively. The antigenic determinant recognized by CsHyb 0714-20 monoclonal antibody was revealed to be located at the surface and parenchyme of a parasite by indirect immunofluorescent antibody technique, and those reacted with CsHyb 0605-10, CsHyb 0714-25 monoclonal antibodies were found at the parenchyme and intestine. The antigenic determinant reacted with CsHyb 0605-23 monoclonal antibody was found mainly around the uterine eggs. Four antigenic determinants recognized by specific monoclonal antibodies were all found to be present in the early eluted fractions of C. sinensis antigens separated by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. By conventional ELISA, 75% of clonorchiasis cases were found positive, but 7.1% of normal controls and 37.5% of paragonimiasis cases showed false positives. However, by ELISA-inhibition test using C. sinensis specific monoclonal antibody (CsHyb 0605-23), 77.1% of clonorchiasis cases were found positive, and there were no false positives in normal controls or paragonimiasis cases, indicating 100% specificity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The general thinking about the phylogenic distribution of vertebrate Ig classes is that fish and urodele amphibians are only able to synthesize polymeric IgM-like molecules and that the emergence of a new class of LMW Ig occurs for the first time in anouran species. Following immunization of the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum, Amphibia, Urodela) with TNP-SRBC, HMW anti-TNP antibody molecules are only detected. We have previously shown that these polymeric Ig are constituted of 76 kDa H-chains associated to 27-30 kDa L-chains, respectively recognized by MAbs 33.45.1 and 33.101.2. However, the euglobulin fraction purified from normal axolotl serum contains, beside HMW Ig, abundant 172 kDa molecules which are recognized by MAb 33.101.2 in Western blotting in non-reducing conditions but are not labelled with MAb 33.45.1. In the present work, we characterize this 172 kDa molecule as a LMW Ig which differs from the HMW Ig both at the level of the physicochemical and antigenic properties of their H-chain components. This new 11.9 S axolotl Ig presents some similarities with anouran IgY. The detection of IgY-like molecules in urodele amphibian extends the occurrence of at least two antigenically different H-chain isotypes to all the representative modern classes of the Tetrapoda superclass.

Abstract
Present understanding of the evolution of immunoglobulins is derived almost entirely from studies of a few mammalian species. To obtain information about immunoglobulin genes in Xenopus laevis, a cDNA library was prepared in the expression vector lambda gt11 from mitogen-stimulated splenocytes of this species. Of approximately equal to 50,000 clones screened, 18 were found to express IgM epitopes. One of these, lambda XIg14, hybridized with RNA of RNA of approximately equal to 2 kilobases from splenocytes. The insert of this clone appears to encode a variable region and part of a mu constant region; that of another clone, lambda XIg8, appears to encode a variable region and a complete mu constant region. Both inserts contain sequence corresponding to the three gene segments (VH, DH, and JH) that encode heavy-chain variable regions. The heavy-chain constant region (CH) encoded by lambda XIg8 has the characteristic features of C mu, including a four-domain structure and a carboxyl-terminal tail. The amino acid sequences of two mu-chain peptides agree with the cDNA sequence. The identity in amino acid sequence between the corresponding Xenopus and mouse C mu domains ranges from 31 to 47%. The C mu domains vary in the extent to which their sequences resemble the sequences of other immunoglobulins, consistent with previous suggestions that the immunoglobulin domains have an independent evolutionary history.

Abstract
Radioimmunochemical studies on the comparison of the immunological cross-reactivity between the 7-S Igs of birds, reptiles and amphibians (IgY-like Igs) and the IgA of mammals (man and pig) using 125I-chicken IgY and anti-chicken IgY(Fc) or anti-chicken IgY(H) antibodies from rabbits and carp for the detection led to the conclusion that there are close antigenic relationships between them. Therefore, the IgY-like Igs seem to be the precursors for the IgA class of mammals. From that, we give a phylogenetic tree of Igs in accordance with the evolutionary development of vertebrates.

Abstract
Spleen and thymus suspensions from the turtle, Chelydra serpentina were examined by indirect immunofluorescence and found to contain both agranulocytes and granulocytes positive for surface Ig. Among the splenic agranulocytes , 50% of the lymphocyte and monocyte population was positive for surface Ig. In the thymus only 7% of the thymocytes were positive. Ninety-two percent of the granulocytes, composed primarily of basophils and eosinophils, were positive for surface Ig in both the thymus and spleen. The presence of surface immunoglobulins on turtle splenic leukocytes was confirmed by sheep red blood cell (SRBC) immunization studies. Basophils, lymphocytes and monocytes from immunized turtles formed SRBC rosettes, while eosinophils from immunized turtles were found to specifically phagocytose SRBC. Splenic leukocytes from control turtles did not phagocytose or rosette with SRBC. This study demonstrates that indirect immunofluorescent techniques can be used to identify surface immunoglobulin on turtle granulocytes as well as agranulocytes .

Abstract
Lymphocytes of thymus, spleen, peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) collected from adult lizards, Chalcides ocellatus were cultured for 24 hr in the presence of 10(-3)M hydrocortisone acetate (HC) in order to assess the effect of in vitro HC on lizard T and B cell viability. The results indicated that HC induced stepwise, time-dependent mortality of the majority of thymocytes carrying T cell specific antigen(s) (TSA), 30-50% of T cells of spleen, PB and BM, and of a proportion of splenic B lymphocytes. Administration of 1 mg/g body weight HC to adult Ch. ocellatus lead to depletion of all TSA+ thymocytes. In contrast, T lymphocytes in the peripheral lymphoid compartments revealed both sensitivity and resistance to HC; similarly, B lymphocytes constituted susceptible and resistant subpopulations.

Abstract
Serologic cross-reactions among allotypes of rabbit secretory IgA (sIgA) of the f-subclass were examined by quantitative radiobinding assays with various allo-anti-alpha chain reagents. Numerous cross-reactions were observed which demonstrated the complexity of the C alpha f allotypes. One of the reagents used in these studies reacted not only with all sIgA molecules of the immunogen C alpha f allotype but also with all sIgA molecules of the other C alpha f allotypes. Aliquots of the antiserum were each adsorbed with IgA molecules of these C alpha f allotypes and then used in radiobinding studies with sIgA-f molecules of the various C alpha f allotypes. The adsorbed reagents reacted with some but not all sIgA-f molecules, thus indicating that the C alpha f allotypes each comprise more than one serologically distinguishable subset. Results from these radiobinding experiments were used to develop a model in which each of the five IgA-f allotypes comprises at least two serologically distinguishable subsets. Each of these subsets expresses a unique pattern of C alpha determinants. These C alpha determinants appear to be protein in nature rather than carbohydrate as periodate oxidation of the sIgA-f glycoproteins does not affect the reactions of the molecules with the cross-reactive alloreagents. IgA molecules of the serologically distinguishable subsets presumably differ in amino acid sequence in the constant region and, thus, would be products of distinct C alpha genes. Therefore, it is probable that the cross-reactions of these molecules, which were previously thought to comprise a single subclass, sIgA-f, may reflect the presence of more than one subclass of sIgA-f molecules, i.e., a third subclass of rabbit sIgA.

Abstract
A mouse monoclonal antibody raised in response to quail immunoglobulin mu chain was found to exhibit a broad reactivity towards hemopoietic and endothelial cells in the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Indirect immunofluorescence assays were performed at several stages of embryonic development and until 3 weeks after hatching, on either isolated cells or tissue sections. They revealed that the defined surface marker, referred to as MB1, (i) is expressed early on both intra- and extraembryonic hemopoietic stem cells and is transmitted to the whole progeny of these precursors, with the exception of mature erythrocytes, and (ii) is a constant feature of the endothelial cell surface throughout ontogenesis and adult life. In addition, this epitope is included in several soluble plasma components. MB1 expression was not detected in chicken tissues, and this characteristic was used to confirm its lineage restriction in quail-chicken chimeras. We stress the value of this species- and lineage-specific marker in study of the development of the hemopoietic and endothelial cell families, with special reference to their possible early common embryonic origin.

Abstract
Four mouse monoclonal antibodies to widely distributed human cell surface antigens are described. The AJ2 antigen is one of the immunodominant antigens in mice immunized with human cells, as demonstrated by testing conventional mouse antisera. This antigen has four subunits having molecular weights (MW) of 170 kD, 140 kD, 140 kD, and 28 kD when immunoprecipitated from the immunizing cell line, an astrocytoma. With other cell lines the molecular weights and subunit composition varies, but the major component is always of MW 125-140 kD. The antigen was detected on all human tissue culture cells and on sections of all normal human tissues tested. Antibody MA99 detects the same antigenic complex but shows a slightly different pattern of reactivity with cell lines and tissues. The MA103 antigen has a similar ubiquitous distribution. It is a glycoprotein of MW 50-55 kD and the determinant detected is not denatured by treatment at 100 degrees C. MH99, the third common antigen detected, has two glycosylated subunits with MW of 29 kD and 38 kD. It is present on a subpopulation of tumor cell lines of most histologic types except that it is absent or weakly expressed on melanomas and astrocytomas. MH99 is present on some T lymphomas and leukemias and myeloid leukemias but was not detected on B lymphomas, null cell lymphomas and myelomas. It was detected preferentially on epithelial cells in tissue sections.

Abstract
Two-color immunofluorescence techniques were used in order to trace the development and distribution of cells expressing immunoglobulin in Rana pipiens. Evidence is provided which suggests that (i) embryo-larval urogenital tissues are sites of generation of cells in B lineage, (ii) during ontogeny, there is a sequential expression of immunoglobulin isotypes on B cell surfaces, (iii) larvae are able to produce the full range of immunoglobulin clases found in adults, and (iv) at least two subpopulations of lymphocytes exist in Rana pipiens, sIg+ and sIg-; thymocytes and presumably peripheral T cells lack conventional surface immunoglobulin. Some ontogenetic and phylogenetic implications are discussed.

Abstract
It is widely believed that immunoglobulin genes might encode at least part of the receptor for antigen on the T lymphocyte. Evidence supporting this comes from the effects of anti-immunoglobulin idiotype antibodies on cellular immune networks and from the presence of idiotypes on immunologically active factors from T cells. Detailed molecular characterization of the receptors, however, has been seriously hampered by the lack of a suitable cellular source from which it might be isolated. The recent demonstration of Kemp et al. that thymocytes and certain cultured lines of mouse T lymphoma cells contain polyadenylated RNA molecules encoded by the immunoglobulin Cmu gene (Cmu RNA) prompted us to identify the corresponding protein molecules in those cells. As the haploid mouse genome contains a single Cmu gene, any polypeptide encoded by this gene should react with at least some of the antibodies present in rabbit anti-mouse IgM antiserum. In this letter we report that a number of T lymphoma lines, regardless of whether they contain Cmu RNA, synthesize no detectable mu polypeptides.
