Abstract
This study showed that under well-defined conditions all immunoglobulins could be removed from the rat mast cell surface. Surface immunoglobulins were examined by immunofluorescence technique, and cell function by the allergic reaction to antigen as judged by histamine release. Refixation of eluted surface Ig to the mast cell was easily accomplished. Furthermore, fixation of specific surface Ig to already sensitized cells resulted in increased cell sensitivity to antigen, whereas fixation of nonspecific surface Ig resulted in decreased sensitivity. The results indicate that removed immunoglobulins are intact, have affinity for mast cells, and are able to compete with cell-bound Ig.

Abstract
IgE was removed from human basophils of 4 nonatopic persons and 10 hay fever patients allergic to timothy grass pollen by treating the cells with buffer adjusted to pH 4. IgE could be removed and refixed to the same cells. Refixation was demonstrated by immunofluorescence and by the ability of basophils to release histamine on exposure to timothy pollen. Removed total IgE and specific IgE directed against timothy pollen were estimated, and a linear correlation to the level of total IgE and specific IgE in serum was found. The total number of IgE molecules per basophil was calculated to be in the range of 30,000 to 300,000, and timothy-specific IgE constituted 4%-15% of the total IgE molecules on the cells. It was furthermore established that specific cell-bound IgE was linearly correlated to the pollen concentration releasing 20% of the histamine contents of the basophils. Separated 2gE from sensitized and nonsensitized basophils could be bound to basophils from other patients, resulting in a change in cell sensitivity. This could be ascribed to additional binding to free cell receptors as well as to a partial replacement of bound IgE. Basophils from non-atopic persons could not be sensitized by incubation with surface IgE from atopic persons. The results indicate that acid treatment is a simple method suitable for removing IgE from basophils. This IgE is intact and can be quantitated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is characterized by granulomatous inflammation of the respiratory tract and Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis. The pathognomonic ANCA in WG is typically directed against proteinase 3 (PR3). Germinal centre-like clusters of lymphocytes were seen in granulomata of WG patients suggesting an antigen-driven maturation of B lymphocytes potentially leading to ANCA formation. The goal of this study was to develop a system to determine the specificity of B cells found in WG granulomata via the generation of fab fragments as antibody analogues. These fab fragments have the identical antigen binding site like the B-cell receptor from which the DNA was derived. METHODS Single B cells were isolated from B cell clusters within the granuloma of a WG patient by laser-assisted microdissection. Their immunoglobulin genes (VH/Vkappa, VH/Vlambda) were characterized by seminested single cell PCR and cloned into a phagemid vector in order to produce fab fragments. The fabs were characterized by protein gel electrophoresis and western blot. RESULTS The immunoglobulin genes from lymphocyte infiltrates of WG granulomata reveal antigen-driven selection. On the basis of two individual couples of mutated VH/Vlambda PCR products functional fabs were generated that represent the B cell receptors of WG tissue-derived single B cells. CONCLUSION This is the first in vitro model to test for specificity of B cell receptors from WG granulomata. With respect to ANCA origin in WG this system provides a tool to elucidate the structure-function relationship of apparently antigen-driven maturation of B cells within Wegener's granuloma.

Abstract
The variable fragment (Fv) of the monoclonal B1-8 antibody recognizes 3-nitro-4-hydroxy-phenylacetate (NP) and 5-iodo-NP (NIP) allowing for the affinity purification of the respective B cell antigen receptor with NP-sepharose and its specific elution with NIP-capronic acid (NIPcap). We generated an intracellular single-chain B1-8 Fv (iscFv), fused it to the N-terminus of the regulatory subunit (p85alpha) of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) (isc-p85alpha), and examined the potential of this iscFv to serve as an intracellular elutable protein purification tag. The isc-p85alpha fusion protein could be specifically affinity-purified from the lysates of transfected Drosophila S2 cells with NP-sepharose and eluted with NIPcap, indicating the functional folding of the iscFv in the reducing environment of the cytosol. Furthermore, co-purification of the catalytic subunit of PI3K (p110) was achieved from lysates of co-transfected S2 cells as well as RBL-2H3 mast cells stably expressing isc-p85alpha. This indicates that the iscFv part of isc-p85alpha does not negatively influence p85alpha folding and interaction with p110. Moreover, successful incorporation of the p85alpha-moiety of isc-p85alpha into endogenous protein complexes in mast cells suggests the use of isc-containing fusion proteins for the native purification, elution, and analysis of intracellular signaling complexes.

Abstract
The involvement of mucosal mast cells (MMC) in protection against infection with the murine nematode parasite Trichuris muris was studied in genetically mast cell-deficient WBB6F1-W/Wv mice and their normal littermates WBB6F1-+/+ mice. Expulsion of T. muris worms occurred in infected +/+ mice, whereas no worm expulsion was observed in infected W/Wv mice where the infection persisted until at least day 46 postinfection. No MMC responses were induced in either infected W/Wv or +/+ mice. Specific IgG1and IgG2a antibodies to T. muris excretory/secretory antigens were observed in infected W/Wv and +/+ mice, and antibody production showed similar kinetics. Interleukin 4 production by concanavalin A (Con A)-stimulated mesenteric lymph node cells (MLNC) was induced preferentially in infected +/+ mice. T. muris infection increased the levels of IFN-gamma produced by Con A-stimulated MLNC of infected W/Wv and +/+ mice, with the levels of IFN-gamma in infected W/Wv mice being higher than those in infected +/+ mice. Taken together, these results indicate that W/Wv and +/+ mice are susceptible and resistant to T. muris infection, respectively, and that MMC responses are not required for protective immunity.

Abstract
The frequency and absolute number of pro-B, pre-B, and B cells in the bone marrow of the hypothyroid strain of mice are significantly reduced compared with those of their normal littermates. To investigate why this is the case, various B cell developmental processes were examined in the thyroid hormone-deficient mice. These studies revealed that the frequency of pro-B cells in the S-G2/M phase of the cell cycle was significantly reduced in hypothyroid mice. That thyroid hormone deficiency was responsible for this proliferation defect was established by demonstrating that treatment of hypothyroid mice with thyroxine resulted in a specific increase in the frequency and total number of cycling pro-B cells. The latter effect was paralleled by increases in the frequency and number of bone marrow B lineage cells. Additional in vitro experiments revealed that at least some thyroid hormone effects were directly mediated on the bone marrow. Taken together, these data demonstrate that thyroid hormones are required for normal B cell production in the bone marrow through regulation of pro-B cell proliferation and establish a role for the pituitary/thyroid axis in B cell development.

Abstract
Activation of resting B cells requires an initial triggering of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) and secondary stimuli through various cytokine receptors and B cell activation molecules including CD40. We found that activation of B cells through CD40 is selectively inhibited by an immunosuppressant drug, rapamycin. This effect of rapamycin on anti-CD40-mediated activation of B cells was observed using three different in vitro assays. Rapamycin suppressed the anti-CD40-induced proliferation of splenic B cells, suppressed differentiation to surface IgMhigh/IgDlow B cells, and inhibited an anti-CD40-mediated prevention of apoptosis induced by BCR cross-linkage of WEHI-231 cells. We next examined several known CD40 signal transduction pathways to identify the target of rapamycin in stimulated B cells. Rapamycin did not inhibit the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) induced by anti-CD40 stimulation nor the activation of immediate nuclear transcription factors of NF-kappaB. Therefore, rapamycin affects a novel element of the CD40 signal transduction pathway which influences the proliferation, differentiation, and prevention of apoptosis of B cells.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the subpopulations of lymphocytes in the colonic mucosa of healthy dogs and dogs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Fourteen normal dogs and 13 dogs with IBD were examined. Endoscopic biopsy specimens of colonic mucosa from each dog were stained specifically for pan T lymphocytes (CD3) and pan B lymphocytes (CD79a), and for plasma cells with methyl green pyronin (MGP) stain. Cells were counted by means of a grid and statistical analysis was performed on the data collected. B and T lymphocytes were also counted in the glandular epithelium of normal dogs and dogs with IBD and the normal and abnormal groups compared statistically. Healthy dogs had significantly lower numbers of T cells in the lamina propria and glandular epithelium and significantly lower numbers of B cells in the lamina propria. Significant group differences for plasma cells were not evident. Our results indicate that in IBD a chronic cellular immune reaction is present in the diseased gut involving increased numbers of B and T lymphocytes.

Abstract
Syk (p72(syk)) is a 72-kDa cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine kinase that serves as an essential component of the signal transduction machinery coupled to the B-cell antigen receptor. Syk is recruited to the receptor when it is cross-linked and, in response, becomes tyrosine-phosphorylated and activated before it dissociates from the receptor and appears in the cytoplasm. To begin to explore how tyrosine phosphorylation affects Syk activation and receptor binding, Tyr-130, which is localized within the Syk inter-Src homology 2 domain region, was substituted with Phe or Glu. Substitution of Tyr-130 with Phe enhanced the binding of Syk to the receptor and increased receptor-mediated protein tyrosine phosphorylation, while substitution with Glu greatly reduced this interaction. Replacement of Tyr-130 with Glu also increased the basal activity of the kinase, while replacement with Phe decreased its activity and uncoupled kinase activation from receptor engagement. These data suggest that the phosphorylation of Tyr-130 normally plays an important role in mediating both the activation of Syk and its release from the antigen receptor.

Abstract
A novel immunoglobulin-type protein expressed in blood vessels has been identified. The cDNA for AAMP (angio-associated, migratory cell protein) was first isolated from a human melanoma cell line during a search for motility-associated cell surface proteins. Upon analysis of the tissue distribution of AAMP, it was found to be expressed strongly in endothelial cells, cytotrophoblasts, and poorly differentiated colon adenocarcinoma cells found in lymphatics. The sequence of AAMP predicts a protein (M(r) 49,000) with distant identity (25%) to known proteins. It contains immunoglobulin-like domains [one with multiple homologies to deleted in colon carcinoma (DCC) protein], the WD40 repeat motif, and a heparin-binding consensus sequence. A 1.6-kilobase mRNA transcript of AAMP is detected in tissue culture cell lines and tissues. Affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies, anti-recombinant AAMP, and anti-peptide 189 (AAMP derived) recognize a M(r) 52,000 protein in human tissue and cellular extracts. The protein size is in keeping with the mRNA and predicted sequence. The AAMP-derived peptide, P189, contains a heparin-binding domain (dissociation constant, 14 pmol) and mediates heparin-sensitive cell adhesion. The shared expression of AAMP in endothelial cells, trophoblasts, and tumor cells implies a common function in migrating cells.

Abstract
Signaling through the B cell antigen receptor requires a complex set of interactions involving transmembrane components of the IgM receptor complex and cytosolic protein-tyrosine kinases. We have focused on the nature of these protein-protein interactions, the requirements for their occurrence, as well as the temporal sequence of events during the activation process. We found that cross-linking B cell antigen receptors at 0 degree C resulted in the rapid association of the Src-family protein-tyrosine kinase, Lyn, with the antigen receptor complex as judged by the presence of Lyn in anti-IgM and anti-phosphotyrosine immune complexes and the presence of MB-1 in anti-Lyn immune complexes. Receptor engagement also resulted in the rapid association of Lyn with the phosphotyrosine phosphatase, CD45. This association of Lyn with receptor components was stable in the detergent Brij 96, but was readily disrupted by Nonidet P-40, suggesting the involvement of hydrophobic interactions in stabilizing formation of the Lyn-receptor complex. The protein-tyrosine kinase, Syk, was also found associated with activated receptor complexes. This association of Syk with components of the antigen receptor complex was stable to Nonidet P-40. Antibodies directed against the carboxyl teminus of Syk, but not against the amino-terminal SH2 domain, co-immunoprecipitated MB-1 from activated cells, consistent with the binding of Syk through an SH2 domain-phosphotyrosine interaction.

Abstract
B cell antigen receptors are multicomponent complexes consisting of the surface immunoglobulin and accessory molecules with associating protein-tyrosine kinases. A spleen tyrosine kinase, Syk, in porcine B cells and a 72-kDa protein-tyrosine kinase, PTK72, in murine B cells associate with the B cell antigen receptor. Herein, we report the isolation of a full-length cDNA encoding the human homologue of Syk. This cDNA predicted a polypeptide consisting of two NH2-terminal SH2 domains and a COOH-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. Syk is highly conserved between human and swine and is homologous to the T cell-associated protein-tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. Both Syk mRNA and protein were detected in cells derived from multiple hematopoietic lineages. Within the B cell compartment, Syk was expressed from pro-B cells to plasma cells. In vitro kinase assays conducted on the human Syk protein isolated from B cells revealed the presence of autophosphorylation activity on Syk tyrosine residues. Tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk associating with the B cell receptor complex in human was augmented rapidly after surface immunoglobulin cross-linking. The human SYK locus was mapped to chromosome 9 at band q22.

Abstract
The B cell receptor for antigen, the membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) molecule, is normally expressed in association with at least two other proteins, mb-1 (Ig-alpha) and B29 (Ig-beta/gamma). We have previously described a set of murine B cell clones transfected with wild-type and mutated forms of membrane-bound IgM (mIgM) that vary in their ability to transduce signals to the cell interior. Analysis of the B cell receptor complex in signaling and nonsignaling mutants of mIgM reveals complete concordance between intact signaling ability and ability of the mIgM to associate with Ig-alpha and Ig-beta/gamma. These results point to the importance of the mIgM transmembrane region in mediating binding to accessory molecules, and provide support for a role of Ig-alpha and Ig-beta/gamma that extends beyond surface expression to signal transduction in B lymphocytes.

Abstract
Membrane immunoglobulins are integral proteins on B cell surfaces that bind foreign antigens and are critically involved in the regulation of the immune response. Based upon the model of serum IgG, it has been assumed that membrane immunoglobulins are essentially four chain disulfide-linked structures of the form H2L2, where H represents an immunoglobulin heavy chain, and L a light chain. We show here that membrane immunoglobulins of the mu and delta isotypes are present on spleen cell surfaces in a much more diverse group of disulfide linked structures. In some cases mIg is linked into structures as large as H5L5, while in other instances mu or delta chains appear to be linked by disulfide interactions to non-immunoglobulin molecules. These various structural complexes may represent distinct functional entities, as the association of mIg with the cytoskeleton after mIg cross-linking appears to depend upon its structural subgroup.

Abstract
The B cell antigen receptor, mIg, is part of a multimolecular complex including Ig alpha, Ig beta, and CD19. We provide evidence here that upon ligation of mIg CD19 becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Further, protein tyrosine kinase lyn, which is activated by the antigen receptor, can be readily co-immunoprecipitated with CD19 suggesting this is the enzyme responsible for the antigen receptor mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of CD19.

Abstract
The B-cell surface molecule CD22, when cross-linked, modulates signaling through the surface IgM (sIgM)-B-cell receptor (BCR) complex. Here we analyzed the basis of this interaction between CD22 and the human sIgM complex. After lysis of B cells or B-cell lines in digitonin, CD22 coimmunoprecipitated a kinase activity that in vitro-phosphorylated two polypeptides of 150 and 130 kDa on tyrosine residues. By immunoblot analysis with a rabbit anti-serum specific for a synthetic peptide of CD22, we found these proteins to be CD22 itself. Furthermore, the phosphorylated 150-kDa CD22 was found in the sIgM-BCR complex maintained by digitonin, along with Ig alpha/mb-1, Ig beta/B29, and a 75-kDa polypeptide precipitated by an antiserum specific to protein-tyrosine kinase PTK72. CD22 is likely to be an important signaling partner in the sIgM-BCR complex since it is very rapidly and strikingly phosphorylated after sIgM is cross-linked and since it contains the antigen recognition homology I (ARHI) motif, present in other antigen receptor molecules.

Abstract
In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), newly synthesized subunits of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR), membrane-bound immunoglobulin (mIg), and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens must fold correctly and assemble completely into multimeric protein complexes prior to transport to the cell surface. Although folding and assembly may occur spontaneously, the concept that molecular chaperones facilitate these events is emerging. Here, an intracellular protein of 90-kDa apparent molecular mass, denoted IP90, was shown to be an ER resident protein that associated with partial complexes of the TCR, mIg, and MHC class I proteins but was absent from fully assembled complexes. We speculate that IP90 might participate in folding and assembly processes of these and other multisubunit protein complexes during their transit through the ER.

Abstract
Treatment of B lymphocytes with antibodies to membrane immunoglobulin (Ig) stimulates protein tyrosine phosphorylation. We have examined the phosphorylation in vitro of proteins associated with membrane Ig. The Src family protein tyrosine kinases p53/56lyn, p59fyn, and p56lck are associated with membrane Ig in spleen B cells and B-cell lines and undergo phosphorylation in vitro. The pattern of expression of Src family protein tyrosine kinases in B cells varied. Our studies suggest that multiple kinases can potentially interact with membrane Ig and that within any one B-cell type, all of the Src family kinases expressed can be found in association with membrane Ig. We also observed that the Ig-associated Ig alpha protein, multiple forms of Ig beta, and proteins of 100 and 25 kDa were tyrosine phosphorylated in vitro. The 100- and 25-kDa proteins remain unidentified.

Abstract
Studies presented here demonstrate that IgM and IgD molecules on normal murine B lymphocytes exist in different, noncovalently associated molecular complexes containing distinct but potentially related glycoproteins. The glycoproteins in these complexes, particularly those associated with IgD, show striking differences in various lymphoid organs and in X-linked immunodeficient (Xid) mice. These differences are due in part to post-translational processing. They apparently reflect the differential expression of the Ig-associated glycoproteins in the various B cell subpopulations and lineages and the differential distribution of the subpopulations and lineages in the various lymphoid organs. In addition, they reflect structural differences in the IgM and IgD complexes which, we suggest, permit differential signal transduction by IgM and IgD on the same B cell.

Abstract
T and B lymphocyte antigen receptors exhibit single transmembrane spanning regions and very short, three to five amino acid, C-terminal cytoplasmic tails. Ligation of these receptors leads, apparently through GTP binding protein activation, to rapid stimulation of a polyphosphoinositide specific phosphodiesterase (PPI-PDE). T lymphocyte antigen receptors (alpha beta) are coupled to PPI-PDE via a receptor associated complex of membrane proteins, designated CD3. Although an analogous transducer complex is presumed to exist in B cells, no such structure has been defined. We utilized in vitro [32P]phosphorylation to identify and characterize a membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) associated phosphoprotein complex which appears to represent a B cell analog of CD3. The phosphoprotein complex consists of three N-glycosylated polypeptides which occur as disulfide linked dimers, non-covalently associated with mIg. The complex associated with mIgM (pp32, pp34 and pp37 subunits) differs from that associated with mIgD (pp33, pp34 and pp37 subunits), and the isotype specific phosphoprotein (pp32 or pp33) appears to exist as a disulfide linked heterodimer with either pp34 or pp37. Aluminum fluoride stimulates phosphorylation of all of the subunits, and at least one of the proteins is phosphorylated on a tyrosine residue(s).

Abstract
Two classes of immunoglobulin, IgM and IgD, are present as antigen receptors on the surface of mature B lymphocytes. We show here that IgD molecules are noncovalently associated in the B cell membrane with a heterodimer consisting of two proteins of 35 kd (IgD-alpha) and 39 kd (Ig-beta), respectively. The two novel proteins are not found in the IgD-expressing myeloma J558L delta m, which fails to bring IgD antigen receptor onto the cell surface. In a surface IgD positive variant line of this myeloma, however, membrane-bound IgD molecules are associated with the heterodimer, suggesting that the formation of an antigen receptor complex is required for surface IgD expression. We further demonstrate that the IgD-associated heterodimer differs partly from that of the IgM antigen receptor and that its binding to the heavy chain only requires the presence of the last constant domain and the transmembrane part of the delta m chain.

Abstract
Several members of the Ig superfamily are expressed on neural cells where they participate in surface interactions between cell bodies and processes. Their Ig domains are more closely related to each other than to Ig variable and constant domains and have been grouped into the C2 set. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of another member of this group, the mouse neuronal cell surface antigen F3. The F3 cDNA sequence contains an open reading frame that could encode a 1,020-amino acid protein consisting of a signal sequence, six Ig-like domains of the C2 type, a long premembrane region containing two segments that exhibit sequence similarity to fibronectin type III repeats and a moderately hydrophobic COOH-terminal sequence. The protein does not contain a typical transmembrane segment but appears to be attached to the membrane by a phosphatidylinositol anchor. Antibodies against the F3 protein recognize a prominent 135-kD protein in mouse brain. In fetal brain cultures, they stain the neuronal cell surface and, in cultures maintained in chemically defined medium, most prominently neurites and neurite bundles. The mouse f3 gene maps to band F of chromosome 15. The gene transcripts detected in the brain by F3 cDNA probes are developmentally regulated, the highest amounts being expressed between 1 and 2 wk after birth. The F3 nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence show striking similarity to the recently published sequence of the chicken neuronal cell surface protein contactin. However, there are important differences between the two molecules. In contrast to F3, contactin has a transmembrane and a cytoplasmic domain. Whereas contactin is insoluble in nonionic detergent and is tightly associated with the cytoskeleton, about equal amounts of F3 distribute between buffer-soluble, nonionic detergent-soluble, and detergent-insoluble fractions. Among other neural cell surface proteins, F3 most resembles the neuronal cell adhesion protein L1, with 25% amino acid identity between their extracellular domains. Based on its structural similarity with known cell adhesion proteins of nervous tissue and with L1 in particular, we propose that F3 mediates cell surface interactions during nervous system development.

Abstract
The Ig subunit structure of murine B lymphocytes was studied by employing different radiolabelling techniques in combination with chemical cross-linking. The main membrane structure of IgM was a half molecule that was disulphide-linked to proteins with MW 30,000, 45,000 and 55,000, respectively. Small amounts of mu 2L2, microL disulphide-linked to a protein with MW 50,000, and free microL were also detected. The main IgD structures were half molecules disulphide-linked to two proteins with MW 14,000 and two proteins with MW 16,000. Furthermore, IgD half molecules disulphide-linked to a protein with MW 16,000 and free half molecules could be demonstrated. Labelling with hydrophobic reagents showed that all Ig molecules and the protein with MW 50,000, linked to microL, penetrated the lipid bilayer, whereas the other IgM- and IgD-linked proteins probably did not. Additional proteins which were associated exclusively with IgM were detected by chemical cross-linking. These findings offer new possibilities for the investigation of the function(s) of antigen receptors on B cells.

Abstract
Myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cell lines and clones have been established from rats of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-compatible Lewis and BS strains. All lines and clones are MHC class II restricted and share the CD4+ phenotype. The cells proliferate specifically in response to either a peptide representing amino acids #68-88 of guinea pig MBP, to residues #47-67 or to an unidentified myelin antigen which is distinct from MBP. All lines and clones specific for MBP express the same T cell receptor (TcR) variable (V) beta chain element, which is homologous to the mouse V beta 8.2 gene segment. Three lines/clones with the same antigen fine specificity have identical V beta D beta J beta junctions on the protein level, a region which represents part of the potential antigen-binding portion of the TcR; two of the lines express members of the V alpha 2 family. These results suggest biased usage of TcR V beta elements in rat T cells specific for MBP. Our findings broaden the basis for a rational therapeutic strategy to specifically intervene in the rodent model system of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

Abstract
The Ag CDw40 (p50, Bp50) is a phosphoprotein expressed on the surface of both B lymphocytes and on certain malignant cell types of nonhemopoietic origin. Antibodies to this Ag have been shown to act as a potent co-mitogen for B cells. In order to elucidate the function of this Ag, we have now investigated some of its biochemical characteristics as well as the relationship of B cell derived CDw40 to that derived from urinary bladder carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma, TCC) cells. CDw40 from normal B cells or from the Burkitt lymphoma line Raji showed a characteristic pattern of three bands when analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting: a main band of 47 kDa, a degradation product of 43 kDa, and a dimer of 85 kDa. The dimer was disrupted by reduction with 2-ME but was reformed spontaneously from the purified monomers under nonreducing conditions. CDw40 from two bladder cancer cell lines gave a similar pattern but formed little or no dimer. Thirty amino acids of the amino terminal end of CDw40 from Raji and 22 amino acids of that from TCC cells (HU549) were sequenced. The sequences were unusually rich in cysteines and differed only in that the cysteine in position 6 in Raji CDw40 had been replaced by glutamine in HU549. In addition there were two conservative changes in positions 15 and 19. Taken together these results show that CDw40 derived from B cells or from TCC cells are the same or closely related molecules. Comparisons of the amino acid sequence and biochemical characteristics of CDw40 with proteins having receptor functions indicated a close structural resemblance of CDw40 to the nerve growth factor-receptor.

Abstract
Membrane IgM (mIgM) and mIgD are the receptors for Ag on the surface of B lymphocytes, mIg is soluble in detergent; however, when mIg is cross-linked with anti-Ig, the mIg becomes associated with the cytoskeletal matrix and is rendered detergent-insoluble. By a novel flow cytofluorometric assay and by biochemical analysis, it has been shown that anti-isotype-specific antibodies induce mIgM and mIgD to associate with the cytoskeleton of B lymphocytes in an isotype-specific fashion. The detergent solubility of other prominent B lymphocyte surface proteins, such as class I and class II MHC proteins were unaffected by cross-linking of mIg. A panel of mu-specific mAb was analyzed for their ability to induce mIgM-cytoskeletal association. Although all mAb bound mIgM, only three out of seven rendered mIgM cytoskeletally associated. Further analysis revealed a strict correlation in the capacity of mu-specific mAb to induce capping and to induce the association of mIgM with the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
mAb directed toward the idiotype of the 38C13 murine B cell lymphoma can be used to treat and cure a high percentage of mice challenged previously with an otherwise lethal dose of tumor cells. Tumors developing in animals despite antibody therapy were examined by immunofluorescence and found to demonstrate either loss of surface Ig, or expression of an altered idiotype that no longer bound the antibody used for treatment. Further immunofluorescence analysis of the variant tumors revealed individual patterns of cross-reactivity with anti-38C13 idiotype mAb other than that used for therapy. The variant tumor cells were fused to myeloma cells and hybrids were isolated which secreted large quantities of the altered idiotype proteins. Polyclonal antibodies and mAb prepared against the mutant proteins demonstrated cross-reactivity with the original 38C13 protein and its other variants. But the variants and wild type cells could be distinguished from each other by their patterns of reactivity with the panels of anti-idiotype antibodies. Differences in apparent m.w. were demonstrated in the L chains of each of the mutant proteins. Southern blot analysis of the H chain locus of these mutants established that they were all clonally related; however, the L chain loci were grossly different. Thus, rare cells with alteration in their Ig L chain genes and expressed proteins can give rise to idiotype variants in this B cell tumor.

Abstract
Cell-surface IgM (antigen receptor) sediments with the membrane fraction following osmotic lysis and homogenization of cells of the human lymphoblastoid cell line WiL2. In nonreducing buffers, SDS PAGE analysis of membrane pellets demonstrates that "native" membrane IgM exists as a dimer. In contrast to osmotic lysis, lysis of cells with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100 releases approximately 90% of the membrane-bound IgM into the supernatant; approximately 10% of the IgM pellets with the cytoskeletal fraction on centrifugation. Ligand challenge with either mu-chain-specific antibodies or concanavalin A induces a change in the state of membrane IgM making it refractory to detergent extraction, such that 43% of the IgM pellets during centrifugation. This ligand-induced retention of IgM is significantly diminished by the microfilament-disrupting agent cytochalasin D, whereas pretreatment of cells with sodium azide or colchicine results in no significant change in the percentage of membrane IgM retained by Triton X-100 residues. These results indicate that retention of IgM involves an association with the cortical actin-based cytoskeleton. Investigation of the structural basis for ligand-induced Triton X-100 retention of membrane IgM by using ferritin-conjugated antibodies, myosin subfragment S1, and stereo-imaging electron microscopy has revealed linkages between ligand-receptor (antigen-IgM) complexes and elements of the cortical actin-based cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The properties of specific human interleukin 1 (IL 1) receptors on human Epstein Barr virus-transformed B lymphocytes (EBV-B) were studied. Purified human IL 1-beta from a myelomonocytic cell line (THP-1) was labeled with 125I by the Bolton-Hunter method without detectable loss of biological activity. Among four EBV-B cell lines tested, a pre-B cell type (VDS-O) specifically bound the highest amount of 125I-IL 1-beta. Maximal binding was reached within 20 min at 4 degrees C. Scatchard plot analysis of the binding of 125I-IL 1-beta to VDS-O cells yielded a Kd (dissociation constant) of 2.4 to 5.9 X 10(-10) M with 110 to 220 binding (receptor) sites/cell. The binding of 125I-IL 1-beta to VDS-O cells was also inhibited by F(ab)'2 fragments of anti-human IL 1 and recombinant human IL 1-alpha, as well as by unlabeled human IL 1-beta but not by recombinant lymphotoxin, recombinant tumor necrosis factor, or phorbol myristic acid, suggesting that IL 1-alpha and IL 1-beta bind specifically to the same receptor. The m.w. of IL 1 receptor on human EBV-B cells was estimated to be 60,000 by both the chemical cross-linking method and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) gel filtration analysis of receptor extracted from membrane enriched fraction by a non-ionic detergent (CHAPS). The isoelectric point of solubilized human IL 1 receptor was 7.3 on HPLC chromatofocusing. The evidence of existence of IL 1 receptor on human EBV-B cells additionally supports the hypothesis that IL 1 may be an autocrine signal for these cells.

Abstract
The distribution and morphology of cells with surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulins were investigated in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) from rats, using both frozen and (fixed) paraffin sections, with a two-step immunoperoxidase technique. Anti-IgA, -IgE, -IgG and -IgM sera were used. Surface Ig-cells (sIg) of all four isotypes studied were found in MLN, mainly localized in the interfollicular area and within the follicle corona. The percentages of sIgA, IgE, IgG and IgM were about 15, 5, 45 and 35%, respectively. In addition, sIgM- and sIgG-cells were found around high endothelial venules. The percentages of cells containing IgA, IgG or IgM (cIg-cells) were about 60, 25 and 15%, respectively; only a few cIgE-cells were found. cIg-cells were not only present in the interfollicular areas and the medulla but also within the germinal centers of the follicles. These results are discussed with regard to the interaction between Peyer's patches (PP) and MLN.

Abstract
Neoplastic cells from 13 cases of hairy cell leukemia were investigated for immunoglobulin production and lysozyme activity by an electron-immunoperoxidase technique. In 10 cases cytoplasmic immunoglobulins were found, but lysozyme activity was absent in all cases. Immunoglobulins were detected in the perinuclear space and endoplasmic reticulum and at the surface of hairy cells. Of the cases in which immunoglobulins were detected in hairy cells, nine were positive with IgM antiserum and one with IgG antiserum. The immunoglobulins were monoclonal in all cases; six were positive with lambda antiserum and three with kappa antiserum. The class and type of surface immunoglobulins were identical to those of cytoplasmic immunoglobulins in the hairy cells. These results support the conclusion that hairy cells are commonly derived from immunoglobulin-producing B cells at an earlier stage of differentiation than plasma cells.

Abstract
We have examined human B lymphocytes at different stages of differentiation for the expression of surface receptors for the C3d fragment of complement. C3d receptors (C3dR) were identified by indirect immunofluorescence using the HB-5 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes a 145,000 m.w. C3dR molecule on B lymphocytes. Pre-B and immature B cells from fetal bone marrow and liver did not express C3dR, whereas a small subpopulation (25%) of B cells in fetal spleen were C3dR+. Approximately 50% of the B cells in adult bone marrow were C3dR+, whereas the more mature B cells in the blood of newborns and adults and in peripheral lymphoid tissue of adults uniformly expressed the C3dR. Activated B cells responsive to T cell-derived differentiation factors were C3dR+, whereas plasma cells rarely expressed C3dR. T cells, NK cells, erythrocytes, and myelomonocytic cells did not express detectable surface C3dR. These results suggest that in hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, the expression of C3dR is a specific feature of relatively mature lymphoid cells of B lineage.

Abstract
The maturation-associated human B cell rosette receptor (MER) for mouse erythrocytes has been solubilized from B cells by mild trypsinization. It specifically agglutinates mouse red cells. Material with hemagglutinating activity partitioned into the lipid-soluble phase of a Folch partition of the trypsin extract was sensitive to phospholipase C and alkali, and on two-dimensional thin layer chromatography, it co-migrated principally with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Phosphatidylcholine, the major lipid present, was inactive. The relationship of phospholipid structure to hemagglutinating activity has been described. PE in the crude trypsin extract was associated with unidentified glycoprotein and albumin. Material containing hemagglutinating lipid bound to a wheat germ lectin-Sepharose column and was released by N-acetylglucosamine, indicating that the PE was complexed with glycoprotein. When the crude trypsin extract or eluate from the lectin column was extracted with aqueous phenol, hemagglutinin in the aqueous phase no longer bound to wheat germ lectin-Sepharose; however, albumin was greatly enriched, indicating that some of the PE exists in a complex with albumin. The molar ratio of PE to albumin was approximately 200:1. After delipidation, this albumin (in molar excess) inhibited hemagglutination by PE in the same way as a recently described subclass of serum albumin. Studies with phospholipase-treated B cells were also consistent with PE being the MER. We conclude that MER is PE, existing in a complex containing glycoprotein and a subclass of albumin. The capacity to form rosettes can be transferred to nonrosetting Raji B cells by the complex, but not pure PE, indicating that the proteins may be involved in orienting PE correctly for it to function as the MER.

Abstract
The Fc receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R) on murine B lymphocytes was studied by using BALB/c mice infected 12 to 18 days previously with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. B cells were enriched in the Sephadex G-10-passed lymphocytes by treating with anti-Thy-1.2 and complement (C). After stripping any cytophilic Ig with low pH, the B cells were 125I surface labeled; subsequently the membranes were solubilized with nonionic detergent, and putative Fc epsilon R components were allowed to bind to IgE-coated adsorbents. Bound radiolabel was eluted with low pH, and when examined by SDS-PAGE, was found to consist primarily of a relatively broad band centered at 49,000 m.w. (49K). Fluid-phase IgE could prevent the binding of the 49K component to the IgE solid-phase adsorbents. Rebinding studies further indicated that the 49K component exhibited a specificity for IgE, thus confirming that the 49K component was the murine B lymphocyte Fc receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R). Some rebinding to rabbit IgG was observed, and by using 2.4G2, the monoclonal anti-Fc gamma 2b receptor (Fc gamma 2bR) antibody to isolate the IgG2b receptor, a clear distinction between the FC gamma 2bR and the 49K IgE receptor was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE analysis. Rabbit IgG was thus found to interact with both the 49K Fc epsilon R and the 59K FC gamma 2bR. The murine B lymphocyte Fc epsilon R was compared with the human B cell Fc epsilon R from the RPMI 8866 cell line and with the high affinity Fc epsilon R on rat basophilic leukemia cells by one- and two-dimensional gel analyses. The lymphocyte Fc epsilon R from mouse and human was found to be quite similar with respect to m.w. (45 to 50K) and isoelectric point (pI 4.5 to 5.0), whereas the basophil Fc epsilon R differed in both aspects.

Abstract
Peripheral blood and splenic lymphocytes from an elderly man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (Rai stage 4) were shown to have monoclonal surface immunoglobulin (IgM+, IgD+, kappa+), Ia-like antigen and receptors for unsensitized sheep red blood cells. The sheep red blood cell receptor was not blocked by monoclonal antibodies that bind to the classic T lymphocyte rosette receptor (OKT-11 and Lyt-3) or by anti-human IgG or antilambda antibodies. However, the sheep red blood cell receptor was blocked by antihuman IgM and kappa antisera and by soluble guinea pig kidney antigen (Forssman antigen). It is concluded from these and other observations that our patient has a B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder expressing monoclonal surface immunoglobulin with anti-"Forssman-like" antibody activity.

Abstract
Surface membrane immunoglobulin from MOPC-315 plasmacytoma cells (smM315) was isolated by nonionic detergent lysis of radioiodinated cells and affinity chromatography on Dnp-aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B. Verification of the solubilized molecule as an integral membrane protein, distinct from secreted MOPC-315 IgA (M315) was accomplished by NaDodSO4-PAGE, charge-shift electrophoresis and molecular sieve gel filtration with NP-40 and deoxycholate. smM315 was compared to reduced and alkylated monomeric secreted immunoglobulins from MOPC-315, MOPC-460, and XRPC-25 by quantitative affinity chromatography (QAC) using two differently substituted Dnp-aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B resins. Unique patterns of cross-reactivity of all secreted myeloma proteins were independently established with a competitive hapten inhibition assay using 125I-Dnp26BSA as the precipitating probe. After derivation with dinitrobenzylsulfonate, Dnp-aminohexyl-Sepharose 4B was modified with succinic anhydride which, with the inclusion of 0.03% Doc in a PBS and 0.1% NP-40 buffer, prevented nonhapten specific protein-matrix interactions during QAC. Dissociation constants determined by QAC for three ligands, (dinitrophenyl-glycine, trinitrophenyl-amino-caproate and tetramethylrhodamine) were essentially the same for smM315 and M315. Both of the other nitrophenyl binding IgA myelomas had distinct and significant differences in dissociation constants. Thus, for a differentiated antibody secreting cell which has undergone a heavy chain class switch, such as MOPC-315, the cell surface immunoglobulin has an identical ligand binding active-site as the secreted immunoglobulin.

Abstract
A new column chromatography technique, utilizing peroxidase-labeled antihuman immunoglobulins, is described, which can measure the binding of specific antibodies to membrane fragments containing relevant antigens. Using this assay, the presence of bound immunoglobulin is demonstrated on membrane fragments isolated from ascites fluids, but not from tumor tissues. In this study, two populations of immunoglobulins were examined: 'free' immunoglobulins and immunoglobulins bound to ascites fluid-derived membrane fragments. Immunoglobulins eluted from membrane fragments of the ascites fluids were capable of binding to the tumor. These were specific for binding to tumor membrane preparations, in that there was two orders of magnitude greater binding of these immunoglobulins at a given concentration than 'free' immunoglobulins at the same concentration.

Abstract
The myosin-affinity technique, along with conventional immunoaffinity chromatography of membrane immunoglobulin (mIg), was used to study the relation between proteins that bind to actin, and those that co-isolate with the mIg of normal chicken B-cells. In the case of biosynthetically-labeled cells, we found approximately 13 actin-associated polypeptides. Of this group, eight could be labeled with 125I surface labeling. When the actin-associated proteins were compared to proteins that co-isolate with mIg during immunoaffinity chromatography, we found that two of them (mol. wts 55,000 and 34,000) co-isolate with mIg. The 55,000 mol. wt polypeptide can be labeled with 125I surface labeling techniques, while the 34,000 mol. wt protein cannot, suggesting that only the 55,000 mol. wt protein is exposed on the outer surface of the plasma membrane. It is speculated that the function of these proteins may be involved in linking mIg to actin and perhaps to the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Procedures are described for fractionating cells utilizing a universally applicable cellular affinity chromatography matrix. The affinity matrix consists of immunoabsorption purified goat anti-fluorescein isothiocyanate antibody coupled to large derivatized polyacrylamide beads. This matrix may, in principle, be used to isolate any cell subpopulation provided it has a fluorescein-labeled ligand on its surface. In this report the matrix was used to isolate viable purified fractions of mouse surface Ig-positive cells, Lyt1 cells, and mouse lymphocytes that bind the lectin soybean agglutinin. A preliminary experiment using the anti-FITC beads suggested that this technique can provide a fraction of cells enriched in antigen binding cells. Cell populations isolated by this technique retain their ability to respond to in vitro mitogen stimulation, as well as their ability to be maintained in cell culture following fractionation. Additional experiments using a column consisting of goat anti-rabbit Ig antibody coupled to the same support material are also reported.

Abstract
Macrophages were examined for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin in actively demyelinating lesions in two patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical technique. In both cases, macrophages were present that stained for cytoplasmic or surface IgG or both. In one case, in which the tissue was rapidly fixed in chilled fixative, macrophages located among myelinated nerve fibers at plaque margins, but not elsewhere in the plaque, revealed surface IgG in the form of caps restricted to one or both poles of the cell. These caps were absent in sections stained for albumin. Because capping implies the presence of a multivalent ligand close to the cell surface and because cap formation was observed only in macrophages contacting myelin sheaths, we suggest that antimyelin antibody cytophilic for macrophages may be present in the central nervous system in MS, and that immune ligand-mediated phagocytosis may play a role in myelin breakdown in the disease. This study provides the first direct evidence that IgG participates locally in myelin breakdown in MS.

Abstract
Decreases in numbers and functions of SLE T lymphocytes as a form of lymphoreceptopathy were investigated using T lymphocytes and sera obtained from both SLE patients and healthy subjects with respect to the effects of suppressor T cells and Con A induced suppressor factor against antibody formation, changes in the membrane microviscosity and the ultrastructure of membrane associated particles (MAPs) of T lymphocytes. The lymphoreceptopathy of SLE T lymphocytes was induced by decreased microviscosity and abnormalities of distribution, size and density of MAPs on the T lymphocyte membrane which can be modulated by serum factors consisting mainly of IgG as T cell membrane binding antibody and partially of IgM as cytotoxic antibody.

Abstract
Murine spleen cell surface IgD is found in two forms upon SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. Both IgDI and IgDII are present on the surface of intact cells and appear to be native structures. Neither form could be accounted for by proteolytic degradation or disulfide bond rearrangement. IgDII has an apparent m.w. of 96,000, suggesting an HL structure. IgDI has an apparent m.w. of 150,000, approximately 33,000 daltons lower than that expected for an H2L2 structure. Significant variation in the relative amounts of IgDI and IgDII was found when mice of different strains were examined.
