Cellular localization of immunoglobulins with different allotypic specificities in rabbit lymphoid tissues
TL;DR: The cellular localization of allotypes in rabbit lymphoid tissues has been studied by immunofluorescence and double staining for two allotypes controlled by genes at different loci has shown the presence of cells containing immunoglobulins that lack one allotype.

Abstract: The cellular localization of allotypes in rabbit lymphoid tissues has been studied by immunofluorescence. In heterozygous animals the double staining for two allotypes controlled by allelic genes (A1 and A2; A4 and A5; A4 and A6) has shown the existence of two populations of plasma cells, one containing one allotype and the other the alternative one. The localization in different cells of immunoglobulins marked by allelic allotypic specificities has been confirmed by microspectrography of single cells. An exception to this rule was given by the presence in the germinal centers of lymphoid follicles of apparently uniform mixtures of products of the two allelic genes.
Double staining for two allotypes controlled by genes at different loci showed, instead, the presence of many cells containing both allotypes; the number of these cells was highest in doubly homozygotes, in the other it was consistent with random association of non-allelic specificities.
In addition double staining for one allotype and gamma G globulins in the lymphoid tissues of rabbits homozygous at the a or at the b locus, has shown the presence of cells containing immunoglobulins that lack one allotype.

The cytotoxic effect of heterologous antisera to mouse IgG on mouse lymphocytes.
M. P. Kaplan,J. R. Batchelor +1 more
TL;DR: Goat and rabbit anti-mouse IgG were significantly cytotoxic for adult mouse lymphocytes from spleen, lymph node, peripheral blood, and to a lesser extent, bone marrow.

The basic study on kappa-lambda imaging by delta-curve for the detection of a monoclonal B-cell population in the peripheral blood.
TL;DR: A more sensitive parameter for the kappa-lambda analysis than the D value called the delta-curve (delta c) is devised, which applies the same principle as that of the Dvalue.

The absence of inactivation at two autosomal loci.
TL;DR: Cell culture techniques and starch gel electrophoresis were utilized in an attempt to detect the presence of autosomal inactivation at the branched chain amino acid decarboxylase locus and the locus controlling phosphoglueomutase activity, and partial inactivation was excluded in the phosphoglucomutase system.

CD8+ T lymphocytes in double alpha beta TCR transgenic mice. I. TCR expression and thymus selection in the absence or in the presence of self-antigen.
TL;DR: Differences in TCR and coreceptor expression between female and male MoaHY and DTg mice suggest that peripheral T cell survival requires an optimal level of signaling, which implies a process of “adaptation” of lymphocyte populations to the host environment.
Modulation and regrowth of allotype on normal rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes: allelic inclusion of b4 and b6 in single cells.
Edward S. Kimball,Benjamin Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that normal heterozygous peripheral blood lymphocytes may express both b -locus alleles and that these determinants are in some manner physically associated with one another in the cell membrane.

Studies on antibody production i. a method for the histochemical demonstration of specific antibody and its application to a study of the hyperimmune rabbit
TL;DR: Small amounts of antibody were occasionally visible in cells in the lymphoid follicles of the spleen and lymph nodes, so that a minor contribution by lymphocytes to antibody synthesis cannot be excluded.

Allotypy of rabbit serum proteins : i. immunochemical analysis leading to the individualization of seven main allotypes
TL;DR: It was concluded that at least one serum protein antigen, the specificity of which so far has been considered to be uniform throughout the animal species, can instead be present in different individuals as different forms or allotypes with somewhat different antigenic specificities.
