B lymphocyte subpopulations separated by velocity sedimentation. II. Characterization of tolerance susceptibility
Abstract
Neonatal and adult splenic B lymphocyte subpopulations, separated by velocity sedimentation, were tested in an in vitro splenic focus assay for their susceptibility to tolerance induction with hapten-protein conjugates. At least two tolerizable B cell subsets have been defined in the neonatal spleen; one comprising the slowly sedimenting, small lymphocytes and the other comprising the very rapidly sedimenting, large lymphocytes. In addition, a rapidly sedimenting large B cell subset in the adult spleen was found to be highly susceptible to tolerance induction. It was suggested that the inability to detect this susceptibility in unfractionated adult spleen was due to the low proportion of these very large lymphocytes in the total spleen cell population. The tolerizable B cell subsets presently defined probably represent the least mature B lymphocytes detectable in the splenic focus assay.
