Abstract excerpt
When splenic CD5- B cells are stimulated with antiimmunoglobulin they become CD5+ and have a prolonged in vitro life. Further treatment with IL-6 induces a loss of surface CD23 and IgD; that is, they resemble freshly isolated peritoneal CD5+ cells. These data suggest that the CD5 phenotype is induced after sIg-mediated B-cell activation. Additional support for this view arises from the observation that the loss...
