Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that a neutral glycolipid (globotriosylceramide; Gb3) was specifically expressed on Burkitt's lymphoma cells and on a subset of germinal center tonsillar B lymphocytes. Recently the Gb3 molecule was recognized as a new B cell differentiation antigen and now defines the CD77 cluster. Here we report an extensive phenotypic and functional characterization of the tonsillar CD77+ B...
