Abstract excerpt
Anti-Ig stimulated murine B cells express high levels of surface CD5 (ly-1) and increased CD44 while maintaining surface IgD, CD23 and J11d. Sorting of CD5- and CD5+ cells demonstrates that anti-Ig induces CD5 expression rather than the selective expansion of CD5+ cells. Anti Ig plus interleukin-6 (IL-6) induces the CD23, IgD, low ly-5 (B220) (CD45low), J11dhigh phenotype of typical CD5+ peritoneal B cells. In...
