Activation of rat B lymphocytes. II. Functional and structural changes in "aged" rat B lymphocytes
Authors:J S Rosenberg  S C Gilman  J D Feldman
Abstract:Anti-mu, anti-gamma, and anti-delta antibodies induce proliferation of splenic B lymphocytes from young Lewis rats, measured by 3H-TdR uptake. In contrast, splenic B cells of aged Lewis rats respond poorly or not at all to these reagents. T lymphocytes or interleukin 2 (IL-2) of young or aged rats augment the uptake of 3H-TdR in cultures of "young" B cells responding to anti-Ig reagents or LPS and DxS, but have no significant effect on the responses of "old" B cells. Analysis of spleen cells of young and aged rats in a fluorescence-activated cell sorter indicates the density of mu, gamma, and delta isotypes is reduced in "old" B cells, and that B cells of aged rats are significantly larger than those of young rats. These results delineate anatomic and structural changes in B lymphocytes of aged rats.
