title: Behaviour of sheep-immunoglobulin-bearing and non-immunoglobulin-bearing lymphocytes isolated by nylon wool columns.
abstract: The technique of separating lymphocytes on nylon wool columns has been applied to sheep lymphocytes obtained from efferent lymph. The non-immunoglobulin-bearing (sIg-) lymphocytes which pass through the column were MLR-reactive, responsive only to T cell mitogens, and migrated in vivo like T lymphocytes described in rodents. Immunoglobulin-bearing (sIg+) lymphocytes were MLR-non-reactive, responsive to lipopolysaccharide and migrated in vivo like B lymphocytes in rodents. It is considered that the majority of sIg- lymphocytes obtained in this way are T lymphocytes and the majority of sIg+ lymphocytes are B lymphocytes.
