[Cell surface immunoglobulin of carp lymphocytes (Cyprinus carpio L.)].
Molecular size and polypeptide chain composition of cell membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) on lymphocytes of carp were studied using lactopreoxidase-catalysed surface radioiodination and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Carp lymphocytes prepared from pronephros, blood and thymus carry mIgM in relatively high quantity. That means about 5-10% of the radiolabelled macromolecular cell surface material precipitates as IgM. Cell surface IgM on carp lymphocytes is present as monomeric IgM (m.w. 220000-260000) and HL subunit (m.w. 110000). There are differences among molecular weights of mIg monomers of pronephric lymphocytes (m.w. 220000) and thymocytes (m.w. 260000), whereas blood lymphocytes show both components. Following reduction and alkylation H and L chains were observed. Additional thymocytic mIg possesses two unidentified components with m.w. 35000-40000 and 110000.
