Lymphocyte receptors. II. Receptors for rabbit IgM on human T lymphocytes.
Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were found to give an opsonic adherence reaction with IgM-coated erythrocytes. This reactivity could only be detected after incubating the lymphocytes at 37 degrees, was confined to the T-lymphocyte population and could be inhibited by IgM but not IgG. It is concluded that human T lymphocytes possess a receptor for IgM.
