Study on the E-rosette-blocking effects of E receptors.
Lymphocytes were purified from 10 samples of normal peripheral blood. E receptors were detached by heating to +45 degrees C. The sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and 2-aminoethylisothiouronium bromide (AET)-treated SRBC (AET-SRBC) were incubated at +4 degrees C for 2 h, with E receptors. E receptors detached by heating blocked E-rosette formation with SRBC, but not with AET-SRBC. The results suggest that E receptors may exhibit different conformational structures or different molecules which are responsible for E-rosette formation and E-AET-rosette formation, respectively.
