title: [Evolutionary origin of the T-lymphocyte receptor. II. Production and partial characterization of antisera to the immunoglobulin-like cell membrane protein from thymocytes of the carp].
abstract: An immunoglobulin-like protein from Triton X-100 solubilized cell surface proteins from thymocytes can be isolated by specific precipitation using anti-IgM antibodies. Immunizing rabbits with those immune complexes we succeeded to elicit anti-thymocyte mIg sera reacting with both thymocyte mIg and IgM. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that anti-IgM and anti-thymocyte mIg sera recognize the same thymocytic surface protein. The cross-reactivity between thymocyte mIg and IgM is caused by protein determinants very similar to each other. Anti-thymocyte mIg sera absorbed with IgM lose their capacity to bind thymocyte mIg. However, following absorption with thymocytes anti-IgM sera still possess amounts of antibodies reacting with humoral IgM.
