title: Observation on the capping of spleen lymphocytes from scrapie infected mice after treatment with anti Ig.
abstract: Staining of lymphocytes from scrapie-infected STU mice with FITC-labelled anti-mouse Ig revealed disturbances in the capping process when compared with lymphocytes from mock-infected animals. Quantitative evaluation indicates that 10-15% of cells from scrapie-infected animals show an altered capping behaviour. These phenomena are discussed with special reference to the role of the lymphoreticular system in early scrapie agent replication.
