Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the properties of the lymphocyte plasma
membrane that relate to its antigenic nature and immunological functions. It also discusses …

The cell surface (plasma) membrane plays a crucial role in many diverse aspects of the
cell's behavior. Thus, the membrane acts not only as a barrier regulating the influx and efflux …

We report the successful coreconstitution of solubilized lymphocyte plasma membranes and
Sendai virus envelopes into membrane vesicles that possess the ability to fuse efficiently …

Lymphocytes are the cellular repositories for immune responsiveness. Current concepts
based on considerable evidence indicate that there are a large number (probably exceeding …

The lymphocyte plasma membrane is the locus of events which control the immune
response. T and B lymphocytes, which mediate cellular and humoral immunity respectively …

One advantage in studying the B lymphocyte is that several of the membrane receptors
which control the cell's function are well-known and molecularly defined. These are surface …

The immunoglobulins which are present on the membrane of B lymphocytes of different
species are mobile in the plane of the membrane itself. This mobility results in the formation …

We describe a method for the isolation of plasma membranes and other organelles from the
lymphocytes of pig mesenteric lymph nodes, as well as from calf mediastinal nodes. The …

Cell membranes bearing the appropriate antigen are known to stimulate a variety of
cellmediated immune responses. This report confirms that tumor cell membranes at doses of …

The characterization of lymphocyte membranes is a major goal of current research in
immunology. Cell-surface molecules of lymphocytes are likely to be important in a number of …
