摘要: Mononuclear cells (MNC) obtained from adult rib specimen were investigated for their capacity to produce immunoglobulin (Ig) in vitro. Using limiting dilution analysis 3 populations of B lineage could be distinguished. The first produces Ig culture without any intentional activation. These are strictly nonproliferating and sustain extraordinary secretory rates 5 X 10(7)-10 10(7) molecules IgG, IgA or IgM/cell/h at least 2 weeks. They occur frequencies 1 10(-4)-10 10(-4) (marrow MNC) represent 1-5% marrow cells. Following exposure infectious Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), these do not (a) proliferate, (b) express EBV-determined nuclear antigens (EBNA), (c) enhance (d) show activity prolonged time. therefore EBV resistant. If produced antibody similar vivo, then would suggest that they provide up 2/3 daily synthetic IgG 20-30% the IgM production. second population is exclusively committed EBNA begin secrete IgM. third represents 90% In our hands, unable
