Properties of Educated T Cells for Rosette Formation and Cooperation with T Cells

Abstract

IT has been shown that the humoral antibody response in mice to many antigens requires cooperation between thymus derived lymphocytes (T cells) and bone marrow derived lymphocytes (B cells)1,2. The B cells are the direct precursors of antibody secreting cells and, although T cells react specifically with antigen, their role is unknown2–6.
