[Role of antigen-binding cells in the formation of producers of antibodies and antigen-dependent nonspecific immunoglobulins].

The role of antigen-binding cells in the formation of antigen-dependent nonspecific immunoglobulin producers in the Mishell-Dutton system was investigated. It was shown that the main part of antigen-dependent nonspecific immunoglobulin producers arise from the cells bearing antigen-specific receptors (as well as antibody producers). The nature of antigen-specific receptors of the precursors of antibody-forming and antigen-dependent nonspecific immunoglobulin-forming cells is discussed.
