Antigen-specific B cells (ASC) were purified from other B cells by prior incubation with specific antigen followed by rosetting with erythrocytes conjugated with anti-mouse Ig and sedimenting on Ficoll-Isopaque. This procedure allowed the removal of most of the B cells, while those speicifc for the antigen used in incubation were retained. Relative to the B-cell content, ASC were enriched 64- to 132-fold. The method is highly specific in that B cells primed to two different antigens, turkey gamma globulin and sheep erythrocytes, could be separated from each other. The advantages of this indirect purification procedure over purification procedures which obtain ASC directly are the simplicity of obtaining the ASC and the ability of the ASC of respond to antigen without the addition of other cells.
抗原特异性B细胞(ASC)通过以下方法从其他B细胞中纯化出来:先用特异性抗原进行预孵育,然后与抗小鼠Ig偶联的红细胞进行花环形成,再在Ficoll-Isopaque上沉淀。该程序可去除大多数B细胞,而保留那些对孵育中所用抗原具有特异性的细胞。相对于B细胞含量,ASC富集了64至132倍。该方法具有高度特异性,因为针对两种不同抗原(火鸡γ球蛋白和绵羊红细胞)致敏的B细胞可以彼此分离。与直接获得ASC的纯化程序相比,这种间接纯化程序的优点在于获得ASC的方法简单,并且ASC能够在不添加其他细胞的情况下对抗原作出反应。
