A large population of lymphocytes is able to form rosettes with syngeneic, allogeneic or closely related xenogeneic erythrocytes. Similar results were found with spleen cells from mice, rats and rabbits. The highest numbers were found in mice where up to 30% of lymphocytes bound autologous erythrocytes. Rosette formation is probably due to stereospecific cell surface receptors since erythrocytes of distant xenogeneic origin were not recognized. Rosette forming cells do not seem to be restricted to the B-cell or T-cell compartment since mouse thymus cells as well as spleen cells from congenitally athymic (nude) mice bound erythrocytes to a similar degree.
大量淋巴细胞能够与同基因、异基因或亲缘关系密切的异种红细胞形成玫瑰花结。在小鼠、大鼠和兔子的脾细胞中也发现了类似结果。在小鼠中发现的数量最多,高达30%的淋巴细胞能结合自体红细胞。玫瑰花结的形成可能是由于立体特异性细胞表面受体,因为远源异种来源的红细胞未被识别。形成玫瑰花结的细胞似乎并不局限于B细胞或T细胞区室,因为小鼠胸腺细胞以及先天性无胸腺(裸)小鼠的脾细胞结合红细胞的程度相似。
