Rabbit PBL were studied regarding the presence of different classes of s-Ig, under experimental conditions, ensuring the endogeneous origin of these proteins. About 40% of the lymphocytes are B cells (Fab positive and a1 positive in a1 homozygous rabbits). IgG positive lymphocytes could be found, but only using and anti dll conjugate (allotype located on the Fd gamma region of IgG). Anti Fc gamma conjugates were negative. Most of the B cells are IgM positive, most of these IgM cells however were also positive for either IgG or IgA. Np lymphocytes were found bearing both IgG and IgA. Careful analysis of the percentages of various isotypes found on B cells suggests that some "IgD" positive lymphocytes could be present. Results are discussed in relation to B cell differentiation.
