pubmed:abstractText
Evolution of idiotypic determinants on lymphocytes membrane and presence of other lymphocytes carrying anti-idiotypic determinants, were studied in Rh negative human volunteer blood donors during immunization towards Rh factor. For this purpose E-Rh Rosettes, direct immunofluorescence, inhibition of E-Rh Rosettes by anti-idiotypic sera as well as EA-Rh Rosettes--induced with Fab'2 fragments from anti-Rh antibodies and lymphocytes from the same subject--were examined and compared to the evolution of circulating antibodies. E-Rh Rosettes preceded or accompanied production of anti-Rh antibodies; their frequency decreased after the fifth month following immunization, meanwhile EA-Rh Rosettes increased in parallel with antibody decrease. The direct immunofluorescence and the inhibition of E-Rh Rosettes, by anti-idiotypic sera, show the presence of idiotypic determinants on lymphocyte membranes; the presence of EA-Rh Rosettes, coinciding with the decrease in antibodies demonstrate the existence of lymphocytes bearing auto-anti-idiotypic determinants.
