  • Title: Macrophage-lymphocyte interaction: antigen-independent binding of guinea pig lymph node lymphocytes by macrophages.
    Author: Lipsky PE, Rosenthal AS.
    Journal: J Immunol; 1975 Aug; 115(2):440-5. PubMed ID: 50361.
    Abstract:
    The antigen independent binding of guinea pig lymph node lymphocytes by glass-adherent macrophages was investigated. Binding was found to be mediated by a trypsin digestible, divalent cation-dependent, temperature-sensitive macrophage receptor mechanism that was not competitively inhibited by excess immunoglobulin. Data are presented to indicate that in the absence of antigen, macrophages were capable of binding both thymus-derived and bone marrow-derived lymphocytes without apparent selectivity, and further, that the binding of neither cell was mediated by surface membrane-associated immunoglobulin.
