The bursa of Fabricius: a trapping site for environmental antigens.

The entry of environmental antigens into the lumen of the bursa of Fabricius was prevented by ligating the bursal duct prior to hatching (BDL: bursal duct ligation). The development of 'natural' serum agglutinins for bacteria and heteroerythrocytes was markedly suppressed by BDL. The antigen-specific recovery was observed by simultaneous administration of sterile antigens into the bursal lumen at the time of BDL. These results strongly suggest that the bursa of Fabricius is a major channel through which environmental antigens stimulate the immune system and induce the formation of 'natural' serum agglutinins.

A newly established human lymphoma cell line, FL-18, carrying a 14;18 translocation.

A new human cell line named FL-18, carrying a 14;18 translocation [t(14;18)(q32;q21)], was established from a Japanese patient with follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma. The established FL-18 cells had monoclonal surface immunoglobulins (IgG-kappa) and were negative for Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigens. The high-resolution banding technique indicated the breakpoints of chromosomes 14 and 18 involved in the characteristic 14;18 translocation to be at sub-bands 14q32.3 and 18q21.3, respectively. The FL-18 cell line should be useful for studying oncogenic events associated with 14;18 translocation and karyotype evolution.
