Three populations of murine splenic B lymphocytes have been characterized previously (6, 7, 9) as those bearing only IgM, those bearing only IgD, and a population bearing both isotopes. These studies were designed to test the response of the IgM+ cells (IgM-only or IgM plus IgD) vs. the IgD-only cells to the B-cell mitogen, lipopolysaccharide. Results that after 1-4 days of culture, in the presence of mitogen, the IgM+ cells enlarge and elaborate an IgM polyclonal response. The IgD-only cells, in contrast, do not exhibit an IgM polyclonal response, but instead undergo blastogenesis and proliferation.

SummaryA significant polyclonal activation of B lymphocytes was observed during experimental infection of C57BL/10J mice with Schistosoma mansoni. The isotypic pattern of this expansion, assessed by the Protein-A plaque-forming cell method, was compared with and found to differ from those occurring after infection by Trypanosoma cruzi or injection of bacterial LPS. In the infection of S. mansoni an early expansion of most immunoglobulin isotypes occurs together with a late, sustained expansion of IgG1-secreting cells. High levels of polyclonal B cell activation were observed after adoptive transfer of spleen cells from infected mice to isogenic recipients pre-treated with hydroxyurea.
