Abstract:
:We describe several proteins that are components of the rabbit B cell receptor complex. Two proteins (37 kDa and 42 kDa) were found in non-covalent association with IgM expressed on B cells from peripheral blood. These proteins were also immunoprecipitated by anti-B29 (Ig-beta) and anti-mb1 (Ig-alpha) monoclonal antibodies. As in the mouse and human, the IgM associated molecules were found as heteromeric structures with non-reduced apparent molecular weights of approximately 70-75 kDa. On rabbit B cells we also found these proteins in a 100-135 kDa complex which may represent trimeric or tetrameric structures. By Western blot, the 37 kDa protein was identified as rabbit Ig-beta (B29), suggesting that the 42 kDa protein is rabbit Ig-alpha. These data suggest that rabbit IgM is associated with both Ig-alpha/beta and Ig-(alpha beta)2 or alpha beta gamma complexes. When similar immunoprecipitation studies were performed on lysates made from B cells isolated from appendix follicles, we found two additional IgM associated protein complexes containing 34 kDa and 36 kDa proteins.
