The usefulness of Primed Lymphocyte Typing (PLT) for recognizing Lymphocyte Defined (LD) determinants of the Major Histocompatibility Complex of the dog (DLA) was assessed in 10 separate experiments. Application of a technique described for human cell to peripheral blood lymphocytes of dogs gave reproducible, informative results. DLA LD determinants were shown to be of major importance in secondary responses of alloantigen "primed" lymphocytes, but other, a yet undefined, factors also appeared to play a role in the assay.

B Cell Activation and Differentiation
When naive B cells encounter a specific antigen that can bind to the B cell receptor (BCR) on their surface, they undergo sensitization to respond to the antigen's presence. Sensitization begins with...

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
