[Switch in the synthesis from IgM to IgG in the human lymphoblastoid cell line RPMI-6410t as affected by human sera]
The switch from IgM to IgG in lymphoblastoid cell line RPMI-6410t was induced by human sera. The factor inducing the switch was found in the human placental serum and in the serum of peripheral blood of healthy donors. The switch investigated is induced both in the initial line 6410t and in some IgM+ sublines derived from it. With the help of the cloning method some IgG+ sublines were developed with different IgG-synthesis levels from 6410t line and its IgM+ sublines after inducing the switch in them. Earlier another type of the switch induction from IgM to IgA was observed in the same line and its IgM+-sublines by the factors contained in some batches of fetal calf serum (FCSG+). Thus, the homogeneous IgM+ cell population is shown to be able to pass in vitro though two different stages of differentiation inherent to B lymphocytes in vivo.
