Abstract:
A random sample of 221 individuals taken from 2000 inhabitants of a small Caribbean island of French origin were typed for Gm and Km allotypes. Gm haplotype frequencies were found to be significantly different from France. Km(1) frequency was found to be lower than in the French population. These differences suggest a small degree of admixture with the Black population, and genetic drift.

Diversity of Antigen Receptors
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
