Abstract
Immunoglobulin complexes, composed of heat-aggregated human Ig, were shown to bind to mouse B lymphocytes of a variety of strains, but not to either thymocytes or thymus-derived (T) lymphocytes under a variety of conditions. It was shown that this binding was not due to either natural human antibodies against mouse nor to nonspecific binding of human Ig by mouse lymphocytes. Such complexes were shown to bind to the same sites which bind mouse antibody-antigen complexes. This site is known as the Fc receptor.
