✦ Synopsis

The beta-glucuronidase staining characteristics of isolated T cell populations and the Tmu and T gamma enriched fractions derived of them were studied. T gamma lymphocytes were obtained from purified T lymphocytes by ox-IgG rosette sedimentation. The rosette-forming cells in the pellet were referred to as T gamma lymphocytes, whereas the lymphocytes in the interface were referred to as T gamma depleted or Tmu lymphocytes. B cells were studied on rosetted mononuclear cells with either mouse erythrocytes or with Staphylococcus Aureus (Cowan I) bacteria, after a preceeding polyvalent anti-human Ig treatment of the cells. While B cells showed mostly no reactivity, Tmu and T gamma cells were respectively characterised by a "dot-like" and "granular" pattern of reactivity. These findings are in agreement with those observed by others after alpha-naphthyl-acetate esterase or acid phosphatase staining. Within the T lymphocyte fraction, the T non-mu, non-gamma lymphocytes seemed to have a granular pattern of reactivity. The same staining pattern was found in non-B, non-T lymphocytes.

Trypanosoma cruzi causes a profound immune depression in the infected host, and a small proportion of chagasic patients will develop a chronic disease characterized by myocardiopathy. There is evidence suggesting that dilated non-chagasic cardiomyopathy may be mediated by an immunological mechanism.

Function of the LFA-1 and T4 molecules in the direct activation of resting human B lymphocytes by T lymphocytes\* Activated T lymphocytes can provide all of the signals necessary to induce the proliferation of resting B lymphocytes. The activation signal is presumably initiated through direct T-B ly
