Popis: Repeated injection of rabbit immunoglobulins into mice before immunization with sheep's red cells inhibits the process of accumulation of rosette-forming cells but does not affect proliferation of antibody-forming cells or hemagglutinin production. Under these conditions the number of rosette-forming cells is reduced on account of the B cells, whose antigen-binding receptors may be blocked by means of antibodies against aggregated mouse immunoglobulins and polyA:polyU complex. Repeated injection of the competing antigen was shown to stimulate the formation of immunological memory for the second antigen. The question of the origin of the immune rosette-forming B cells and their effect on the formation of immunological memory is discussed.
