Popis: Uninduced Friend virus-infected erythroleukemic cells (FLC) have been shown to carry the Fc receptor for immunoglobulin when assayed for their ability to form rosettes with antibody-coated sheep erythrocytes (EA-IgG). Cells induced to differentiate with dimethylsulfoxide (Me 2 SO), ultimately lose the ability to form rosettes with EA-IgG. Hence, it appears that the ability of FLC to form rosettes with EA-IgG is due to the precursor cell surface components which are either masked or lost following Me 2 SO-mediated induction as mature erythrocyte-specific membrane antigens appear. This suggestion is supported by a decrease in the number of Friend progenitor cells capable of binding fluorescein-conjugated antibodies, produced in rabbits against mouse gamma globulin, following Me 2 SO-induced differentiation.
