Receptors for peanut agglutinin on a high percentage of human cord-blood lymphocytes : phenotype characterization of peanut-positive cells / R. Maccario, F.A. Ferrari, S. Siena, M.A. Vitiello, A. Martini, A.G. Siccardi, A.G. Ugazio. - In: THYMUS. - ISSN 0165-6090. - 2:6(1981 Apr), pp. 329-337.
Abstract:
The results of this study show that a high percentage of human cord-blood lymphocytes bears receptors for peanut agglutinin. Determination of the presence of other lymphocyte markers (E rosettes, membrane immunoglobulins, alpha-naphthyl-acetate esterase, Ia antigens) in the peanut-positive cells indicated that they include both T and B cells. The peanut receptor, also expressed by blast cells of most acute, but not chronic, leukemias, seems to be a marker of immaturity for both T- and B-lymphocyte subsets in man as it is in the mouse.
