Description

Spleen cells from normal and Aγ chickens mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity ADCC on syngeneic or allogeneic RBC. They are non-T, non-B cells with Fc receptors. They are nylon wool adherent; a proportion of them are also plastic adherent and inhibitable by trypan blue. They are resistant to 2000-rad γ-irradiation in vitro. Spleen cells can be armed to mediate ADCC on unsensitized target RBC by incubation with antibody.
