Abstract
The surface immunoglobulin heavy chains on individual spleen cells fractionated by velocity sedimentation were studied using fluorescent antisera. In adult mice, cells bearing both mu and delta chains were found in all fractions. While there was an increase in the proportion of cells bearing mu only in the medium to large cell fractions, the majority of cells bearing mu only were small lymphocytes. Results obtained using 3-week-old mice were basically similar, but showed both a marked decrease in small mu + delta + cells and a marked increase in small mu + delta - cells when compared with adult animals.
