B-cell tolerance. IV. Differential role of surface IgM and IgD in determining tolerance susceptibility of murine B cells

During ontogeny IgD appears later than IgM on splenocytes of neonatal mice (1) and at a time when mice develop a markedly increased immune responsiveness (2). Based on these observations, it was suggested that IgD serves as a “triggering” isotype for induction of immune responses, whereas surface Ig...
