What is Regulation of B lymphocyte activation by the Fc portion of immunoglobulin about?

## Abstract Murine splenic B lymphocytes are induced to proliferate and undergo polyclonal activation in the presence of Fc fragments, AHGG, antigen‐antibody complexes, and CH~3~ fragments derived from plasmin digestion of human Ig. The unifying feature of the polyclonal antibody response induced by these agents is that in all cases a portion of the constant region of the Ig molecule (ie, Fc region) is present. Fragments of Ig lacking the Fc piece, such as Fab and F(ab′)~2~ were found not to be stimulatory. In addition, a model is proposed to account for the regulatory effects of antigen‐antibody complexes on an ongoing humoral immune response.
