Abstract
Lymphoid tumors are productive experimental models for the study of lymphocyte immunoglobulin receptors. Investigations with Fc receptor expressing lymphoid tumor cells have generated much useful information about: (a) the developmental expression of the different classes of Fc receptors on lymphoid cells of the T- and B-lineages; (b) the biochemical steps involved in the regulation of Fc receptor expression on lymphoid cells; (c) the structures of lymphoid cell Fc receptors and their genes; (d) the signals that induce alterations in the expression of Fc receptors on lymphoid cells; and (e) the molecular specificity of the binding of immunoglobulin to lymphoid cells Fc receptors. In addition, tumors that secrete immunoglobulins are providing useful models for analysis of the mechanisms by which B-cells influence Fc receptor expression and function on T-cells. An interesting, bi-directional immunoregulatory circuit involving Fc epsilon R+ host T-cells and IgE-secreting hybridoma cells has been identified that could prove useful in the analysis of the regulation of epsilon heavy chain expression. The studies discussed in this article and elsewhere in this volume serve to emphasize that, in addition to being clonal sources of key molecules such as Fc receptors and their messenger RNAs, lymphoid tumor cells that express Fc receptors are powerful and unique experimental models for investigating the developmental biology, regulation and function of lymphocyte Fc receptors.
