To identify IgM and IgG on the surface of normal bovine B-lymphocytes, the test of antiglobulin-rosette formation (anti-Ig rosettes) was used. IgM and IgG were found to exist on separate B-lymphocyte populations. The composition of receptors on the surface of lymphocytes, forming Ig rosettes, was investigated. The distribution of these lymphocytes in bovine blood and lymphoid organs was determined. IgM and IgG were detected on the surface of thymocytes, their origin remains open to question.
