In order to characterize the reactivity of B cells against nominal antigens, a method based on
the coupling of antigens onto the surface of fluorescent core polystyrene beads was
developed. We first demonstrate that murine B cells with a human MOG-specific BCR are
able to interact with MOG-coated beads and do not recognize beads coated with human
albumin or pp65. B cells purified from human healthy volunteer blood or immunized
individuals were tested for their ability to interact with various nominal antigens, including …
