High impact information on EAM

The effects of IgM rheumatoid factor on EAM and EAG rosette formation with Fc receptor-bearing lymphoid cells [1].
IgM rheumatoid factors (IgM-RF) and IgM from normal donors (IgM-C) were tested for their effects on rosette formation of Fc receptor (FcR)-bearing lymphoid cells with IgM- or IgG-coated bovine red blood cells (EAM or EAG) [1].
T cells or L cells bearing FcRM showed reduced numbers of EAM rosettes in the presence of any IgM preparation [1].

Anatomical context of EAM

Lymphocytes forming rosettes with EAM did not bind sheep red cells, had membrane Ia-like antigens and, in some instances, surface immunoglobulin [2].
