Although platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptors have been found on B lymphoblastoid cell lines, the action of PAF on freshly isolated human B cells has not been clearly demonstrated. Using a sensitive semiquantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR, we have found PAF receptor mRNA expressed by tonsillar B lymphocytes, but little in T lymphocytes. ... More
