Methods: Peritoneal cell suspensions with unblocked and/or blocked receptors on BALB/c mouse B lymphocytes we infected by bacterium M. bovis BCG-GFP unopsonized and/or opsonized by fresh murine serum ("complement") or immune serum ("antibodies"). Using flow cytometry we evaluated the entry of bacterium M. bovis BCG-GFP into B lymphocytes and their subpopulations B1a, B1b and B2. Results: M. bovis BCG-GFP actively enters into B lymphocytes. Depending on the subpopulation, it most infects B1a, less B1b and at least B2 lymphocytes. Only the subpopulation B2 responds significantly to the opsonization by complement. Opsonization by antibodies had no significant effect on the infection. Entry into CD19+ cells is mediated through the BCR receptor, especially in subpopulations B1a and B1b. Under the opsonized conditions, the CR1/2 complement receptor is...
