Summary The surface immunoglobulin heavy chains on individual spleen cells fractionated by velocity sedimentation were studied using fluorescent antisera. In adult mice, cells bearing both μ and δ chains were found in all fractions. While there was an increase in the proportion of cells bearing μ only in the medium to large cell fractions, the majority of cells bearing μ only were small lymphocytes. Results obtained using 3‐week‐old mice were basically similar, but showed both a marked decrease in small μ+ δ+ cells and a marked increase in small μ + δ ‐ cells when compared with adult animals.
