Abstract Common immunoregulatory carbohydrate receptors on the membranes of neurons and sysngeneic peripheral lymphocytes of mice are detected by using lectins. Brain neuron membranes possess no receptors characteristic of immature lymphocytes. The common immunoregulatory receptors on brain neurons and mononuclear cells of peripheral immune organs are shown to represent one the mechanisms of integration of the nervous and immune systems.
