Monoclonal antibodies have been derived against a variety of antigens on human leukocytes. We describe a complement-fixing, IgG2a, murine monoclonal antibody that was derived against ARH-77, a human plasma cell line. In a Western blot of a lysate of ARH-77, anti-ARH-77 recognized a 155 kD protein. On normal B cells, the antibody co-capped with surface immunoglobulin. Analysis of blood and lymph nodes indicated that the determinant recognized by the antibody is expressed by most B cells, T cells, monocytes, and lymphomas with surface immunoglobulin. The determinant was not present on granulocytes, platelets, mantle zone lymphocytes, or serum immunoglobulin. We conclude that anti-ARH-77 is a cytotoxic monoclonal antibody that recognizes a determinant shared by human mononuclear leukocytes. The determinant may be an exposed part of a membrane anchor or bridging protein associated with receptors on mononuclear cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007152 Immunologic Capping An energy dependent process following the crosslinking of B CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS by multivalent ligands (bivalent anti-antibodies, LECTINS or ANTIGENS), on the B-cell surface. The crosslinked ligand-antigen receptor complexes collect in patches which flow to and aggregate at one pole of the cell to form a large mass - the cap. The caps may then be endocytosed or shed into the environment. Capping, Immunologic,Immunological Capping,Capping, Immunological
D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
