Monoclonal antibody directed to a B-cell antigen present in rats, mice, and humans. 1979

D L Gasser, and B A Winters, and J B Haas, and T J McKearn, and R H Kennett

Spleen cells from a LEW.AVN rat immunized with cells from an MNR rat were fused with mouse myeloma cells to produce hybrid cell lines. One of these hybridomas produced a monoclonal antibody that was cytotoxic for bone marrow-derived (B) but not thymus-derived (T) cells. The antigen defined by this antibody is determined by a gene linked to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The antigen is also present on B cells of most mouse strains and is determined by an MHC-linked gene in this species as well. In both rats and mice, the gene determining the antigen maps within the immune response region of the MHC. All human B-cell lines, but not T-cell lines, and B but not T cells of all human donors tested so far are also positive for this antigen. Among human-mouse somatic cell lines that have lost various human chromosomes, this B-cell antigen is present on all lines that are positive for HLA antigen but is absent from all lines that have lost HLA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007518 Isoantibodies Antibodies from an individual that react with ISOANTIGENS of another individual of the same species. Alloantibodies
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D008285 Major Histocompatibility Complex The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement. Histocompatibility Complex,Complex, Histocompatibility,Complex, Major Histocompatibility,Complices, Histocompatibility,Complices, Major Histocompatibility,Histocompatibility Complex, Major,Histocompatibility Complices,Histocompatibility Complices, Major,Major Histocompatibility Complices
D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence. (From King & Stansfield, Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Clones,Cell, Clone,Cells, Clone,Clone,Clone Cell
D005796 Genes A category of nucleic acid sequences that function as units of heredity and which code for the basic instructions for the development, reproduction, and maintenance of organisms. Cistron,Gene,Genetic Materials,Cistrons,Genetic Material,Material, Genetic,Materials, Genetic
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D006822 Hybrid Cells Any cell, other than a ZYGOTE, that contains elements (such as NUCLEI and CYTOPLASM) from two or more different cells, usually produced by artificial CELL FUSION. Somatic Cell Hybrids,Cell Hybrid, Somatic,Cell Hybrids, Somatic,Cell, Hybrid,Cells, Hybrid,Hybrid Cell,Hybrid, Somatic Cell,Hybrids, Somatic Cell,Somatic Cell Hybrid
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. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D000937 Antigen-Antibody Reactions The processes triggered by interactions of ANTIBODIES with their ANTIGENS. Antigen Antibody Reactions,Antigen-Antibody Reaction,Reaction, Antigen-Antibody,Reactions, Antigen-Antibody
