Correspondence of the monocyte antigen HMA-1 to the non-HLA antigen 9a. 1986

M J Jager, and F H Claas, and M Witvliet, and J J van Rood

Monocyte-specific antibodies are detrimental to bone marrow and renal transplantation. By using human antimonocyte sera we were able to identify two monocyte-specific antigens, human monocyte antigen 1 and 2 (HMA-1 and HMA-2). The presence of HMA-1 and HMA-2 was compared with the presence of several non-HLA antigens. In panel and inhibition studies, HMA-1 corresponded to the previously described non-HLA granulocyte antigen 9a. Absorption studies showed that HMA-1 and 9a were both present on granulocytes and monocytes. The clinical relevance of these antigens is discussed.

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
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.
