A human leukocyte antigen identified by a monoclonal antibody. 1981

A E Berger, and J E Davis, and P Cresswell

Leukocyte antigens of approximate molecular weight 200,000 daltons have been described in mouse, rat, and man. We describe here the reactivities of a monoclonal antibody, GAP 8.3, which identified such an antigen on human leukocytes. We found the leukocyte antigen H-T200 on T and B lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, and platelets, but not on erythrocytes or nonhematopoetically derived cells. Resting and activated T cells had more antigen on their surfaces than did resting B lymphocytes and EBV-transformed B cells, respectively. The leukocyte antigen was detected on approximately 75% of bone marrow cells; cells of the erythroid series comprised the negative population. The GAP 8.3 antibody and its F(ab')2 fragments had no effect on in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood cells by mitogens or allogeneic cells. Antigen isolated from T cell lines had a higher electrophoretic mobility than did antigen from B cell lines; antigen from the myeloid line U937 comigrated with that from B cell lines. In addition, we detected very small but reproducible differences in the electrophoretic mobility of the antigen on two T cell lines.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.

D006098 Granulocytes Leukocytes with abundant granules in the cytoplasm. They are divided into three groups according to the staining properties of the granules: neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic. Mature granulocytes are the NEUTROPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and BASOPHILS. Granulocyte
