We report a novel human thymocyte differentiation antigen ICT-1 with a molecular weight of 49 kDa that is noncovalently associated with another 12-kDa protein. The ICT-1 antigen is expressed in 50-70% of total thymocytes, but not in resting or PHA-activated peripheral blood T-cells and bone marrow cells. The thymocytes expressing ICT-1 antigen appear after the 18th week of gestation during fetal development. Since the distribution pattern of the ICT-1 antigen within thymus partly overlaps with that of the CD1 antigens, we investigated whether ICT-1 was one of the CD1 antigen family. However, the failure of anti-ICT-1 antibody to react with mouse L cells transfected with cDNA of CD1a, -b, and -c and the different histologic distribution patterns from that of CD1d strongly suggest that the anti-ICT-1 antibody recognizes an antigen distinct from CD1. Furthermore, ICT-1 is also expressed in human neuroglial cells such as oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma multiforme, Ewing's sarcoma, and cerebellar astrocyte. Hence we believe that the ICT-1 antigen may be a novel thymus-leukemia (TL) antigen or a nonclassical MHC class I antigen.

D009457 Neuroglia The non-neuronal cells of the nervous system. They not only provide physical support, but also respond to injury, regulate the ionic and chemical composition of the extracellular milieu, participate in the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER and BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER, form the myelin insulation of nervous pathways, guide neuronal migration during development, and exchange metabolites with neurons. Neuroglia have high-affinity transmitter uptake systems, voltage-dependent and transmitter-gated ion channels, and can release transmitters, but their role in signaling (as in many other functions) is unclear.
