A mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated as mNI-11, was produced. The reactivity of mNI-11 was assessed by immunofluorescence assay with various cells. Myelomonocytic cell line, U937, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated U937 (LPS-U937 cells) were found to bind strongly to the mAb. EBV-B cell line and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were found to bind moderately to it. This mAb strongly induced homotypic cell aggregation of LPS-U937 cells. The mAbs to CD18 and CD54 completely inhibited the LPS-U937 cell aggregation induced by mNI-11. The surface antigens of the U937 and LPS-U937 cells recognized by mNI-11 had a molecular size of 95-97 kDa as determined by immunoblotting analysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
