A member of the family of beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m)-associated cell surface glycoproteins was identified by the CB3 monoclonal antibody. The Mr 50,000 heavy chain of the CB3 antigen differs from conventional class I heavy chains (Mr 45,000) in the extent of glycosylation, charge, and peptide composition. Because of its selective expression on avian B cells and its similarity to mammalian class I-like molecules, we speculate that the CB3 antigen may play a role in T- and B-cell interactions,
通过CB3单克隆抗体鉴定出一种与β2-微球蛋白(β2m)相关的细胞表面糖蛋白家族成员。CB3抗原的50,000道尔顿重链在糖基化程度、电荷和肽组成方面与传统的I类重链(45,000道尔顿)不同。由于其在禽类B细胞上的选择性表达以及与哺乳动物I类样分子的相似性,我们推测CB3抗原可能在T细胞和B细胞相互作用中发挥作用。
