L3T4 (CD4) is expressed on immature hematopoietic cells. Sorting bone marrow cells on the basis of their expression of this antigen produces populations of cells that are markedly enriched for multipotential stem cells (CFU-s) and for myeloid precursors (CFU-c). We believe that L3T4 is transiently expressed by most, if not all, hematopoietic precursors early in their maturation. We suggest that the expression of CD4 molecules on the surface of immature precursors is required for their interaction with Ia bearing cells within the hemopoietic inductive microenvironment(s) of the marrow and thymus.
L3T4(CD4)在未成熟造血细胞上表达。根据该抗原的表达对骨髓细胞进行分选,可产生明显富含多能干细胞(CFU-s)和髓系前体细胞(CFU-c)的细胞群体。我们认为,大多数(如果不是全部)造血前体细胞在其成熟早期会短暂表达L3T4。我们提出,未成熟前体细胞表面CD4分子的表达是其与骨髓和胸腺造血诱导微环境中携带Ia的细胞相互作用所必需的。
