A non species specific lymphocyte differentiation antigen is described which can be detected on plaque forming cells and a small fraction of thymocytes of mice and rats. The antigen is absent from a BALB/c plasma cell tumor and is not detectable on Dexamethasone-resistant thymocytes. On the basis of its occurrence the term TPCA (thymus plasma cell antigen) is proposed for the antigen. A monospecific anti TPCA serum could be prepared which enables the detection of the antigen on about 10% of rat thymocytes.
描述了一种非物种特异性淋巴细胞分化抗原，该抗原可在小鼠和大鼠的空斑形成细胞及一小部分胸腺细胞上检测到。BALB/c浆细胞瘤中不存在该抗原，在地塞米松抗性胸腺细胞上也检测不到。根据其出现情况，提议将该抗原命名为TPCA（胸腺浆细胞抗原）。可以制备一种单特异性抗TPCA血清，该血清能够在约10%的大鼠胸腺细胞上检测到该抗原。
