Assignment of gene coding for cell surface glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 75,000 to human chromosome 11.

The gene for a cell surface glycoprotein recognized by a mouse monoclonal antibody (Mab 4), has been assigned to human chromosome 11 by the study of mouse-human lymphocyte hybrids. The antigen is present on all human peripheral blood leukocytes, on human fibroblasts, and on human lymphoid and erythroid cell lines, but not on erythrocytes. Immunoprecipitation and polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis of both human cells and mouse-human hybrid clones carrying human chromosome 11 show that the apparent molecular weight of this glycoprotein is 75,000.
