A monoclonal antibody (McAb) designated 3A2 that recognizes a 51 kDa epitope having surface density of 37 x 10(8) per MOLT-4 cells is described. This epitope appears to be expressed on (i) lymphocytes at all stages of differentiation; (ii) leukemic myeloid progenitors; (iii) peripheral blood monocytes (MO). The epitope is specifically absent from normal myeloid progenitors and macrophages. The McAb may, therefore, be useful in studying myeloid lineage leukemias and, as a marker for monocyte to macrophage (MO + MAC) differentiation.
描述了一种名为3A2的单克隆抗体(McAb),它能识别一个51 kDa的表位,该表位在每MOLT-4细胞上的表面密度为37×10⁸。这个表位似乎在以下细胞上表达:(i)分化各阶段的淋巴细胞;(ii)白血病髓系祖细胞;(iii)外周血单核细胞(MO)。正常髓系祖细胞和巨噬细胞中则特异性缺乏该表位。因此,这种单克隆抗体可能有助于研究髓系白血病,并可作为单核细胞向巨噬细胞(MO + MAC)分化的标志物。
