title: Co-expression of Mac-1 and p150,95 on CD5+ B cells. Structural and functional characterization in a human chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
abstract: The leukocyte adhesion receptors (LAR) Mac-1 and p150,95 were thought to occur only on myeloid cells, but recently, mouse Ly-1+ (CD5+) B and pro-B cells were shown to bind M1/70 monoclonal antibody, an anti-Mac-1 antibody. Using immunoprecipitation, sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry, we have studied the expression of LAR in human CD5+ B cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patients. 170,95 kDa Mac-1 and p150,95, as well as 180,95 kDa LFA-1 heterodimers are shown to be co-expressed on CD5+ mu + kappa + B cells from a patient where they retain their known function in homotypic cell-cell adhesion. Therefore, functional Mac-1 and p150,95 LAR are not restricted to myeloid cells.
