title: Identification and characterization of 114/A10, an antigen highly expressed on the surface of murine myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells and IL-3-dependent cell lines.
abstract: Monoclonal antibody (mAb) 114/A10, raised against the murine bone marrow-derived multipotential hemopoietic progenitor cell line B6SUtA, identifies an antigen highly expressed by various interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent cell lines, the myelomonocytic cell line WEHI-3, and a large proportion of primary myeloid and erythroid colony-forming cells. Spleen- and bone marrow-derived 114/A10-positive cells were shown to selectively proliferate in vitro in response to pokeweed mitogen-stimulated spleen cell-conditioned medium or recombinant IL-3. Western blot analysis indicated that the antigen recognized by mAb 114/A10 has a mean relative molecular mass of approximately 150,000, although it is extremely heterogeneous in nature, and differs greatly in size range among different cell lines.
