title: Detection of Thy-1 on cell surface of human T lymphoid cell lines by a monoclonal antibody.
abstract: A mouse IgG2b(kappa) monoclonal antibody (MAb) HB-2S-1 against human brain Thy-1 was secreted by a hybridoma clone after fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse that went through a prolonged immunization procedure before fusion. When tested against isolated human Thy-1 by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), MAb HB-2S-1 in culture supernatant showed a titer of over 100,000, and a titer of over 10 million in ascites of a mouse injected with the hybrid clone. By immunoblotting, this antibody was found to bind a doublet of protein bands of approximately 25,000 daltons among all proteins solubilized by deoxycholate (DOC) from membrane of human brain cells. When tested on human lymphoid cell lines by immunofluorescence, MAb HB-2S-1 strongly stained four T lymphoma cell lines, C91-Pl, HUT-102, HUT-78, and C5-MJ; and weakly two leukemia cell lines, MOLT-3 and Jurkat(clone E6-1). It did not stain a third T leukemia cell line, CCRF-CEM; a human B cell line, Raji; a plasmacytoma cell line, HMy2; or a myelomonocytic cell line, HL-60. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from ten normal human adults and the viable T cells isolated from another normal individual were also negative.
