title: Complement C3d,g/Epstein-Barr virus receptor density on human B-lymphocytes estimated by immunoenzymatic assay and immunocytochemistry.
abstract: The density of the C3d,g/Epstein-Barr virus receptor (CR2) on human mononuclear cells (MNC) isolated from CPD stabilized blood, was determined by comparing the concentration of CR2 antigen in extracts from Raji cells, with a known receptor density, with extracts of MNC. The concentration of CR2 was determined by a sandwich ELISA using two mutually non-inhibiting monoclonal anti CR2 antibodies (HB5 and OKB7). The percentage of CR2+ MNC was determined by an immunocytochemical staining method. Analysis of MNC from 20 healthy donors, revealed that the density of CR2 molecules varied from 3,600-7,700 on CR2+ cells, and that the percentage of CR2+ MNC had a mean of 13%.
