Detection of 6 specific monocyte antigens MoP-1 to MoP-6.
Using 36 monocyte samples, an assay was performed with 42 antimonocyte sera, by means of a micromonocytotoxic test, the results of which were evaluated statistically through computation of the correlation coefficient r 6 specific monocyte antigens were detected and labelled MoP-1 to MoP-6, their frequencies varying from 5.58% to 41.67%. These antigens belong probably to one single system. Among the individual samples of monocytes no more than 2 of these antigens could be demonstrated per sample, in 11 of the 36 no antigen could be revealed at all. The difficulties of these studies are pointed out, they are due mainly to the instability of antimonocyte sera which often lose their activity during storage in a frozen state.
