Hamster pancreas acinar cell post-differentiation antigen detected by murine monoclonal antibody.
For identification of hamster acinar cells, murine monoclonal antibodies to dispersed adult hamster acinar cells were developed. One of these, Ham-Acl, with strong affinity for a membrane-associated adult acinar cell antigen, was purified by HPLC, isotyped as IgG1 and used for the characterization of a species-specific, immunoprecipitable post-differentiation antigen on adult acinar cells. This antigen of 98 kDa was identified on paraffin sections of adult hamster acinar cells by an indirect immunofluorescence technique. It was undetectable in fetal hamster pancreas, but was present on 2-week-old and older hamster acinar cells.
