title: Inhibition of H-Y cell-mediated cytolysis by monoclonal H-Y specific antibody.
abstract: Assays of H-Y specific, cell-mediated cytolysis (CMC) in vitro were carried out with B6 female effector cells and B6 male target cells. Monoclonal H-Y antibody was added to the lytic assay to test whether the antigenic determinant(s) involved in H-Y-specific CMC was distinct from the serologically detected H-Y antigen. Significant blocking was observed, suggesting that the H-Y antigen detectable serologically is similar to H-Y antigen recognized by cytotoxic T cells.
