title: Thy-1 epitopes are expressed on murine myeloid leukemia and reticulum sarcoma cells.
abstract: Expression of Thy-1.2 specificities in cells from 29 primary spontaneous leukemias of random-bred ICR Swiss mice was examined by cell membrane and cytoplasmic immunofluorescence with monoclonal HO-13-4 antibody [1]. The Thy-1.2 epitopes were detected in all thymic lymphomas and were absent in the lymphomas of non-thymic origin. Unexpectedly, the Thy-1.2 epitopes were also detected in 71% (5/7) of myeloid leukemias and 40% (4/10) of reticulum cell sarcomas examined.
