Immunological analysis of a chromosomal antigen specific to human granulocytes.
A chromosomal protein antigen specific for human granulocytes is described. The antigen is present in large amounts in granulocytes and in granulocytic leukaemia. It is absent from HeLa cells, human fibrosarcoma cells and human lymphocytes. It is, however, present in small amounts in other human haemopoietic cell lines. The antigen binds tightly to DNA and requires the presence of DNA to react with the antibody.
