Molecular weight determination of two genetically linked cell surface murine antigens: ThB and Ly-6.
Various murine tumor lines were screened by FACS analysis for the surface antigens ThB and Ly-6.2. Positive cell lines were used for immunoprecipitation studies. A monoclonal ThB-specific antibody immunoprecipitated a unique acidic protein of approximately 16 000 daltons from several positive tumors and from concanavalin A (Con-A) and LPS activated splenic lymphocytes. Monoclonal Ly-6.2-specific antibody was used to immunoprecipitate a 33 500 dalton protein that was shown to exist in four similarly sized forms with different basic charges. In the course of these studies, the apparent molecular weight of the surface antigen T 30, immunoprecipitated with a monoclonal T 30-specific antibody from the cell line EL4, was found to be approximately 25 000 daltons.
