CD45 partially mediates heterotypic adhesion between murine leukemia/lymphoma cell line L5178Y and marrow stromal cells.
We raised mAbs to whole L5178Y leukemia/lymphoma (LL) cells to identify adhesion proteins involved in adherence between LL cells and marrow stromal cells. One mAb, 4C, and its subclones 4C.1 and 4C.2 inhibited adherence of L5178Y LL cells to MLT. a nontransformed murine marrow stromal cell line. These MoAbs are directed against CD45RA. Control anti-CD45 mAbs and isotype mAbs were non-inhibitory. Other anti-CD45 mAbs, M1/9.3, RA3-3A1/6.1 and RA3-2C2/1 do not compete with mAb 4C.1 for binding to the L5178Y cell surface, but mAb 4C.1 competes for binding of mAb RA3-2C2/1. Effects of mAb 4C on tyrosine-phosphatase activity of CD45 in L5178Y cells are minimal, suggesting direct involvement of CD45 as an adhesion protein.
