Abstrakt: A monoclonal antibody, designated 10F3, that reacts with an antigen of molecular mass 90,000 Da has been developed by immunization of BALB/c mice with smooth muscle cells in long-term culture. The cells were originally isolated from fetal human aorta. The 10F3 was identified as an antibody that reacts with the ICAM-1 molecule. ICAM-1 is a mesenchymal antigen that is lost during differentiation of cells other than endothelium but is reexpressed by the intimal cells of vessels involved in atherogenesis.
