We have characterized a monoclonal antibody (AT389), produced by immunization of mice with 4-day old avian Concanavalin A blasts, which recognizes a 38-40 kDa homodimer present on the surface of all chicken T cells. AT389 increased the spontaneous and IL-2-driven proliferation or 3-day-old T-cell blasts. This antibody, in synergy with IL-2, increased cellular proliferation and cell survival of T-cell blasts over time. Together, these data suggest that AT389 recognizes a surface protein on avian T cells which may be related to known stimulatory surface markers on mammalian T cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
