Popis: | A novel surface membrane nonglycosylated acidic polypeptide (34 kDa), encoded by a structural gene on chromosome 11, has been identified using murine monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 53.6 (lgG2a). MoAb 53.6, raised against uninduced cells of a human erythroleukemia line (HEL), recognizes a surface membrane antigen that is displayed on proliferating (cell cycle phase G., S, and M + G2 phase) human leukocytes. The expression and redistribution (i.e., patching and capping) of the p34 kDa antigen on 27 different long-term human hematopoietic cell (HHC) lines was defined by fluorescence microscopy. These lines had been established from patients with leukemia or healthy donors and included phenotypically defined populations of T cells, B cells, and myelomonocytic cells. Almost all (>95%) of the leukocytes of the 27 lines reacted strongly with MoAb 53.6. The majority of the leukocytes displayed p34 kDa antigen patching (26/27 lines; patched cells, 96–100%); moreover, 20 of 27 lines exhibited p34 kDa antigen capping (capped cells, 8–96%). Presentation of the p34 kDa antigen on surface membrane ultrastructures, imaged with immunogold using an indirect antibody labeling procedure, was illustrated by scanning electron microscopy, and endocytosis of the gold-tagged antigen-antibody complex was studied by transmission electron microscopy. The HHC lines are thought to represent immortalized populations of different human leukocyte subsets that are in different stages of maturation and/or differentiation; thus these lines should prove useful as models for further characterizing this unique p34 kDa proliferation-associated antigen and for defining the mechanisms and significance of surface membrane antigen redistribution and modulation that has been associated with leukocyte activation and propagation. |
