Abstract:
Using a human activated B cell line 3D5 in immunization of mouse and as targets in screening, a hybridoma producing McAb 5C5 has been established. The antigen recognized by the McAb starts its expression on low dose anti-?-activated B cells at their G_1 phase at the 10th hour. The number of 5C5~+ cells increases with time. At the stimulation of PWM, the number of 5C5~+ cells in PBMNC also increases with time, and peaks on day 3 to 4, then docreases and comes to the background on day 7.5C5 antigen is positive on the B cell lines which can not be induced to differentiate to Ig-secre-ting cells (ISC), but negative on those being able to be driven to differentiate to ISC by BCDF. All the data indicate that 5C5 expresses at the early and mid stages, but disappears at the terminal stage of B cell activation and differentiation. 5C5 antigen does not expresses on resting B cells, resting T cells, PHA-activated T cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and the T cell and myeloid cell lines detected. Electrophoresis under both the nonreducing and reducing state for the ~(125)I-label led antigen immunoprecipi tated with McAb 5C5 shows a single band with a molecular weight of 52000, suggesting that 5C5 be a single chain cell surface protein. Since the MW of 5C5 is different from that of those B cell activation antigens reported in literature, and since ins specific expression on cell lines, 5C5 antigen might be a novel B eel I-restricted activation antigen.
