Abstract
The CDw50 differentiation antigen is defined by 101-1D2 and 140-11 monoclonal antibodies (mAb), both produced and characterized in our laboratory. This molecule is broadly expressed on hematopoetic cells but not on other cells. In this report we show that these 2 mAb recognize different epitopes of the same molecule, which are resistant to neuraminidase and proteases. We also demonstrate that the CDw50 antigen is expressed on thymocytes and T lymphocytes as an N-glycosylated glycoprotein monomer with a relative molecular weight (Mr) of 130,000 daltons with intrachain disulfide bonds, and that this molecule is resistant to treatment with phosphatidylinositol (PI) phospholipase C and therefore probably not PI-anchored to the membrane. CDw50 is a poorly or non-constitutively phosphorylated molecule that becomes phosphorylated by treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The addition of affinity-purified CDw50 mAb inhibits primary mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) but not secondary MLC, cytotoxicity or proliferation induced by mitogens. The inhibition of alloreactivity is mediated at the level of both responding and stimulator cells.Keywords
