Abstract

Spleen cells from a (BALB/c x C57BL/6)F1 mouse immunized with CBA/J spleen cells were fused with the myeloma cell line NS-1. One of the six established hybrid cell lines continuously secreted antibody that recognized a new antigenic specificity, tentatively called "Ly-10.1". This newly found antigen is expressed on thymocytes, on splenic T and B cells, on bone-marrow cells, and on the cells derived from brain, kidney and liver. It is also expressed on a continuous cell line, 416B, with stem-cell characteristics. The unique tissue distribution and, furthermore, a distinct strain distribution pattern distinguishes Ly-10.1 from any known murine lymphocyte alloantigen. On the basis of reactivity with cells of the C57BL/6-Lyt-1a congenic strain, one gene governing Ly-10 expression is assigned to the Lyt-1 region of chromosome 19.
