Abstract

Three monoclonal antibodies have been made to identify cells of the human mononuclear phagocyte system in fluids and tissues. The first, PHM 1, recognises a surface antigen common to all leucocytes. The other 2 antibodies, PHM 2 and PHM 3, bind to monocytes and macrophages but not to polymorphonuclear cells (PMN). PHM 2 labels all monocytes, macrophages and a small population of T-cells. PHM 3 labels most monocytes and macrophages but no other blood cells. The application of these monoclonal antibodies to the identification of mononuclear phagocytes in blood and liver using an unlabelled antibody immunoperoxidase (PAP) technique is demonstrated.
