Expression of Lyt-1 antigen on certain murine B cell lymphomas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although the Lyt-1 antigen has previously been considered a T cell-specific marker, recent evidence suggests that a population of Thy-1-, Lyt-1+ cells exists in normal lymphoid tissues. In this study, we have observed that the WEHI-55, WEHI-259, and CH5 B cell lymphomas express high levels of the Lyt-1 antigen, as detected by monoclonal antibodies using the fluorescence activated cell sorter. Three other B cell lymphomas of the 11 examined also gave weak but detectable reactions with the anti Lyt-1 monoclonal antibody. Except for the expression of the Lyt-1 antigen, these lymphomas are typical of cells in the B cell lineage with respect to surface phenotype. The Lyt-1 glycoprotein immunoprecipitated from metabolically labeled WEHI-55 cells is similar in structure to the Lyt-1 glycoprotein on thymocytes. These findings are similar to recent reports that B-type human lymphocytic leukemia cells express the putative human homologue of Lyt-1, the Leu-1 antigen.

Analysis of a Series of Murine B Cell Lymphomas on Expression of T Cell Antigens Surface
The Lyt-1, Lyt-2, and Lyt-3 antigens, as originally defined by alloantisera, are expressed exclusively on T lymphocytes (1). Functional analysis of cells expressing these antigens has suggested that Lyt-1 is associated with helper/amplifier T cells, whereas Lyt-2 and Lyt-3 are markers of cytotoxic and suppressor T lymphocytes (1). Several recent findings suggest, however, that the situation may...
متن کاملBovine Leukaemia Virus onco-protein Tax antigen identification in human lymphomas tissue
Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is the primary cause of enzootic bovine leukaemia which belongs to the HTLV/BLV group of oncogenic retroviruses including Human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1, 2, and 3 and simian T-lymphotropic virus. Due to daily consumption of milk, meat and other dairy by-products, a possible role in appearing human cancers can be assumed for BLV. Materials and Metho...

Considering the emerging importance of phenotypic markers as indicators of cell function and differentiation, we studied patterns ofCD44 and CD45RB expression in CD8+ murine T cells with prior exposure to antigen or staphylococcal enterotoxin B ( SEB ). Following in vivo priming with two purified protein derivatives (one from a virulent WHO strain and the other from an avirulent strain), T ...
متن کاملInvolvement of Lyt-2 and L3T4 in activation of hapten-specific Lyt-2+ L3T4+ T-cell clones.
The murine T-cell surface molecules Lyt-2 and L3T4 play a role in the activation of antigen-specific T cells. The currently accepted model for the function of these molecules proposes that Lyt-2 and L3T4 increase the overall avidity of the interaction between the T-cell antigen receptor and antigen in association with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the antigen-presentin...

The relationship between the functional capacity of T cell subsets and the differentiation antigens on their cell surfaces has been the subject of many recent studies in mice and humans. Swain and colleagues (1-3) provided evidence that murine T cells that respond to class I (H-2K and H-2D) major histocompatibility complex (MHC) a antigens express high levels of Lyt-2 antigen. This was observed...
