摘要:
Rat monoclonal antibodies with reactivity directed against mouse GMG cells have been produced. One of the antibodies (GMG-1) reacts with a surface antigen of GMG cells and cross-reacts with T lymphocytes. Another (GMG-2) reacts with an intracellular antigen in GMG cells and with asialo-GM1 positive cells in the spleen. Three antibodies (GMG-3, -4, -5) bind to intracellular antigens in GMG cells. The cross-reactivity of these antibodies is discussed with reference to the lineage relationship of GMG cells to NK cells and T cells and the recent suggestion that NK cells and T cells have a common progenitor cell. It is proposed that GMG cells share this common progenitor cell but are otherwise independent of the NK or T cell lineages.
