| abstractText | A new genetically polymorphic cell surface antigen recognized by a monoclonal rat anti-mouse antibody is expressed on mouse lymphoid cells. Fluorescence analysis on the fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) locates the antigen on thymocytes, lymph node cells, and both T and B cells in the spleen. It also appears on approximately 40% of cells in the bone marrow. Immune precipitations from surface iodinated spleen cells followed by 2-D gel electrophoresis demonstrate that the antigen is a glycoprotein of approximately 100,000 daltons. Since it is expressed in all lymphoid tissues and on both T and B cells, we designate it lymphoid glycoprotein 100 (Lgp100). Strains with Lgp100 include A/J, AKR/J, AKR/Cu, BALB/c, 129/J, CBA/N, C3H/HeJ, CBA/2J, and SJL/J. Strains with no detectable antigen include C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J, C57BR/cdJ, C57L/J, and C58/J. Intercrosses and backcrosses establish a pair of alleles, a positive and a negative one, at a single locus. Heterozygotes display about 50% as much antigen as homozygotes by quantitative membrane immunofluorescence on the FACS. Tests for Lgp100 in 35 recombinant inbred strains from three crosses (CXB, BXB, and BXH) locate this locus on chromosome 1, closely linked to theMls locus. |
