Characterization of a new antigen expressed by B and myeloid lineage cells identified by the monoclonal antibody LIP-6.

The LIP-6 MAb was produced against the undifferentiated cell line bh2-1 and recognizes an antigen expressed on all pre-B and B cell lines tested and some myeloid lineage lines. FACS analysis of normal tissues showed that LIP-6 is expressed on B lineage cells at all stages of differentiation, from bone marrow pre-B to plasma cells. T cells and thymocytes are LIP-6-, and splenic CD11b+ cells are heterogeneous for LIP-6 expression. The LIP-6 MAb was shown to precipitate a major 75-kDa and a minor 85-kDa protein under reducing conditions and a large protein of > 240 kDa under nonreducing conditions. Removal of N-linked sugars from the reduced lysates resulted in a single 65-kDa protein, suggesting that there is differential glycosylation of a single 65-kDa protein that forms disulfide-linked multimers. Finally, the LIP-6 antigen was shown not to be linked to the cell surface via a GPI linkage.

Flow cytometric detection of DNA tumor virus nuclear oncogene products in unfixed cells: saponin FACS of viral oncogene products.

Immunofluorescent analysis is a standard method for detecting DNA virus oncoproteins in transformed cells. Here we demonstrate the detection of DNA virus nuclear oncoproteins by flow cytometry of unfixed cells, after saponin permeabilization. This method could to be of value in the evaluation and quantitation of oncogene products in transformed cells.
