Study of a monoclonal antibody specific to epithelial cells of mammalian thymuses
Hybridomas between spleen cells from BALB/c mice and Sp2/O-Ag14 mycloma cell line are performed by PEG fusion. An in vitro booster is realized with human thymic reticulo-epithelial cell cultures as antigen. A monoclonal antibody (3H9) directed against the thymic epithelium and stratified epithelia of mammals has been obtained and characterized.
