Endothelial monocyte antigens in man.

P Stastny

    Transplantation Proceedings
    |December 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers identified novel endothelial monocyte antigens, distinct from HLA-DR, potentially linked to beta2-microglobulin. These antigens are specific to monocytes and endothelial cells, offering new insights into immune cell markers.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Ongoing studies focus on antigens expressed in endothelial cells and monocytes.
    • These antigens are not detectable in T or B lymphocytes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize a novel group of antigens found on endothelial cells and monocytes.
    • To determine the relationship of these antigens to known cell surface markers like HLA-DR and beta2-microglobulin.

    Main Methods:

    • Antibody absorption assays using platelets, B lymphocytes, monocytes, and endothelial cells.
    • Lysis assays following stripping with anti-human beta2-microglobulin antibodies.
    • Family studies to investigate genetic linkage with HLA.

    Main Results:

    • Antibodies against these antigens were absorbed by monocytes and endothelial cells, but not by platelets or B lymphocytes.
    • Endothelial cells and monocytes became resistant to lysis after beta2-microglobulin stripping, suggesting antigen association.
    • Most monocyte-specific reactions segregated with the HLA locus in family studies.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel set of endothelial monocyte antigens associated with beta2-microglobulin has been identified.
    • These antigens are distinct from HLA-DR.
    • The findings suggest a genetic basis for some monocyte-specific antigens linked to the HLA system.
