Derivation
|
Animals were immunized with C57BL/6 mouse liver derived large granular lymphocytes in the presence of rat antiserum against NK cell depleted C57BL/6 mouse spleen cells. Spleen cells were fused with NS-1 myeloma cells.

Comments
|
Animals were immunized with C57BL/6 mouse liver derived large granular lymphocytes in the presence of rat antiserum against NK cell depleted C57BL/6 mouse spleen cells. Spleen cells were fused with NS-1 myeloma cells. The antibody detects a major (approximately 50%) subset of mouse NK cells. This subset (LGL-1+/NK-1.1+) functions in NK type lysis, but lacks LAK (lymphokine activated killing) activity against P815 and L5178Y tumor target cells. The antigen recognized by 4D11 appears to be nonpolymorphic, and is present in all mouse strains tested.
