Abstract
From mice immunized with T lymphocyte-enriched bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), a monoclonal antibody termed BLMo-12 was obtained. BLMo-12 reacted with the antigen of Mr 56,000 in lysate of T lymphocytes. This mAb was found to inhibit spontaneous rosette formation by T-bovine lymphocytes with sheep red blood cells but it did not react with B lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils or eosinophils. In frozen section of the thymus, BLMo-12 showed a positive staining both the cortex and the medulla. In lymph nodes, the mAb stained the T-dependent paracortex. BLMo-12 reacted with 49.9% of PBMC and 82.5% of thymocytes. Recognition of the bovine homologue of CD2 on the T lymphocyte surface by this mAb was discussed.
