Human alveolar macrophages express Ia-like antigens
W Hocking, R Billing, K Foon and D Golde
Monoclonal antibody to la-like antigens was used to demonstrate the
presence of these antigens on human alveolar macrophages.
Immunoprecipitation demonstrated the 27,000 and 34,000 molecular weight
peaks that correspond to the la-like antigen subunits. Immunofluorescence
confirmed the presence of la-like antigens on alveolar macrophages but not
on other bronchoalveolar cells. The presence of alveolar macrophage la-like
antigens may be important in cellular interactions.
