We describe a monoclonal antibody that reacts with human B-lymphoid cells.
We have characterized the reactions of this antibody on normal blood
lymphocytes, with and without pokeweed mitogen stimulation, bone marrow
lymphocytes, and on frozen sections of normal lymph nodes. The antibody,
B532, appears to recognize an activation antigen on human B cells. This
activation antigen can apparently be induced both by infection with
Epstein-Barr virus and by stimulation with antigens and mitogens, but it is
lost on plasma cells. In normal lymph nodes, the antigen is confined to
germinal center cells and some of the cells of the "mantle" that surrounds
germinal centers. The antigen is not present on T cells.
