Basophils (Ba) and mast cells (MC) are important effector cells of
inflammatory reactions. Both cell types derive from CD34+
hematopoietic progenitors. However, little is known about the cell
subsets that become committed to and give rise to Ba and/or MC. We have
generated a monoclonal antibody (MoAb), 97A6, that specifically detects
human Ba, MC (lung, skin), and their CD34+ progenitors.
Other mature hematopoietic cells (neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes,
lymphocytes, platelets) did not react with MoAb 97A6, and sorting of
97A6+ peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) cells
resulted in an almost pure population (>98%) of Ba. Approximately
1% of CD34+ BM and PB cells was found to be
97A6+. Culture of sorted
CD34+97A6+ BM cells in semisolid medium
containing phytohemagglutinin-stimulated leukocyte
supernatant for 16 days (multilineage assay) resulted in the formation
of pure Ba colonies (10 of 40), Ba-eosinophil colonies (7 of 40),
Ba-macrophage colonies (3 of 40), and multilineage Ba-eosinophil-macrophage and/or neutrophil colonies (12 of 40). In
contrast, no Ba could be cultured from
CD34+97A6 cells. Liquid culture of
CD34+ PB cells in the presence of 100 ng/mL interleukin
(IL)-3 (Ba progenitor assay) resulted in an increase of
97A6+ cells, starting from 1% of day-0 cells to almost
70% (basophils) after day 7. Culture of sorted BM
CD34+97A6+ cells in the presence of 100 ng/mL stem cell factor (SCF) for 35 days (mast cell progenitor assay)
resulted in the growth of MC (>30% on day 35). Anti-IgE-induced IgE
receptor cross-linking on Ba for 15 minutes resulted in a 4-fold to
5-fold upregulation of 97A6 antigen expression. These data show that
the 97A6-reactive antigen plays a role in basophil activation and is
expressed on multipotent CD34+ progenitors, MC
progenitors, Ba progenitors, as well as on mature Ba and tissue MC. The
lineage-specificity of MoAb 97A6 suggests that this novel marker may be
a useful tool to isolate and analyze Ba/MC and their progenitors.
