It has recently been shown that monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 97A6
detects a surface antigen expressed on basophils and their CD34+ precursor cells, as well as the basophil cell line
KU-812. In this report the partial amino acid sequence of affinity
chromatography- and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis-separated 97A6 antigen(s) from KU-812 lysates was
determined. Sequence alignment of high-performance liquid
chromatography-selected tryptic peptides from the resulting 130- and
150-kd bands revealed a 100% identity with amino acids 393 to 405 of
ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-3 (E-NPP3; CD203c) but
not of the related ectoenzyme PC-1 (E-NPP1). Moreover, MoAb 97A6
selectively recognized 293 cells transfected with human E-NPP3, but did
not react with cells transfected with PC-1 or parental 293 cells. In
addition, E-NPP3 messenger RNA expression was detected in basophils but
not other peripheral blood cells. Finally, MoAb 97A6 immunoprecipitated
phosphodiesterase activity from KU-812 cells and peripheral blood
basophils, but not from other cell populations. These data demonstrate
that MoAb 97A6 recognizes the functionally active type II
transmembrane ectoenzyme E-NPP3.
