Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reacting with bovine (2) ovine (3), murine (1) or human (1) Class II MHC antigens were examined for reactivity with bovine peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) and lymph node cells (LNC) by immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation and the capacity to inhibit mixed lymphocyte responses (MLR), lectin- and antigen-induced blastogenesis. The 6 MAbs identified comparable percentages of Class II positive lymphocytes in PBL (40.8 to 54.2%) and LNC (6 to 11.5%) regardless of BoLA-A phenotype. Immunohistological staining of Class II MAb was localized principally to the lymphoid follicles in lymph nodes and to isolated epithelial reticular cells in the thymus. The anti-Class II MAb immunoprecipitated alpha- and beta- chains of 26-29K and 32-34K, respectively. These MAb inhibited proliferative responses in the MLR by between 25 and 74%, and diminished blastogenesis induced by specific antigens (purified protein derivative + PPD and ovalbumin) and B-lymphocyte mitogens (PPD, lipopolysaccharide and dextran sulphate) by between 45 and 75%, regardless of BoLA-A phenotype. In contrast, proliferation in response to concanavalin A and phytohaemagglutinin were unaffected by the anti- Class II MAb. Similarly these MAb did not affect lysis by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, the activity of which was depressed by anti-Class I MAbs and monospecific alloantisera.
