A monoclonal antibody designated 'antibody 390' (Ab 390) with anti-human Thy-1 reactivity was prepared by the hybridoma technique from the splenocytes of BALB/c mice immunized with human fetal brain. This antibody was shown to have anti-human Thy-1 reactivity because (1) it precipitated a molecule with a molecular weight of about 24,000 daltons, (2) it had a pattern of reactivity similar to that of previously described anti-human Thy-1 antibodies and (3) purified human Thy-1 antigen specifically inhibited binding of Ab 390 to a known antigen-positive cell line. It was the intent of this study to investigate the distribution of Thy-1 on normal and malignant haematopoietic cells in humans and non-human primates. We show here that Ab 390 did not react with human peripheral blood leucocytes, bone marrow cells or splenocytes by immunofluorescence but did react with subcapsular and cortical fetal thymocytes by peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistology. A section of fetal spleen demonstrated staining of connective tissue and blood vessels and rare reactive lymphocytes. Adult spleen contained Thy-1-positive cells surrounding the white pulp and in the marginal zone, but single-cell suspensions of splenocytes did not react with Ab 390. Ab 390 was tested against a variety of fresh human leukaemia cells and human cell lines and was shown to react with only the acute lymphoblastic leukaemia T cell lines RPMI 8402 and HPB-MLT. Non-human primate studies revealed reactivity with a number of T cell lines from New World primates (cotton-topped and red-bellied marmosets) and peripheral blood granulocytes (owl monkey). Our studies support previous findings that suggest that human Thy-1 may be a marker for early T lymphocytes in man, and its distribution on non-human primate T cell lines suggests the same for certain species of non-human primates. Not consistent with the distribution on human cells was the demonstration of Ab 390 reactivity with owl monkey granulocytes.
