The murine monoclonal antibody 7.2, specific for a framework determinant of human Ia antigens, cross-reacts with canine cell membranes recognizing a bimolecular complex (29,000 and 34,000 daltons) similar to that described in man. We investigated the distribution of these Ia-like antigens on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood, thoracic-duct lymph, marrow, alveolar lavage fluids, lymph nodes, and thymuses from normal dogs. By complement-mediated cytotoxicity and indirect immunofluorescence, virtually all lymphocytes expressing surface immunoglobulin (B lymphocytes), monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, and many thymus-epithelial cells were Ia-positive. Furthermore, most non-B-lymphocytes in peripheral blood, thoracic-duct lymph, and lymph nodes expressed Ia antigens. Alveolar (T) lymphocytes and most thymocytes were Ia-negative. Generally, fluorescence intensity was higher on monocytes/macrophages and B lymphocytes than on non-B-lymphocytes. In mixed leukocyte cultures and concanavalin A-induced blastogenesis assays, treatment of responder cells with antibody 7.2 and complement abolished proliferation. Proliferative responses could not be restored by adding untreated accessory cells, indicating that cytolytic treatment had eliminated responder T-lymphocytes. However, addition of antibody alone to cultures had no significant effect. These studies indicate that most mature canine T-lymphocytes express Ia-like antigens. Whether this is an intrinsic property of canine cells or possibly related to continuous in vivo stimulation remains to be determined.
