Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a new antigen termed BLA-35 specifically expressed on the surface of Hodgkin's cells, Reed-Sternberg cells and B lymphocytes, and to a new monoclonal antibody (anti-BLA-36) specific thereto. The antigen is characterized by the following properties: a molecular weight of about 36,000 D; the presence of an epitope recognized by antibody to said protein; specific expression by Hodgkin's cells and Reed-Sternberg cells in all subsets of Hodgkin's disease, and by activated and early proliferating B cells; no expression by T cells; capability of reacting with its antibody in both frozen and fixed/paraffin embedded tissues; a function associated with the growth of cells capable to express said antigen protein.
