Expression of differentiation and age-related antigens on chicken erythroleukemia cells transformed by avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV)
Immature circulating chicken red cells express on their surface two antigenic molecules referred to as Im 48 kD and Im 140 kD antigens. The Im 140 kD antigen is not present beyond the erythroblast stage while the expression of Im 48 kD antigenic molecule remains detectable on circulating erythrocyte...

Zusammenfassung: | Immature circulating chicken red cells express on their surface two antigenic molecules referred to as Im 48 kD and Im 140 kD antigens. The Im 140 kD antigen is not present beyond the erythroblast stage while the expression of Im 48 kD antigenic molecule remains detectable on circulating erythrocytes of embryos and young chickens, but not on erythrocytes of adult animals. In addition to Im 48 kD and Im 140 kD antigens, the avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV)-transformed erythroid cells express two novel high molecular weight (MW) immature antigens referred to as Im 150 kD and Im 160 kD. Since the transformed erythroid cells are apparently blocked at a stage close to the colony-forming units erythrocytic (CFU-E), these molecules might be expressed on these progenitor cells. The age-related antigenic molecules referred to as E
1 48 kD and A 40 kD/A 85 kD antigens are detected on erythrocytes of embryos (and young chickens) and adult animals respectively. The E
1 48 kD antigen as well as an antigen related to the A 40 kD were also detected on AEV-transformed erythroid cells deriving from both young chicken bone marrow and yolk sac. The presence of an adult antigen on the embryonic cells might well be related to the transformation by AEV, since the yolk sac CFU-E progenitor cells do not bear the adult antigenicity. |
