Abstract
A mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb) was generated against swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) class I α chain. A newly developed series of MAb clones that react with pan leukocytes were selected and tested by immuno-histochemistry using SLA class I α chain expressing Cos-7 cells. Among them, MAb 4G8 was characterized by the following features: (1) 4G8 reacted with Cos-7 cells transfected with SLA class I α chain from the d haplotype, (2) 4G8 recognized epitopes that were different from those of commercially available anti-SLA class I MAbs 74-11-10 and PT85A, and (3) 4G8 could be used to immunostain frozen sections of thymus, spleen, lymph node, kidney, and liver tissues with good results.
