A heterologous antithymopoietin (anti-TP) antibody was used to determine whether a TP-like molecule is present in the epidermis, since such factors have been postulated to play a part in known T cell-epidermal cell interaction. Examination of cytocentrifuge smears of freshly separated human epidermal cells stained by indirect immunofluorescence revealed that 8–14% of these cells possessed cytoplasmic reactivity with the anti-TP antibody. Similarly, 2–5% of human epidermal cells, maintained in tissue culture for 2-8 weeks, showed cytoplasmic staining with the anti-TP antibody. Double-labeling immunofluorescence studies, with the anti-TP antibody and a monoclonal antibody specifically reactive with Langerhans cells (OKT6), demonstrated that cells possessing this TP-like substance were not Langerhans cells. In situ studies of 4-μm frozen sections of normal human skin indicated that the cell population which possesses the TP-like substance is the basal layer of keratincoytes in the epidermis.
