A hybridoma clone which secretes a macrophage (M.PHI.)-specific monoclonal antibody, F4/80, was produced by fusing spleen cells from a rat hyperimmunized with cultured thioglycollate-induced mouse peritoneal M.PHI. with a mouse myeloma, NS1. Binding of antibody to primary cells and cell lines was detected by radioimmune indirect binding assay, autoradiography or fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis. F4/80 binds to mouse M.PHI. from the peritoneal cavity or other sources, blood monocytes, M.PHI. derived from bone marrow precursors in culture and M.PHI.-like cell lines, but not to other cells, including polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes or fibroblasts. F4/80 does not bind to M.PHI. via Fc receptors, is not cytotoxic and is of the rat IgG2b subclass. Since F4/80 binds to all M.PHI. defined by adherence, morphology and immune phagocytosis, it provides a new marker to define the M.PHI. in the mouse. Large differences in expression of antigen F4/80 were found, depending on i.p. stimulation, time in culture and stage of maturation. Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated the the antigen F4/80 is part of a component of MW 160,000 which is synthesized by the M.PHI. and, at least in part, exposed on the cell surface.
