A leukocyte-common (L-C) antigen which can be dominant as an immunogen in rabbit anti-rat thoracic duct lymphocyte serum was purified from rat thymocytes. Initially, an antigenic fragment of 100,000 apparent MW was prepared at 400- to 900-fold purification by lentil lectin affinity chromatography and gel filtration in deoxycholate. Mice were then immunized with this fraction, and a hybrid myeloma cell line secreting antibody to the L-C antigen was prepared by cell fusion. This antibody was used for affinity chromatography and gave pure L-C antigen at 1400-fold purification compared with thymocytes. The L-C antigen is a major membrane glycoprotein of rat thymocytes and has an apparent MW of 150,000 as determined by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels in sodium dodecyl sulfate. The antigen constitutes 1 of the 3 thymocyte glycoproteins which stain intensely for carbohydrate with periodic acid Schiff stain. It is present on > 95% of thymocytes, bone marrow cells and thoracic duct lymphocytes.
