The study of natural killer (NK) has been difficult because they account for a small percentage of peripheral blood and splenic lymphocytes and the paucity of NK specific antigens that have been identified. We have isolated pure populations of C57BL/6 (H-2b) NK cells using the IgG2b monoclonal antibody PK136 (anti-NK1.1). These NK1.1+cells were used to immunize 129/J (H-2b) mice, and in this report, we describe three new NK specific monoclonal antibodies (SW3A4(IgM), SW4B12(IgG1), and SW2B4(IgG2b)) and their relationship to the known murine NK antigen NK1.1. We have further characterized the NK1.1 antigen as a 39 kd molecule which is coded for by a gene which appears to map to chromosome 6.
