The ly-5 system of alloantigens was reevaluated with the aid of an Ly-5 congenic mouse strain and an additional serological technique, the PA-SRBC [staphylococcal protein A-sheep red blood cells] rosette assay, not previously applied to Ly-5. In the PA-SRBC assay, SRBC to which PA was coupled react with antibody-coated cells to form rosettes. The PA-SRBC assay was more sensitive than the cytotoxicity assay in detecting Ly-5 on all cell types tested, with the exception of thymocytes, on which Ly-5 was more efficiently demonstrable by the latter test. Use of both assays gave a more complete picture of the Ly-5 system. Evidently, Ly-5 is expressed on most cells of the hematopoietic lineage, but on no other cells so far tested. The Ly-5+ cell population includes all known sets of T [thymus-derived] cells, prothymocytes, sets of B [bone marrow-derived] cells, cells of myeloid and monocyte-macrophage types and natural killer cells. Erythrocytes and proerythroblasts are Ly-5-, but the Ly-5 phenotype of less differentiated erythrocytic cells is uncertain. By radiation chimeras, made by restoring lethally irradiated mice with Ly-5 congenic bone marrow, the weakly Ly-5+ phenotype of liver and of kidney was due to immigrant circulating cells. Ly-5 phenotypes of tumors conform to this scheme of Ly-5 tissue representation. The Ly-5+ tumors included more than 40 leukemias tested, plasmacytomas, putative transformed equivalents of sIg- [surface immunoglobulin negative]:Lyb-2+ early B cells, a mastocytoma, a monocytic line and 3 lines related to the macrophage. Other tumors tested, a sarcoma, a spontaneous mammary carcinoma, a teratocarcinoma and a neuroblastoma, were Ly-5-.
