The Lyb-2 system of alloantigens (Sato and Boyse 1976) is determined by g locus on chromosome 4 (Sato et al. 1977, Taylor and Shen 1977) which has three alleles, one each for antigens Lyb-2.1,-2.2, and-2.3, and a presumed fourth allele represented solely by mouse strain STS/A which expresses none of the three Lyb-2 alloantigens so far identified (Shen et al. 1977).There has been no dispute that expression of Lyb-2 is confined to the B-cell lineage, but the evidence concerning expression of Lyb-2 on hemolytic plaqueforming cells (PFC) is conflicting. Absence of Lyb-2.2 from BALB plasmacytomas suggests that the Lyb-2 phenotype of PFC is negative, yet there are several published and unpublished observations that cytolysis with Lyb-2 antiserum and complement eliminates PFC, albeit partially and inconsistently. We hoped to resolve this problem by using congenic mice as donors of PFC, but results of immune-cytolytic elimination tests with Lyb-2.1 antiserum and complement were confused because of reduction of PFC both from the congenic (B6-Lyb-2.1) and from the partner (B6) mouse strains, doubtless by contaminant antibody that has been neither defined nor much in evidence in cytotoxicity assays. Fortunately the question has now been settled by use of a monoclonal Lyb-2.1 antibody which indicates decisively that PFC are Lyb-2, B6 mice (Lyb-2.2) and B6-Lyb-2.1 congenic mice (N= 8; allele donor I/St) were obtained from colonies maintained at Sloan-Kettering Institute. For the production of monoclonal Lyb-2.1 antibody, spleen cells from BALB/c mice (Lyb-2.2) immunized with DBA/2 spleen cells (Lyb-2.1) were fused with P3/NSI/1-Ag4-1 according to K6hler and Milstein (1975), yielding a clone (9-6.1) producing antibody against Lyb-2.1. Specificity for Lyb-2.1 was established by strain distribution, including the critical distinction of B6 (Lyb-2.2) from the congenic B6-Lyb-2.1 strain which was derived by typing with conventional Lyb-2.1 antiserum. Absorption analysis, indicative of restriction to B cells, also conformed to findings with conventional Lyb-2.1 antiserum (Sato and Boyse 1976).
