A new human cell surface antigen (Hu Ly-m5) detected by a murine monoclonal antibody (E4.3) is described. The tissue distribution of the Hu Ly-m5 antigen is similar to the HLA antigens, but it is not present on all bone marrow cells nor the [human] U266 myeloma cell line, and is expressed on the HLA-negative K562 [human leukemia] cell line. The Hu Ly-m5 antigen has some affinity for HLA molecules as the 2 entities cocap and the Hu Ly-m5 antigen copurifies with the HLA antigens on an anti-.beta.2-microglobulin immunoabsorbent column; the antien complexes did not withstand the procedures used for coprecipitation. Despite their similarities, the Hu Ly-m5 and HLA antigens are distinct molecular entities, Hu Ly-m5 consists of 2 bands of apparent MW 69 and 60 K [kilodaltons] while HLA is comprised of the 43 and 12 K bands of the HLA H chain and .beta.2-microglobulin, respectively. The function of the Hu Ly-m5 antigen is unknown, but no involvement in the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response to influenza virus-infected cells could be demonstrated. The 2 properties described (apparent MW and physical association with the HLA antigens) suggests that the Hu Ly-m5 antigen may be a viral-encoded protein.
