Monoclonal antibody recognizing a surface molecule on a subset of antigen-stimulated T cells and on certain malignancies of T and B cell origin
First Claim
1. A purified antibody which specifically binds the same antigen as the monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma cell line designated 10D2F6 having ATCC Accession No. HB 11103, wherein the purified antibody binds an antigen which exists on an IL-6 dependent B-cell lymphoma cell line designated DS-1 having ATCC Accession No. CRL 11102 wherein the purified antibody also specifically binds an antigen on antigen-stimulated T cells, but not on non-stimulated T cells.

Abstract
This invention provides an IL-6 dependent B-cell lymphoma cell line designated DS-1 deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, wherein the cell line is reactive with a monoclonal antibody produced by a hybridoma cell line designated 10D2F6 deposited with the American Type Culture Collection. The invention also provides a purified antigen reactive with a monoclonal antibody produced by 10D2F6. The antigen also exists on DS-1. Also provided is a method of detecting the presence of an antigen-stimulated T-cell comprising detecting the presence of the antigen on a lymphocyte. In addition, the invention provides a method of detecting the presence of a neoplastic cell comprising detecting the presence of the antigen on a cell which is not normal a T-cell.
