Description
|
Anti-mouse neutrophils (GM3.2) monoclonal antibody defines a unique mouse neutrophil cell surface antigen named GM3.2 (GM-3 locus, granulocyte- macrophage antigen-3, Chr 2). This phenotypic specific antigen is present only on strains of mice expressing the GM3.2 phenotype (A/WySn, C57BL/6, C57BL/10, C57BR/cd, C57L,J, RF/J are GM3.2 +'ve and BALB/c, C3H/He, AKR are examples of GM3.2 -'ve strains). GM3.2 is found on neutrophils in bone marrow, peritoneal exudates and a population of thioglycollate-activated macrophages.(1) It is absent from lymphoid, kidney liver, heart and red cells. GM3.2 should prove to be a useful marker for studies of myeloid cell differentiation, as granulocyte/macrophage colony forming cells are GM3.2 negative, while mature neutrophils and activated macrophages are GM3.2 positive.
