Abstract

The lymphocyte differentiation antigens detected by rabbit antisera to rat thymocytes and leukaemic cells have been investigated. Thy-1 was the only such antigen detected by the anti-thymocyte serum, which was predominately directed to two xenoantigenic determinants rather than the Thy-1.1 determinant on this molecule. Two additional antigens were recognized by the anti-leukaemia serum. One of these was found on thymocytes and peripheral lymphocytes, but only on 1 per cent of bone marrow cells. The other was found not only on lymphocytes, but also on the nucleated myeloid and erythroid cells of bone marrow.
