By immunizing mice with bone marrow cells of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, monoclonal antibodies have been produced against differentiation antigens of hemopoietic cells. These antibodies also recognize cells in different parts of the normal human kidney. Two antibodies, ALB1 et ALB2, which recognize the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen, (CALLA), label the podocytes and the epithelial cells of the proximal tubules of the kidney; ALB6, which recognizes the "p 24" antigen of lymphocytes, labels the distal tubules; ALB9, which recognizes lymphoblasts and granulocytes, labels the thick ascending loop of Henle and the collecting tubules; PM1, which recognizes immature granulocytic cells, labels the thick ascending loop of Henle.
