A series of monoclonal antibodies was obtained by hybridoma technology after immunization with granulocytes from healthy donors or K 562 immature erythroid-myeloid leukemia cells. Three different types of reactivities with examined hematopoietic-, nonhematopoietic cells and cell lines were observed by microscopic immunofluorescence, immunocytofluorometry and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), as follows: (i) broad, non-lineage type of two monoclonal antibodies (Bra10G and Bra7F1) with examined hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic human neoplastic cell lines, (ii) non-lineage type of reactivity restricted to hematopoietic cell lines, and (iii) restricted (myelomonocytic) pattern of binding to myeloid cell lines and healthy donors' granulocytes (monoclonal antibodies Bra4F1, BraC8 and Bra1F2). Monoclonal antibodies Bra10G and BraC6 were shown to immunoprecipitate specifically a heterodimeric two-chain cell surface protein p200,95 from cell lysates of lactoperoxidase radioiodinated U 937 cells with recognized epitope localized on the heavy chain (as shown by immunoblotting experiments). Antibodies with restricted myelomonocytic type of reactivity exhibited minor quantitative differences in their microscopic immunofluorescence and immunocytofluorometric patterns of reactivities with examined myeloid leukemia cell lines (K 562, HL 60, U 937) and healthy donors' granulocytes. The monoclonal antibody Bra4F1 was defined by the 4th International Workshop on Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens as CD15 (with typical selective reactivity towards myelomonocytic leukemia cells and cell lines as well as healthy donors' granulocytes) recognizing the X-hapten carbohydrate antigenic determinant.
