Abstract

The pan-leukocyte antigen CD53 is a member of the poorly understood transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) of cell membrane glycoproteins. CD53 is proposed to play a role in thymopoiesis, since rat CD53 is expressed on immature CD4-8-thymocytes and the functionally mature single-positive subset, but is largely absent from the intermediate CD4+8+ cells. We have characterized CD53 in the mouse through the production of two new monoclonal antibodies, MRC OX-79 and OX-80, which were raised against the RAW 264 cell line and screened on recombinant CD53 fusion proteins. The epitopes recognized by both antibodies are dependent on disulfide bonding and map to the major extracellular region of CD53, requiring the presence of a single threonine residue at position 154. Mouse CD53 has a molecular mass of 35-45 kDa and is expressed on virtually all peripheral leukocytes, but not on cells outside the lymphoid or myeloid lineages. CD53 expression distinguishes subpopulations of thymocytes in the mouse and resembles the expression pattern of rat CD53. Amongst the immature CD4-8-thymocytes, mouse CD53 is clearly detectable on the earliest CD44high25- subset, but down-regulated on the later CD44high25+, CD44low25+ and CD44low25- stages. Also, the ...Continue Reading
