  • Title: Expression of H-related antigen on human megakaryocytes and megakaryocytic leukemia cells.
    Author: Okumura M, Morishima Y, Ogura M, Morishita Y, Tanimoto M, Ohno R, Saito H.
    Journal: Int J Hematol; 1991 Apr; 54(2):151-8. PubMed ID: 1747448.
    Abstract:
    A mouse monoclonal antibody (MoAb), MG-2, was produced by immunizing a characterized human megakaryoblastic cell line, MEG-01. Since MG-2 reacted with erythrocytes of all ABH blood groups except Oh (O Bombay), and since anti-H MoAb inhibited MG-2 binding to MEG-01 cells, MG-2 is considered to recognize a molecule closely related to blood group antigen H. MG-2 reacted more strongly with normal smaller sized megakaryocytes than with larger sized ones, and not with platelets. The expression of the intrinsic H-related antigen on MEG-01 cells decreased concomitant to megakaryocytic differentiation induced by phorbol esters. This H-related antigen was expressed on leukemia cells with the megakaryocytic features from blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.
