Quantitative immunocytochemical characterization of mononuclear phagocytes. I. Monoblasts, promonocytes, monocytes, and peritoneal and alveolar macrophages.

Abstract：

:The purpose of the present study was to compare the phenotype of tissue macrophages with that of their precursors in the bone marrow and blood. The phenotype was determined on the basis of the quantitative binding of monoclonal antibodies to cell-surface antigens (antigen F4/80, complement receptor III, Fc receptor II, Ia antigen, common leukocyte antigen, and Mac-2 and Mac-3 antigens) on individual mononuclear phagocytes. Monoclonal antibody binding to cells, detected by the biotin-avidin immunoperoxidase procedure, was quantitated by cytophotometric determination of the amount of enzyme reaction product on cells. The results of this quantitation are expressed as the median of the specific absorbance per unit of cell-surface area (0.25 micron2) and per cell. Shortly after collection of the mononuclear phagocytes, binding of all monoclonal antibodies except those directed against the common leukocyte and Mac-2 antigens to peritoneal macrophages was enhanced compared with binding to blood monocytes; for alveolar macrophages we found reduced binding of monoclonal antibodies F4/80 and M1/70 (complement receptor III) and enhanced binding of monoclonal antibodies with specificity for the common leukocyte antigen and Mac-2 and Mac-3 antigens. The results obtained with cultured mononuclear phagocytes show that during the development from monoblast to tissue macrophages, monoclonal antibody binding to the various types of mononuclear phagocyte, expressed per unit of cell-surface area, was not significantly altered except that of M3/38 (Mac-2 antigen) to peritoneal macrophages and that of F4/80 and M1/70 (complement receptor III) to alveolar macrophages. Expressed on a per cell basis, the results show an increase in the binding of all monoclonal antibodies except those directed against the Fc receptor II and Mac-3 antigen during the development from promonocytes to peritoneal macrophages; binding of most monoclonal antibodies to alveolar macrophages was considerably lower than that to blood monocytes. It is concluded that the expression of the various cell-surface antigens alters during mononuclear phagocyte differentiation. The expression changed also during culture, although distinct patterns of alteration could not be distinguished.
