Reactivity of workshop antibodies with a non-ruminant species: crossreactivity with canine blood leukocytes

Vet Immunol Immunopathol. 1996 Aug;52(4):427-33. doi: 10.1016/0165-2427(96)05596-1.

Abstract

Three-hundred and eight monoclonal antibodies detecting surface determinants on ruminant cells were tested on canine leukocytes by flow cytometry. Thirty mabs showed crossreactivity: 25 of them reacted uniformly with cells of three unrelated dogs, five displayed a polymorphic reaction pattern. Thus, in addition to mabs with yet unknown specificity, antibodies to ruminant WC9, B-cell antigens and possible CD29, CD49d cross-react with canine cells, and probably react with the homologous canine antigen.
