Immune electron-microscopy study of the trimeric glycoprotein (CD 103) of hairy cell leukemia using the Ber-ACT8 monoclonal antibody.

We describe a method which makes it possible to study the expression of the trimeric glycoprotein ( TGP, CD 103) on the surface of hairy cells (HCs) by electron microscopy (e.m.). The monoclonal antibody (mAb) Ber-ACT8 was used to identify the TGP. By testing mucosa of the small intestine, we found that a prefixation incubation with Ber-ACT8 was necessary. After isolation with a density gradient, Ber-ACT8 incubation, and fixation, the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) method was used to make the TGP visible. The HCs showed a clearly discernible stain on their surface, a fairly constant distribution of the TGP, and a very good ultrastructural preservation. This method makes it possible to demonstrate the TGP or other unfixable antigens by e.m.[1]
