213 Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against leucocyte surface antigens from human and 11 animal species were analyzed for reactivities against leucocytes from human and 15 different animal species. We found 77 mAbs (36%) to cross-react. Altogether, 217 cross reactions were registered out of 3195 possible combinations (7%). Most of the cross reacting mAbs had integrin or MHC class II specificities. This study defined cross reactions on the following markers: CD1a, 1c, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11a, 11b, 14, 18, 20, 21, 23, 29, 31, 41, 43, 44, 45, 45R, 46, 49, 61, 62L, TCR gamma/delta, BCR, Thy-1, MHC class I and MHC class II, Swine-WC7 and Cattle-WC1. In order to characterize the molecular weight (MW) of the corresponding cross reacting antigens, selected mAbs were used to immunoprecipitate the antigens. The MW's of the analyzed precipitated antigens were in good agreement with the MWs of the homologous antigens. The followed strategy was found to be efficient and economical in defining new leucocyte antigen reactive mAbs.

Although variation in the level of macrophage infiltration has been reported in uveal melanoma, little is known about the expression of other leucocyte markers. An immuno- histochemistry study of the levels of expression of macrophage and other leucocyte markers, in a series of 10 primary choroidal melanoma biopsies, was undertaken. Biopsies were either fixed immediately in formalin and embedded in paraffin wax or established as short-term cultures. Using single- and double-labelling immunohistochemistry, cultured cells and paraffin sections were analysed for a range of melanoma (HMB45, Melan A, S100 and tyrosinase) and immune cell (CD68, CD163, CD45 and CD1a) markers. All samples expressed at least two known melanoma markers. Infiltrating macrophages were present in the majority of sections. When cultured specimens were studied by double-labelling immunofluorescence, uveal melanoma cells were seen to express macrophage markers or have cross-reactivity with related proteins. Expression of the leucocyte antigen CD45 was observed in three tumours but was not present in any cultured cells, whilst the expression of the dendritic cell marker CD1a was absent from all samples.

Swine monocytes constitute a heterogeneous population of cells which can be divided into four subsets based on the expression of SWC3, CD14, CD163 and swine leucocyte antigen (SLA) DR markers. These subsets appear to represent different maturation stages in a pathway along which these cells up-regulate the expression of SLA DR and CD163 antigens and reduce that of CD14. Differences in the expression of adhesion and costimulatory molecules are also patent, with a progressive increase in the expression of CD11a, wCD11R1, CD29, CD49d, CD61, CD1a and CD80/86, and a concomitant decrease in that of wCD11R2. Besides, these subsets differ in their capacity for tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production in response to lipopolysaccharide + interferon-gamma. The CD163(+) CD14(-) SLA DR(+) subset produces higher amounts of TNF-alpha than the CD163(-) CD14(+) SLA DR(-) subset, whereas CD163(+) CD14(+) SLA DR(+) and CD163(-) CD14(+) SLA DR(+) subsets show intermediate values. CD163(+) monocytes also display a higher ability to present soluble antigens to T cells than CD163(-) monocytes.
