Abstract 


The expression at the cell surface level of two previously defined human Ia antigen subsets, NG1 and NG2, was studied. Two monoclonal hybridoma antibodies, D1-12 (anti-NG1) and D4-22 (anti-NG2), labeled with distinct fluorochromes, were used as probes. The results indicate that NG1 and NG2 molecules are simultaneously expressed on the same cell, and moreover, that they are identifiable as spatially separate structures. In addition, when a series of 6 other anti-Ia monoclonal antibodies previously described were analyzed in a checkerboard test of binding inhibition at the cell surface level, they were found to closely mimic the reactivity pattern of either D1-12 or D4-22 antibody, suggesting that NG1 and NG2 Ia subsets express independent clusters of highly immunogenic epitopes.
