N2 - A monoclonal antibody of the IgM class, reacting with the CD9 (p24) antigen is described. The antibody (FMC27) is cytotoxic against cells of the common type of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (c-ALL), giving killing at higher dilutions than an IgG antibody (FMC8) against the same antigen. FMC27 and FMC8 recognise different epitopes, and FMC27 may thus be used in a cocktail together with FMC8 and an antibody against the c-ALL antigen, WM21. Furthermore, the IgM antibody can be coated directly onto magnetic microparticles for magnetic purging, unlike the IgG antibody which must be used in a two-layer procedure.
