ABSTRACT:
A late differentiation antigen (LDA.sub.1) expressed by activated helper cells is described. LDA.sub.1 is a membrane protein recognized by a monoclonal antibody produced by immunizing mice with an alloreactive human T cell clone with helper function. LDA.sub.1 is expressed by helper T cells optionally 9 days after activation. Anti-LDA.sub.1 monoclonal antibody blocks T cell enhancement of B-cell immunoglobulin production. Thus, LDA.sub.1 is associated with helper T cell effector function. Methods of diagnosis and therapy based upon LDA.sub.1 are also described.
