摘要: Bone marrow stromal cells regulate B-cell growth and development through their surface molecules cytokines. In this study, we generated a mAb, RS38, that recognized novel human membrane protein, BST-2, expressed on bone cell lines synovial lines. We cloned cDNA encoding BST-2 from rheumatoid arthritis-derived line. is 30- to 36-kDa type II transmembrane consisting of 180 amino acids. The gene (HGMW-approved symbol BST2) located chromosome 19p13.2. not only certain but also various normal tissues, although its expression pattern different another molecule, BST-1. fibroblast facilitated the cell-dependent murine marrow-derived pre-B-cell line, DW34. results suggest may be involved in growth.
