Cross-reactivity between human and canine helper and suppressor T cell antigens using monoclonal antibodies RPA-T4 and HuLy-m8

The murine monoclonal antibodies RPA-T4 and HuLy-m8, specific for a framework determinant of human helper/inducer and suppressor/cytotoxic T cell antigens, cross-reacted with canine cell membrane molecules recognizing a biomolecular complex similar to that described in humans. We investigated the distribution of these helper and suppressor T cell-like antigens on canine peripheral blood lymphocytes
