Abstract
Three monoclonal antibodies capable of individually recognizing chondr ocytes, osteoblasts and osteocytes were prepared. EB-1 reacted with a 55-kDa antigen on the chondrocyte membrane, EB-2 with a 110-kDa antige n on the membrane of osteoblasts and/or partial osteocytes, and EB-3 w ith a 130-kDa antigen on the membrane of osteocytes. These monoclonal antibodies may be useful probes for studying the differentiation and m aturation of osteogenic cells.
