Several putative anti-human and swine CD11-specific monoclonal antibodies (
mAbs) were included in the myeloid section of the Third International Swine
CD Workshop. Failure of clustering analysis to group these mAbs together p
rompted additional analyses to define the specificities of these m-Ab. Comb
ination of one and two-color flow cytometry (FCM) and immunoprecipitation (
IP) allowed the definition of the mAb into three CD11 groups. Cellular dist
ribution of the molecules recognized by anti-human CD I lb and c mAbs on sw
ine cells proved to be significantly different from that found in humans. (
