We generated a new monoclonal antibody (MAb), F7.2.38, by immunizing mice with CD3{varepsilon}{gamma}{delta}/CD3{omega} complexes purified from human T-cells by OKT3 MAb–Sepharose affinity chromatography. Immunoprecipitation experiments and Western blotting analysis showed that MAb F7.2.38 recognized the CD3{varepsilon} chain in CD3{varepsilon} cDNA-transfected FOX B-cells and in various T-cell lines. Using flow cytometry on permeabilized or intact cells, the epitope was found to be located in the cytoplasmic tail of the CD3{varepsilon} chain. Immunohistochemical staining on paraffin-embedded sections showed that the reactivity of MAb F7.2.38 was comparable to that of the commercially available anti-CD3{varepsilon} polyclonal antibody. Of the 52 well-characterized T-cell lymphomas, 41 were positive for F7.2.38 (79%), whereas all 37 B-cell lymphomas and 69 non-lymphoid tumors were unreactive. This new anti-CD3{varepsilon} antibody would be particularly useful for phenotyping T-cell lymphomas on routinely processed paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Key Words: monoclonal antibody, CD3{varepsilon} chain, T-cell lymphomas, T-cell receptor assembly, immunohistochemistry, paraffin sections
