| Research Abstract |
We have established a novel human megakaryoblastic cell line (MEG-01) from a patient with blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Using this cell line, we fhave obtained following results. (1) MEG-01 cells are differenciated morphologically and phenotypically to more mature megakaryocytes by a phorbor diester, TPA. (2) MEG-01 cells possess coagulation factors <VIII> , <V> , <XII> and <XIII> as well as protein S in their cytoplasma. Protein S, one of vitamin-K-dependent coagulation factors, is produced by MEG-01. Its function and molecular weight (84,000) is the same as one in normal human plasma. Its production was enhanced by vitamin-K and suppressed by warfarin. (3) A platelet specific protein, <beta> -thromboglobulin, is present in the culture supernatant of MEG-01 cells in serum-free medium. (4) A mouse monoclonal antibody (MG-2) was produced by the hybridoma technique using MEG-01 as an immunogen. MG-2 (IgM) reacts specifically with MEG-01 cells and human normal megakaryocytes.
