Z39Ig, a recently identified immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily member, is localized in the
pericentromeric region of human chromosome X and detectable in all human tissue, but it is
predominantly expressed in fetal human tissues as well as in adult lungs and placenta. In
the present study, we generated a monoclonal antibody against Z39Ig protein to investigate
the immunological role of Z39Ig protein on various immune cells. The anti-Z39Ig mAb that
we generated specifically bound to Z39Ig protein on human promonocytic THP-1 cells …
