TER-119 activity is directed against mouse Ter-119.

TER-119 recognizes a 52 kDa cell surface protein that strongly associates with glycophorin A on the erythrocyte membrane ¹ . The antigen is not present on a number of tested cell lines, including T cell, B cell, macrophage, mast cell, fibroblast, epithelial, and murine erythroleukemia cultured lines.

TER-119 is a mouse erythroid lineage-specific rat monoclonal antibody that reacts with 100% of mature erythrocytes and 80-90% of day 14 fetal liver cells, after which the percentage of TER-119⁺ fetal cells declines to 40-50% ². Additionally, TER-119 stains 20-25% of adult mouse bone marrow cells and 2-3% of spleen cells, but not thymocytes or lymph node cells.

TER-119 was produced in Wister rats immunized with BALB/c fetal liver cells ¹ . Spleen cells were fused with X63.Ag8.653 myeloma cells to produce a hybridoma clone reactive against fetal liver cells. TER-119 recognizes a 7,9 di-O-acetyl sialic acid glyco-epitope ³ . Additionally, the epitope is sensitive to hemagglutinin esterase derived from bovine coronavirus (Mebus strain) but not influenza C.

TER-119 is highly specific for erythroid cells, from early proerythroblasts to mature erythrocytes. TER-119 antigen is expressed on normal erythroid cells, but not erythroleukemia cells, even when induced with dimethylsulfoxide. TER-119 is not thought to interact with pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells in adult bone marrow.
