21. Cryostat sections were stained with biotinylated monoclonal antibody [anti-hCD2, MAR206; A. Moretta et al , Eur. J. Immunol. 16, 1427 (1986)] and secondary antibody [StreptABComplex, horse radish peroxidase-conjugated (DAKO K377)] as described (2).
22. Metaphase spreads were obtained from transgenic mouse spleens cultured for 2 days after lipopolysacchande stimulation (Sigma; final concentration, 20 μg/ml) The hCD2 DNA probe was labeled and hybridized with the metaphase spreads following procedures previously described [D. Pinkel, T. Staume, J. W Grey, Proc. Natl. Acad Sci. U.S.A. 83, 2934 (1986); B. Ghanb et al., Ann. Hum Genet. 57, 9 (1993)] and analyzed with a Zeiss Axiophot fluorescence microscope The images were collected with a cooled charge-coupled device camera (Photometrics) with capture software (Digital Scientific).
