Abstract We have previously assigned several genes controlling expression of cell-surface antigens to human chromosomes 1 and 12. In the present study, we characterize three additional cell-surface antigens determined by these chromosomes. Two monoclonal antibodies, AbSR75 and AbMG6, define antigens expressed on a wide range of cultured human cells. In contrast, AbK66 defines an antigen with a more restricted distribution which is expressed on normal and malignant human epithelial cells but not on neuroectoderm-derived cells or hematopoietic cells. Normal adult fibroblasts are K66−, whereas fetal fibroblasts are K66+. Serological analysis of rodent-human hybrid cells permitted the assignment of MSK31,controlling SR75, and MSK32,controlling K66, to chromosome 1, whereas MSK27, controlling MG6, maps to chromosome 12. Analysis of hybrids containing only deleted copies of chromosome 1 or chromosome 12 established regional assignments forMSK31, MSK32, and MSK27 and also for the previously defined genesMSK1, MSK4, andMSK7. TheMSK1 gene, coding for a 140,000 mol wt cell surface glycoprotein, was found to map to the same band (1p22) as the NRAS protooncogene and the gene encoding the β-subunit of nerve growth factor (NGFB).
