The ability of monoclonal IgM anti‐DNA auto‐antibodies derived from normal human lymphoid cells to bind to cellular constituents of human epithelial cells (HEp‐2) was examined by immunofluorescence. Hybridoma supernatants from 10 different clones were studied. Four of them gave a strong fibrillar cytoplasmic staining that resembled cytoskeletal staining, 1 showed strong nuclear staining only, 3 showed weak nucleolar staining only, and 2 showed no staining. The hybridoma supernatants that reacted with HEp‐2 cytoskeleton were either polyspecific for various nucleic acid antigens, such as single‐stranded DNA, DNA, poly(dA:dT), poly(dG)·poly(dC), RNA, and cardiolipin, or were restricted to cardiolipin. Cytoskeletal staining identical to the hybridoma supernatant staining was also seen with mouse monoclonal anti‐vimentin antibody B11.5.1. Inhibition of the cytoskeletal staining was accomplished in 3 of the 4 hybridoma supernatants by preabsorption of these hybridoma supernatants with cardiolipin and/or single‐stranded DNA, or by preincubation of the HEp‐2 cells with the mouse monoclonal anti‐vimentin antibody.
