Epithelial plasma membranes from crustacean gut, kidney and gills have been shown recently to display an electrogenic 2Na+/1H+ antiporter that differs considerably in its physiological properties from the vertebrate electroneutral 1Na+/1H+ exchange paradigm. In this study, we describe the histological and cytological localization of an antigen associated with invertebrate electrogenic 2Na+/1H+ antiport in lobster (Homarus americanus) tissues using a monoclonal antibody (MAb 11) raised in mice against purified brush border membranes of the hepatopancreatic epithelium. Previous work showed that MAb 11 inhibited electrogenic 2Na+/1H+ and Ca2+/H+ exchange by hepatopancreatic brush border membrane vesicles, but was without effect on Na+-dependent d-glucose transport, suggesting a restricted inhibitory specificity to the cation exchanger. MAb 11 binding occurred at hepatopancreatic epithelial R-cell brush border membranes, at plasma membranes of the antennal gland and gill podocytes, and at vacuolar membranes of hepatopancreatic B- and R-cells, gill nephrocytes and epithelial cells of the antennal gland labyrinth and gill lamellae, as assessed by FITC-labelled secondary antibodies. Control FITC-labelled antibodies raised in mice against vertebrate keratin proteins displayed only weak non-specific binding to the tissues and cells responding intensely to MAb 11, supporting the specific nature of MAb 11 binding to its cognate antigen. The broad histological and cytological distribution of MAb 11 binding to plasma membranes and vacuolar membranes from several lobster organ systems suggests that the physiological activities regulated by its antigen, possibly an element of the invertebrate electrogenic cation exchanger, may be diverse.
