"Lin-neg" merely means that the cells referred to did not display antigens indicative of a particular myeloid/lymphoid lineage. That is, they were not stained with antibodies against CD33, CD7, CD19, etc. There is no lin-neg antibody; it is just a name for cells that do not fall into a specific lineage based upon staining with a mixture of antibodies that define the spectrum of mature and progenitor hematopoietic lineage ontogenies.
