Abstract
The molecular relationship of HLA-D-associated by B [bone marrow derived] lymphocyte antigens was studied in lysostrip, immunofluorescence and MLC [mixed lymphocyte culture] inhibition experiments. Two B cell antigens, strongly associated with HLA-Dw2 and -Dw3, respectively, redistributed independently of each other in the cell membrane. A more broadly reacting B cell antiserum, which apparently recognized a public antigenic structure present on B cells of different HLA-D phenotypes, coaggregated with the HLA-Dw3-associated B cell antigen. Antibodies directed against the HLA-Dw2 and -Dw3 associated cell antigens caused specific stimulating cell inhibition in MLC. Less inhibition was observed if the target B cell antigen was shared between the responding and stimulating cell donor and thus did not constitute an allogeneic difference, indicating that these antigens are MLC stimulating determinants and that they reside on separate molecules in the cell membrane.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
