Abstract: | Multiple lymphoid cell lines were derived from 35HLA-D homozygous donors by EB-viral transformation of B lymphocytes. The expression of Ia-like alloantigens (HLA-DR) was studied by microcytotoxicity and by absorption with alloantisera exchanged through the Seventh Histocompatibility Workshop. B-lymphoid lines expressed the same specificities as normal B lymphocytes. Workshop antisera representing DRw1, DRw2, DRw3, and DRw7 gave well-defined typing patterns with cell lines derived from donors of corresponding D-locus specificities. A more complex reaction pattern was seen for antisera representing DRw4, DRw5, and DRw6. The available reagents could not discriminate between lines from donors homozygous for Dw4, Dw10, or D-KH. All lines studied, except for those from one donor homozygous for a unique D-locus determinant (D-SPO), could be assigned one of the provisional DRw specificities.The advantage of obtaining multiple cell lines from a single donor was evident. One line could not be typed by microcytotoxicity because it was lysed in all human sera tested, and some other lines gave weak cytotoxic reactions. Absorption studies, however, did indicate similar expression of DRw antigens on these lines. The availability of multiple lines from the same donor circumvented these difficulties. |
