title: [The effect of heating and drugs on HL-A antigens and their reactions with cytotoxins].
abstract: In some instances the heating of lymphocytes for 2 to 3 minutes at 56 degrees C enhances HL-A antigens or makes it possible to detect these antigens by a twostage microlymphocytotoxic test on preheated lymphocytes only. Similar phenomenons are observed in some tannin (1: 40 000) or 0.1% phenol-treated lymphocytes and after the addition of these solutions during the first stage of the lymphocytotoxic test. Prolonged heating at 56 degrees C leads to nonspecific polyreactivity of lymphocytes, giving false results with all sera. For similar reasons also higher concentrations of tannin and phenol solutions were found dissatisfactory for the pretreatment of lymphocytes. The pretreatment of lymphocytes with 36-0.5% formaline induces full inhibition of specific cytotoxic reactivity of HL-A antigens and their absorption ability with regards to respective HL-A sera. The addition of formaline at 0.06-0.3% concentration during the first and second stages of the test and at the end of the second stage (or simultaneously with eosine) gives also negative results of the cytotoxic test owing to the inhibitory effect of formaline on rabbit complement and HL-A antigens.
