Further studies on the epitopes of HLA-B7 defined by murine monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies reactive with polymorphic epitopes of HLA-B7 were analyzed by direct and indirect cytotoxicity assays on established panels of HLA typed lymphocytes. This permitted further refinement of their specificity and the identification of various novel reactions. The topographic relationship of polymorphic epitopes on the surface of the B7 molecule was assessed with various serological assays using cell surface B7 or papain solubilized B7 as the antigenic target. These studies focused on monoclonal antibodies recognizing B27 and B7. The results, in combination with those of previously published studies, are used to provide a current assessment of the epitope map of HLA-B7 as defined with mouse monoclonal antibodies. This is compared to the results obtained with alloantisera.
