HLA-B POT: a new HLA-antigen within the B7-cross reactive group.
In this report, a new HLA-B locus antigen is described (tentatively called POT). The antigen has been identified with antisera against the antigens that belong to the B7-cross reacting group. In a collaborative study, based on exchange of cells and sera, it was confirmed by population and family studies that the antigen is distinct from B7, Bw42 or Bw73 and is associated with Bw6. In absorption experiments with EBV-transformed cell lines, the POT-antigens removes preferentially anti-B7, Bw42 and Bw73 activity and to a lesser extent antibodies reactive with the B40 CREG-antigens.
