Characterization of different B-F (MHC class I) molecules in the chicken.
B-F alloantisera recognized distinct 45-Kd molecules on peripheral red blood cells (RBC) from embryonic chickens and heterogeneous molecules of approximately 40 to 44 Kd on peripheral RBC from adult chickens, provisionally referred to as type 1 and type 2, respectively. Type 2 molecules migrated to the basic end of isoelectric focusing gels, exhibited multiple isomorphic variants, and were associated with a smaller polypeptide of approximately 11 to 12 Kd assumed to be beta-2-microglobulin. Type 1 molecules migrated to the acidic end of isoelectric focusing gels, exhibited limited heterogeneity, and were not associated with a smaller polypeptide. Type 1 and type 2 molecules were also shown to be distinct by peptide mapping and serological analyses. In addition, two distinct molecular-weight forms of the type 2 molecules were distinguished, provisionally referred to as 2A (45 Kd) and 2B (42 Kd). In vivo-derived avian erythroblastosis virus (AEV)-transformed erythroleukemia cells expressed type 2A molecules. In vitro-derived AEV-transformed erythroleukemia cells expressed very low levels of B-F molecules; however, they expressed type 2B molecules when induced to differentiate. Normal bursa-derived lymphoid cells expressed type 2A molecules, whereas normal thymus-derived lymphoid cells expressed type 2B molecules. Cloned reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV)-transformed immature lymphoid cells expressed either type 2A or type 2B molecules.
