title: Serological expression after sequential double transfection with purified HLA-A11 gene of mouse fibroblasts carrying human beta-2 microglobulin.
abstract: A genomic cosmid library constructed from DNA from a genotyped individual (JF = HLA-A11, Cw-, B38/A26, Cw7, B51) was screened for clones containing class I histocompatibility genes. Among these clones, one was found to carry a 4.8 kb Hind III fragment which is highly correlated with HLA-A11. This clone was used to transfect LMTK+ cultured mouse fibroblast transformants expressing human beta-2 microglobulin. The human beta-2 microglobulin heavy chain-associated determinant was positively detected by the M18 monoclonal antibody. HLA-A11 expression on these doubly transformed cells was specifically demonstrated by complement-dependent cytotoxicity with HLA-A11 + A3-specific but not with HLA-A3-specific monoclonal antibodies. Absorption studies with human alloantisera confirmed the presence on these cells of HLA-A11 determinants and of cross-reacting determinants which absorbed anti-HLA-A1 and -A3 alloantisera. The JF5-J27 transfected cell expressed both heavy and light chains of human class I histocompatibility genes.
