title: A new determinant, defined by PLT, coded for in the HLA region and apparently independent of the HLA-D and DR loci.
abstract: A PLT cell was raised between a responder cell which carried the HLA-D and DR specificities Dw3, 8; DRw3, 8 and a stimulator cell which was most likely homozygous for HLA-Dw3, DRw3. The PLT cell appeared to recognize a determinant (PL3A) which was (1) different from the officially recognized HLA-D and DR determinants, (2) was associated with HLA-A1, B8, Dw3 and DRw3, and (3) segregated in three informative families with HLA. Another responder-stimulator combination could be selected to raise PLT cells which recognized the same determinant.
