title: Transformation of LMTK- cells with purified HLA class I gene. VI. Serological characterization of HLA-B7 and AW24 molecules.
abstract: Serological characterization of HLA-B7 and HLA-AW24 class I molecules following transfection of murine LMTK- cells with purified HLA class I genes was performed using human alloantisera. Induction by murine alpha interferon of the expression of class I molecules was required to obtain unambiguous identification of these molecules which appear serologically identical to the HLA-B7 and HLA-AW24 molecules expressed at the surface of human peripheral blood lymphocytes of 20 unrelated individuals. Analysis of the transformed cells with 8 different anti-HLA class I monoclonal antibodies results in the definition of 3 separate clusters of antigenic determinants shared by all HLA class I molecules. These studies further suggest the existence of locus-specific serological reactivities associated either with the HLA-A or with the HLA-B and C gene products.
