Abstract

The immunization of a (BALB/c x C57BL/6) FI mouse with murine transfectants expressing the HLA-B27 antigen resulted in a panel of polymorphic monoclonal antibodies with specificity for HLA-B27 and some additional HLA-antigens. Specificity of the antibodies was defined by cytofluorometric analysis on a panel of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) derived from HLA typed individuals. Three of these antibodies are cytotoxic, and one of them inhibits B27-specific T cell cytotoxicity. Our results indicate that HLA-class I transfectants could be used to generate polymorphic antibodies, and that these antibodies may be helpful for HLA typing and for definition of epitopes recognized by T cells.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
