Multiple HLA-DR antigens: detection with monoclonal antibodies and translation in vitro

Abstract

L203 and L227 are mouse monoclonal antibodies specific for human HLA-DR antigens. Their reactivity with multiple, structurally different, HLA-DR antigens was examined by using radioiodinated human lymphoblastoid cells and cell lines, heterozygous or homozygous at the HLA-D locus. Antibody L203 precipitates DR antigens composed of 34,000 Mr heavy chains (alpha), and 28,000-29,000 Mr light chains (beta). Antibody L227 recognizes two other species of DR antigens. Their heavy chains have similar molecular weights of 34,000 but their light chains are different, one (beta) being 28,000-29,000 Mr and the other (beta') 23,000-25,000 Mr. Whereas L203 is directed against a combinatorial determinant generated by both DR chains, L227 is able to recognize each of the two light chains alone and reprecipitate them after their separate elution from sodium dodecyl sulfate gels. Poly(A)-containing mRNA was isolated from Raji cells and translated in vitro by microinjection in Xenopus oocytes. The oocytes translated and fully assembled all the DR molecules recognized by L203 and L227 antibodies.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
