Abstract

Cytolysis by NK cells that possess the NKB1 killer cell inhibitory receptor is inhibited by target cell expression of Bw4+ HLA-B molecules. The inhibitory effect can be prevented by addition of mAbs which block recognition of class I molecules by NKB1. The epitopes recognized by two anti-class I mAbs, DX15 and DX16, which inhibit the interaction of NKB1 with class I have been characterized. Binding of DX15 and DX16 to class I allotypes was investigated by flow cytometric analysis of transfected cell lines which express just one HLA-A, B, or C allele, and by immunoprecipitation of class I molecules from HLA typed B-lymphoblastoid cell lines, followed by isoelectric focusing. The DX16 mAb recognizes class I allotypes which possess alanine at position 71 of the alpha 1 helix, and therefore has a specificity resembling that of the ME1 mAb but with broader specificity. Class I recognition by DX15 is affected by polymorphisms of the C-terminal part of the alpha 1 helix, and the N-terminal part of the alpha 2 helix. DX15 thus appears to recognize a complex epitope near the end of the peptide binding groove which may be conformationally determined. Both antibodies are as effective as the anti-NKB1 mAb (DX9) in preventing class I recogn...Continue Reading

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.
