Functional expression of HLA-DP genes transfected into mouse fibroblasts

Abstract: The HLA class II antigens are a highly polymorphic family of dimeric cell-surface glycoproteins, expressed predominantly on the surface of immunocompetent cells. They are intimately involved with the induction of the T-cell response to extrinsic antigen and are important predisposing factors for a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases. We describe here the expression of a class II product from the HLA-DP (new WHO nomenclature, formerly SB) subregion after transfer of cloned genes into mouse fibroblasts. The tra… Show more

“…It was further demonstrated that SB/HLA-DP, when transfected into murine fibroblasts, could present influenza viral peptides to DP-restricted human T cells (48). There are a growing number of examples of viral peptides that bind to DP molecules and elicit CD4 ϩ T cell responses, particularly for DP4, the allele used in this study.…”

“…It has been shown that mouse fibroblasts transfected with the genes of the murine la or human DR polypeptides can express the molecules on the cell surface. Moreover, these Ia-expressing transfectants are capable of stimulating several antigen-and allo-specific T cells in an MHC-restricted manner (5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…Recent advances in cloning the genes of the a and p subunits of the Ta molecule and their expression in cells that normally do not express Ia gene products have allowed a direct approach to the study of the structure-function relationships of the Ta molecule (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). It has been shown that mouse fibroblasts transfected with the genes of the murine la or human DR polypeptides can express the molecules on the cell surface.…”

“…Four different mouse monoclonal antibodies against class II antigens were applied as the first antibody. Anti-HLA-DR (IgG2a, Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, CA, USA) (Wang et al 1983) and Nu-la (IgGI, Nichirei, Tokyo) (Matsumoto 1984) were used as the anti-HLA-DR antibody, anti-HLA-DP (IgG2a, Becton Dickinson) (Austin et al 1985) was used as the anti-HLA-DP antibody, and Leu10 (IgG2a, Becton Dickinson) (Chen et al 1989) was used as the anti-HLA-DQ antibody. Two monoclonal antibodies against anti-keyhole limpet hemocyanin, clone x 39 (IgG2a) and x 40 (IgGI) (Becton Dickinson) were used as monoclonal controls.…”

“…It has been shown that HLA-DR antigens are required for antigen-recognition of helper T cells, and that HLA-DQ antigens are required for antigen-recognition of suppressor T cells (Hirayama et al 1987; Matsushita et al 1987). HLA-DP antigens have been shown to be required for antigen-recognition of helper T cells in cooperation with HLA-DR antigens (Eckels et al 1983; Austin et al 1985). Namely, HLA-DR with or without HLA-DP, and HLA-DQ antigens seem to restrict the reverse immune-response to each other.…”
