## Abstract Human leukocyte interferon increased the expression of HLA‐A, B antigens and β~2~‐microglobulin on two lines of human lymphoblastoid cells and on peripheral blood lymphocytes. No effect was observed on the expression of HLA‐DR antigens.
Recent evidence suggests that the Ly-m11 alloantigen (Tada et al. 1980) is an allotypic determinant of mouse beta-2-microglobulin (B2m). In support of this are: (1) tight genetic linkage between the Ly-mll locus and the locus governing structural polymorphism of B2m (Michaelson 1981, Goding 1981),
Alternative conformations of h 2 -microglobulin (h 2 m) are involved in its transformation from soluble monomeric precursor molecules to the insoluble polymeric material that constitutes h 2 m amyloid. Accordingly, non-native conditions such as low pH or high ionic strength promote h 2 m amyloid for
