We have analyzed the HLA class II gene products from HLA-DRw6 homozygous cells. Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cell lines were internally labeled with [35S]-methionine. An NP-40 lysate of the cells was subjected to immunoprecipitation, first with a DRw52-1ike-specific monoclonal antibody and subse

β¦ Synopsis
HLA-DR molecules were isolated from eight different HLA-DR3 homozygous B-cell lines by immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies, and they were subsequently analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. We found that HLA-DR3 homozygous Bcell lines of consanguineous origin express two types of HLA-DR molecules. One type of HLA-DR molecule was present in all the cell lines tested, whereas the second DR molecule appears to be polymorphic. DNA isolated from the different HLA-DR3 homozygous cell lines was studied by Southern blot analysis to determine whether any DRfl restriction fragment length polymorphism could be observed. Polymorphisms detected at both the product and genomic level have been compared to each other, and their relations to the serological (HLA-DR) and cellular (HLA-D and LB-Q1) typing data will be discussed.

Genomic probes from the HLA-B region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) were used to study the association of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) with various MHC alleles, complotypes, and extended haplotypes. The two DNA probes, M20A and R5A, were derived from previously cl
