Structural relatedness of distinct determinants recognized by monoclonal antibody TP25.99 on beta 2-microglobulin-associated and beta 2-microglobulin-free HLA class I heavy chains.
The association of HLA class I heavy chains with beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) changes their antigenic profile. As a result, Abs react with either beta2m-free or beta2m-associated HLA class I heavy chains. An exception to this rule is the mAb TP25.99, which reacts with both beta2m-associated and beta2m-free HLA class I heavy chains. The reactivity with beta2m-associated HLA class I heavy chains ...
متن کاملHeavy chain of HLA-A and HLA-B antigens is conformationally labile: a possible role for beta 2-microglobulin.
The three-dimensional organization of HLA antigens has been investigated by spectroscopic and immunochemical techniques. Measurement of the circular dichroism shows that in papain-solubilized HLA the heavy chain as well as the previously studied light chain (beta 2-microglobulin) consists predominantly of beta-pleated sheet structures. When heavy chain is separated from the light chain under de...
متن کاملCorrelations between Terasaki's HLA class I epitopes and HLAMatchmaker-defined eplets on HLA-A, -B and -C antigens.
Although the determination of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibody specificity has traditionally been directed toward HLA antigens, there is now increasing attention to structurally defined HLA epitopes. An understanding of the HLA epitope repertoire is important to acceptable mismatching for sensitized patients and to a new epitope-based matching algorithm aimed to reduce antibody-mediated r...
متن کاملUterine MHC class I molecules and beta 2-microglobulin are regulated by progesterone and conceptus interferons during pig pregnancy.
MHC class I molecules and beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) are membrane glycoproteins that present peptide Ags to TCRs, and bind to inhibitory and activating receptors on NK cells and other leukocytes. They are involved in the discrimination of self from non-self. Modification of these molecules in the placenta benefits pregnancy, but little is known about their genes in the uterus. We examined...
متن کاملXenogeneic beta 2-microglobulin substitution affects functional binding of MHC class I molecules by CD8+ T cells.
NK cells and CD8+ T cells bind MHC-I molecules using distinct topological interactions. Specifically, murine NK inhibitory receptors bind MHC-I molecules at both the MHC-I H chain regions and beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) while TCR engages MHC-I molecules at a region defined solely by the class I H chain and bound peptide. As such, alterations in beta2m are not predicted to influence functional ...
