Calreticulin recognizes misfolded HLA-A2 heavy chains.
Our studies investigated functional interactions between calreticulin, an endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Using in vitro thermal aggregation assays, we established that calreticulin can inhibit heat-induced aggregation of soluble, peptide-deficient HLA-A2 purified from supernatants of insect cells. The presence of HLA-A2-specific pe...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa Recognizes Carbohydrate Chains
The adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to type 1 (Gal,11-3GlcNAc) and type 2 (Galpll-4GlcNAc) disaccharide determinants was studied in a microtiter adhesion assay and a thin-layer chromatography bacterial overlay assay. The oligosaccharides were prepared from human breast milk and human urine and were conjugated to hexadecylaniline to form neoglycolipids that were used in the assays. Both the m...
متن کاملCytotoxic T lymphocytes from HLA-A2 transgenic mice specific for HLA-A2 expressed on human cells
CTL clones were derived from HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice by immunization with a human cell expressing HLA-A2.1. None of these clones lysed murine transfectants, and only 3 of 23 lysed monkey transfectants expressing HLA-A2. In contrast, all of these clones lysed a wide variety of human cells expressing HLA-A2.1. These results demonstrate the existence of species-specific epitopes on the HLA-A2.1 m...
متن کاملPathogenicity of Misfolded and Dimeric HLA-B27 Molecules
The association between HLA-B27 and the group of autoimmune inflammatory arthritic diseases, the spondyloarthropathies (SpAs) which include ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Reactive Arthritis (ReA), has been well established and remains the strongest association between any HLA molecule and autoimmune disease. The mechanism behind this striking association remains elusive; however animal model a...
متن کاملCell-free translation of the mRNAs for the heavy and light chains of HLA-A and HLA-B antigens.
Cell-free translation of poly(A)-containing RNA from the JY lymphoblastoid cell line followed by immunoprecipitation has indicated the presence of mRNAs for both the heavy and light chains of HLA-A and HLA-B antigens in these preparations. Both chains are synthesized with an NH2-terminal extension, approximately 20 residues in length for the light chain, and 20 or 24 residues for the heavy chai...
