چکیده

BACKGROUND We previously reported that a Q5 gene product (Q5 antigen) on the surface of tumor cells caused humoral immune reaction in syngeneic tumor-bearing mice. Transcripts of the Q5 gene were observed in various tumor cells. The human counterpart of the Q5 gene has not been clarified yet. MATERIALS AND METHODS Transcripts of human class Ib genes in various human tumor cell lines were analyzed by the RT-PCR method. Whether anti-HLA-F antibodies were present in sera from cancer patients was investigated through Western blotting with recombinant HLA-F as an antigen. RESULTS Transcripts of the HLA-F gene were produced by various tumor cell lines. In addition, anti-HLA-F IgG was present in the sera derived from various types of cancer patients (26 positives / 42 tested), but not in the sera derived from healthy donors (0 / 20). CONCLUSION Anti-HLA-F antibodies should be further investigated as possible diagnostic tumor markers.

Anti-HLA Antibodies and Kidney Allograft Outcomes in Recipients with Donor Bone Marrow Cell Infusion

Background: Anti-HLA-antibodies are known to affect the allograft survival in transplant recipient patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anti-HLA antibodies and kidney allograft outcomes, particularly in recipients with concur-rent donor bone marrow cell infusion (DBMI). Methods: Between June 2006 and May 2007, forty living unrelated donor kidney tra...

Gamma-globulins prepared from sera of multiparous women bind anti-HLA antibodies and inhibit an established in vivo human alloimmune response.

It has previously been shown that sera from multiparous women have increased levels of anti-idiotypic antibodies specific for anti-HLA molecules. gamma-Globulins prepared from these sera may be superior to commercial preparations of intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIg) for inhibiting HLA alloimmunization. To test this, F(ab')2 fragments prepared from either commercial IVIg or from the sera of men ...

Advantages of Placenta as a Source for Mass Production of HLA-Antisera

Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) of fetus are responsible for induction of HLA antibodies in mother. Exposure to the mismatched paternal HLA antigens in the fetus gives rise to a polyclonal antibody response against paternal HLA antigens. HLA antibodies are present in the maternal circulation of the placenta and are absorbed onto the placenta [1]. The major source of HLA antisera is from sera of ...
