چکیده

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 is mediated by a conformational determinant expressed on all HLA-A, -B, and -C Ags. This determinant has been mapped to amino acid residues 194-198 in the alpha3 domain. The reactivity with beta2m-free HLA class I heavy chains is mediated by a linear determinant expressed on all HLA-B Ags except the HLA-B73 allospecificity and on <50% of HLA-A allospecificities. The latter determinant has been mapped to amino acid residues 239-242, 245, and 246 in the alpha3 domain. The conformational and the linear determinants share several structural features, but have no homology in their amino acid sequence. mAb TP25.99 represents the first example of a mAb recognizing two distinct and spatially distant determinants on a protein. The structural homology of a linear and a conformational determinant on an antigenic entity provides a molecular mechanism for the sharing of specificity by B and TCRs.

Analysis by NMR spectroscopy of the structural homology between the linear and the cyclic peptide recognized by anti-human leukocyte antigen class I monoclonal antibody TP25.99*.

The anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I monoclonal antibody (mAb) TP25.99 has a unique specificity since it recognizes both a conformational and a linear determinant expressed on the beta(2)-mu-associated and beta(2)-mu-free HLA class I heavy chains, respectively. Previously, we reported the identification of a cyclic and a linear peptide that inhibits mAb TP25.99 binding to the beta(2)-...

Uniquely conformed peptide-containing beta 2-microglobulin-free heavy chains of HLA-B2705 on the cell surface.

The human class I MHC molecules are known to generally exist on the cell surface either as peptide-containing complexes of H chain (alpha-chain) and beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) or as beta(2)m-free H chains incapable of binding peptides. In this study, a uniquely conformed peptide-containing beta(2)m-free HLA-B2705 H chain has been isolated using the recently described highly efficient perf...

Strong association of HLA-B27 heavy chain with beta 2-microglobulin.

Monoclonal antibody TG1 recognizes specifically antigens HLA-B27, B7, B22 and B17 on cell surface in cytotoxicity and cytofluorometry tests. When cell detergent extracts were subjected to SDS PAGE under mild conditions (no heating and no reduction of the sample) followed by Western blotting, TG1 detected exclusively a complex of B27 heavy chains with beta(2)-microglobulin (as a 50 kDa band) whe...

Functionally conformed free class I heavy chains exist on the surface of beta 2 microglobulin negative cells

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can recognize antigenic peptides bound in a groove formed by the alpha 1 and alpha 2 domains of the heterodimeric major histocompatibility complex class I molecule. Proper assembly, transport, and stability of functional class I molecules is thought to require beta 2 microglobulin (beta 2m), the light chain of the class I heterodimer. We show here that the requirem...

Translocation of peptides through microsomal membranes is a rapid process and promotes assembly of HLA-B27 heavy chain and beta 2- microglobulin translated in vitro

We have translated major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains and human beta 2-microglobulin in vitro in the presence of microsomal membranes and a peptide from the nucleoprotein of influenza A. This peptide stimulates assembly of HLA-B27 heavy chain and beta 2-microglobulin about fivefold. By modifying this peptide to contain biotin at its amino terminus, we could precipitate ...
