Murine pancreatic beta-cells express H-2K and H-2D but not Ia antigens
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct microcytotoxicity testing and absorption analyses were employed to determine whether H-2K, H-2D, and Ia antigens are present on murine islet of Langerhans cells. Products of the H-2K and H-2D loci were found on beta-cells from three different mouse strains, but I-region (Ia) antigens were not detected. The absence of Ia gene products from islet cells may be of importance in explaining the survival of islet allografts across major histocompatibility barriers.

Independent regulation of H-2K and H-2D gene expression in murine teratocarcinoma somatic cell hybrids
Cells of two teratocarcinoma stem cell lines (PCC4 azaguanine [aza] 1 and F9 5-bromodeoxyuridine [BrdU]) were fused with normal mouse spleen cells and mouse thymoma-derived cells (BW 5147), respectively. Hybrid clones were tested for the expression of molecules coded by the H-2K and -2D genes both by absorption analysis of conventional H-2 sera and by indirect antibody-binding radioimmunoassay ...

The murine major histocompatibility complex encodes H-2K and H-2D transplantation antigens and other class I-like proteins called Qa and Tla molecules; the functions of the Qa/Tla molecules are not known. That they may participate in embryonic cell-cell interactions and/or play a role in immune responses against tumors has been speculated. We have studied two murine embryonal carcinoma tumors, ...

Genes mapping in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) 1 regulate the cytotoxic response of murine lymphoid cells to foreign membrane-bound antigens. Cytotoxic T cells recognize viruses (1, 2), minor histocompatibility antigens (3, 4), and trinitrophenol (TNP) (5, 6) in association with H-2K and H-2D region gene products. This coordinate recognition of H-2 products and foreign antigens res...

Two monoclonal antibodies to mouse Ia antigens were produced by fusion of xenoimmune rat spleen cells with the NSI myeloma. These monoclonal antibodies detect polymorphic determinants present on B cells and activated T lymphocytes from mice carrying the H-2b, H-2d, H-2k, H-2r, and H-2q haplotypes but not from mice carrying the H-2s or H-2r haplotypes. Antigenic site number determinations showed...
