Two monoclonal antibodies detecting allotypic determinants of HLA-A
2008
Three mouse hybridomas producing cytotoxic antibodies against HLA were established. By standard microcytotoxicity test against panels of normal controls, the antigen defined by MA-9 antibody (IgM) showed a good correlation with HLA-A9 alloantigen detected by conventional typing alloantisera (r = 1.0). Family studies also showed that MA-9 determinant segregated with HLA-A9. MA-10 antibody (IgM) reacted with all HLA-A10 positive lymphocyte donors and cross-reacted with two thirds of HLA-AW33 positive donors. M1-1 antibody (IgG2a) reacted with all the panel cells tested and immunoprecipitated a molecule of 43,000 daltons from Nonidet P-40 lysates of 3H-glucosamine-labelled cells. The results showed that MA-9 and MA-10 antibodies can be used as routine tissue typing reagents.
