Recipient-antidonor alloreactivity before HLA genotypically identical bone marrow transplantation (BMT) between donor-recipient pairs that are negative in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), the cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) assay, and the lymphocyte crossmatch was not detectable in the majority of cases, using recipient peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) collected before BMT as responder cells and donor PBL as stimulator cells. However, when donor bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) instead of PBL were used as stimulator cells, we could detect donor-specific alloreactivity in 7 of 10 HLA genotypically identical donor-recipient pairs. To demonstrate that this alloreactivity was minor histocompatibility (mH) antigen specific and not directed against HLA class I splits or variants, two cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines were tested in further detail against phytohemagglutinin (PHA) blasts from pairs of HLA genotypically identical siblings positive for the HLA class I restriction molecule. Both CTL lines recognized mH antigens, as illustrated by the differential recognition of PHA blasts of one of the two siblings from several pairs. The potential role of these mH antigen-specific CTLs in bone marrow graft rejection was demonstrated by the mH antigen-specific growth inhibition of hematopoietic progenitor cells from the original bone marrow donor and from HLA class I restriction molecule-positive individuals who expressed the mH antigens on their PBL and BMMNC. Our assay can be used in HLA genotypically identical BMT to detect a recipient-antidonor response, directed against cellularly defined mH antigens expressed on donor HPC, BMMNC, and PBL, before transplantation.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D013602 T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS. There are two effector phenotypes: TC1 and TC2.

D015395 Histocompatibility Antigens Class I Membrane glycoproteins consisting of an alpha subunit and a BETA 2-MICROGLOBULIN beta subunit. In humans, highly polymorphic genes on CHROMOSOME 6 encode the alpha subunits of class I antigens and play an important role in determining the serological specificity of the surface antigen. Class I antigens are found on most nucleated cells and are generally detected by their reactivity with alloantisera. These antigens are recognized during GRAFT REJECTION and restrict cell-mediated lysis of virus-infected cells.

D015778 Minor Histocompatibility Antigens Allelic alloantigens often responsible for weak graft rejection in cases when (major) histocompatibility has been established by standard tests. In the mouse they are coded by more than 500 genes at up to 30 minor histocompatibility loci. The most well-known minor histocompatibility antigen in mammals is the H-Y antigen.
