Previous biochemical studies of HLA class I gene products were based on the use of radiolabelled lymphoblastoid cell lines and/or mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). We present here a nonradioactive methodology for defining HLA class I polymorphism on a small number of cells, such as 5 x 10(6) lymphocytes, the vitality of which is not a requirement in contrast to radiolabelling techniques, where 1-2 x 10(6) PBL are needed. We analyzed 54 serologically typed families with a total of 261 individuals and 214 haplotypes by one-dimensional isoelectric focusing and subsequent immunoblotting, using a polyclonal anti-class I heavy chain serum. The banding patterns segregated within families and correlated with the serological results. A substantial number of HLA-A and HLA-B products appeared biochemically heterogeneous allowing the definition of subtypes and the calculation of their frequencies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level. Gene Polymorphism,Genetic Polymorphism,Polymorphism (Genetics),Genetic Polymorphisms,Gene Polymorphisms,Polymorphism, Gene,Polymorphisms (Genetics),Polymorphisms, Gene,Polymorphisms, Genetic
D005787 Gene Frequency The proportion of one particular in the total of all ALLELES for one genetic locus in a breeding POPULATION. Allele Frequency,Genetic Equilibrium,Equilibrium, Genetic,Allele Frequencies,Frequencies, Allele,Frequencies, Gene,Frequency, Allele,Frequency, Gene,Gene Frequencies
D006239 Haplotypes The genetic constitution of individuals with respect to one member of a pair of allelic genes, or sets of genes that are closely linked and tend to be inherited together such as those of the MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX. Haplotype
D000483 Alleles Variant forms of the same gene, occupying the same locus on homologous CHROMOSOMES, and governing the variants in production of the same gene product. Allelomorphs,Allele,Allelomorph
D015151 Immunoblotting Immunologic method used for detecting or quantifying immunoreactive substances. The substance is identified by first immobilizing it by blotting onto a membrane and then tagging it with labeled antibodies. Dot Immunoblotting,Electroimmunoblotting,Immunoelectroblotting,Reverse Immunoblotting,Immunoblotting, Dot,Immunoblotting, Reverse,Dot Immunoblottings,Electroimmunoblottings,Immunoblottings,Immunoblottings, Dot,Immunoblottings, Reverse,Immunoelectroblottings,Reverse Immunoblottings
D015234 HLA-A Antigens Polymorphic class I human histocompatibility (HLA) surface antigens present on almost all nucleated cells. At least 20 antigens have been identified which are encoded by the A locus of multiple alleles on chromosome 6. They serve as targets for T-cell cytolytic responses and are involved with acceptance or rejection of tissue/organ grafts. Antigens, HLA-A,HLA-A,Antigens, HLA A,HLA A Antigens
D015235 HLA-B Antigens Class I human histocompatibility (HLA) surface antigens encoded by more than 30 detectable alleles on locus B of the HLA complex, the most polymorphic of all the HLA specificities. Several of these antigens (e.g., HLA-B27, -B7, -B8) are strongly associated with predisposition to rheumatoid and other autoimmune disorders. Like other class I HLA determinants, they are involved in the cellular immune reactivity of cytolytic T lymphocytes.
