Effect of pregnancy plasma and monoclonal antibodies to HLA and DR antigens on leukocyte migration. 1984

U C Hegde, and R Rajan, and N D Chitnis

We studied the effect of pregnancy plasma and monoclonal antibodies to the histocompatibility antigens HLA and DR on migration of normal leukocytes from capillaries. It was observed that plasma from women in the first trimester of pregnancy significantly enhanced leukocyte migration at a concentration of 10% (mean area of migration = 50.7 +/- 9.2 cm2), as compared with plasma from nonpregnant women (22.8 +/- 7.0 cm2; p less than 0.05). This effect was less during the second trimester (39.5 +/- 3.5 cm2; p less than 0.05) and no enhancement was noted with plasma obtained from the third trimester of pregnancy. Similar results were obtained with a 20% concentration of plasma also. On the other hand, the monoclonal anti-HLA and anti-DR antibodies had an inhibitory effect on migration of leukocytes. These results are discussed in relation to the immunoregulatory role of pregnancy plasma in the nonrejection of the fetal allograft.

D001769 Blood The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (BLOOD VESSELS). Whole blood includes PLASMA and BLOOD CELLS.
D002464 Cell Migration Inhibition Phenomenon of cell-mediated immunity measured by in vitro inhibition of the migration or phagocytosis of antigen-stimulated LEUKOCYTES or MACROPHAGES. Specific CELL MIGRATION ASSAYS have been developed to estimate levels of migration inhibitory factors, immune reactivity against tumor-associated antigens, and immunosuppressive effects of infectious microorganisms.

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.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
