Frequency of alloantibodies reacting with PHA-activated T lymphocytes, unexplainable by known HLA activities. 1980

S J Kim, and F T Christiansen, and I Gosar, and D M Silver, and M S Pollack, and B Dupont

Two hundred and three sera obtained from multiparous women were screened to determine the frequency of the appearance of antibodies reactive with PHA-activated T lymphocytes, but not with resting B or T cells from the same donor. The panel of cells on which the sera were tested consisted of lymphocytes from 38 unrelated donors known to be homozygous at the HLA-D locus. Forty-two sera were shown to react uniquely with PHA-activated T cells. The reactivities of these sera could not be explained in terms of the defined HLA-A,-B,-C, or DR antigen specificities on the panel cells, nor on the basis of known cross-reactivities among these antigens. Most of the antisera showed strong cytotoxicity with the activated T cells. Such sera may define antigens presented to the maternal immune system during differentiation and development, which are not expressed on adult T cells unless they are activated.

D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007518 Isoantibodies Antibodies from an individual that react with ISOANTIGENS of another individual of the same species. Alloantibodies
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D010835 Phytohemagglutinins Mucoproteins isolated from the kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris); some of them are mitogenic to lymphocytes, others agglutinate all or certain types of erythrocytes or lymphocytes. They are used mainly in the study of immune mechanisms and in cell culture.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.
