Abstract

Abstract Thirteen monoclonal antibodies that react with monomorphic determinants on the HLA-A,B,C-beta  2-microglobulin (beta  2m) molecule were characterized. Analysis of antibody activity included inhibition by papain-solubilized HLA antigens and free beta  2m, antibody binding to mouse-human somatic cell hybrids containing human chromosome 6 or 15, and antibody cross-reactivity with lymphocytes from nonhuman species. Two criteria for monomorphism were established: 1) equal inhibition or absorption of antibody activity by all papain-solubilized HLA antigens or cell lines of different HLA specificities tested; and 2) nonpolymorphic cross-reactivity within another species or subspecies. On the basis of soluble antigen inhibition and binding to somatic cell hybrids, 3 classes of antibodies were detected: anti-beta  2m, anti-heavy chain, and anti-complex (against a combinatorial determinant formed by heavy chain and beta  2m). Antibody cross-reaction patterns in nonhuman species were suggestive that these monomorphic antibodies detect a limited number of determinants, minimally one on each chain and 2 combinatorial determinants. Examination of the known primary sequences for HLA-A2, HLA-B7, H-2Kb, and mouse, rabbit and human beta  2m provides a molecular explanation for this limited mouse anti-HLA monomorphic antibody activity.
