Popis: The whey prepared from human milk has been shown to contain the HL-A antigens of the milk donor. The inhibition of specific and nonspecific anti-HL-A alloantisera by the antigens in whey was assessed by a microcytotoxicity assay employing 51Cr release. After centrifugation at 100,000 g for 1 h, significant serologic activity could be demonstrated by the antigens contained in both the insoluble fraction and the soluble fraction. The serologic activity of the HL-A antigens in whey was specific and dose-dependent. The HL-A antigens were not equally represented within the soluble fraction when compared to their distribution in the insoluble fraction, and this may indicate some antigen destruction upon solubilization.
