Popis: A human monoclonal antibody which reacts preferentially with HLA-DR4 and -DRw10 B-cell targets has been produced. A human B-cell line, secreting antibody which reacted preferentially with DR4 and DR1 targets, was derived from a highly sensitized kidney recipient who had rejected two grafts. This line was fused with the mouse myeloma P3X63Ag8.653 and a selected hybridoma cloned. The clones secrete IgM(λ), which reacts strongly with HLA-DR4 and -DRw10 and more weakly with -DRw14 and a proportion of -DR1 B cells in cytotoxicity assays. Using B-cell lines as targets in cytotoxicity and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, the antibody gives a broader pattern of reaction, reacting with HLA-DR1, -DR4, -DR9, -DRw10, -DRw14, and some -DR2 targets. The antibody (NI) is currently in use as a reagent for tissue typing.
