Abstract excerpt
To study the expression of HLA-DQ beta chain alleles associated with type 1 diabetes, mAbs were generated from mice immunized with synthetic peptides representing allelic HLA-DQw7 and HLA-DQw8 beta chain sequences. The splenocytes from immunized mice were fused with myeloma cells, either immediately after or following additional in vitro boosting with peptide. Peptide-specific mAbs, predominantly of the IgG...
