Abstract excerpt
MHC (called HLA in man) class II genes play an essential role in cell-mediated immunity. Absence of HLA class II Ag on B lymphocytes is the basis of some congenital immunodeficiencies (CID). We have studied CID by generating transient heterokaryons from cell lines of such patients, and we report...
