Abstract excerpt
The human trophoblast-derived JAR cell line, that does not express polymorphic HLA class I antigens even after IFN induction, can be stably transfected by genomic clones encoding the entire HLA-A2, -A3 and -B7 alpha-chain genes. The transfected genes were expressed at the cell surface in association with endogenous beta 2-microglobulin (shown by FCM analysis) as a single allelic product without reexpression of...
