Abstract excerpt
We generated alloreactive DQ-specific CD4+ T-lymphocyte clones. One of these (TLC HH58) was only restimulated with cells having the DR4DQw4 haplotype or cells being DR4DQw8/DRw8DQw4 heterozygous. The former cells carry the DQA1*0301 and DQB1*0401 alleles in cis position while the latter cells carry DQA1*0301 and DQB1*0402 alleles (DQB1*0402 is identical to DQB1*0401 except for codon 23) in trans position. Thus,...
