Abstract excerpt
18 transfected cell lines were generated that expressed distinct DQ molecules related to the serologically defined HLA-DQw3 specificity. These transfectants were constructed using site-directed mutagenesis to introduce nucleotide substitutions into DQ3.2 beta cDNA, followed by retrovirus-mediated gene expression of the mutagenized genes in human B cell lines with different endogenous DQ alpha chains. The capacity...
