Abstract excerpt
The cytotoxic IgM lambda human hybridoma mAb TrJ11 reacts with lymphoblastoid B-cell lines expressing DR4, DR8, DR11, and DRB1*1303. However, TrJ11 was monospecific when normal B cells freshly isolated from blood served as targets in that it only killed HLA-DR4-positive cells. Thus, of 235 HLA-typed persons TrJ11 was strongly cytotoxic for normal B cells of all 90 DR4-positive individuals, but it did not react...
