Abstract excerpt
A beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m)-deficient kidney carcinoma cell line and three monoclonal antibodies to the alpha 1 (L31), alpha 2 (W6/32), and alpha 3 (Q1/28) domain of class I HLA molecules were selected to assess the role of beta 2m in regulating the conformation and surface expression of HLA-C molecules. HLA-A2, -B27, and -CW1 molecules synthesized by beta 2m-deficient cells were compared to heavy chains...
