    Notes: Abstract Homozygous typing cells from 13 normal HLA-A1, B8, Dw3, DR3 and five normal HLA-A26, Bw38, Dw10, DR4 individuals were typed for the following markers: HLA-SB, MB, MT; complement proteins BF, C2, C4A, C4B; and GLO. Ninety-one percent of A1, B8, Dw3, DR3 homozygous individuals (HI) tested were homozygous for BF * S, C2 * C, C4A * QO, and C4B *1 (SCO1 complotype), which indicates that the SCO1 complotype is in linkage disequilibrium with the A1, B8, DR3 haplotype in randomly selected normal populations. Sixty-seven percent of HLA-A1, B8, Dw3, DR3, SCO1 positive HI also expressed SB1; since the frequency of SB 1 in random Caucasian populations is 11.2%, this finding indicates that SB1 is in linkage disequilibrium with the A1, B8, DR3, SCO1 extended haplotype. All HI with the A26, Bw38, Dw10, DR4 haplotype were homozygous for both SC21 and SB4, suggesting that SC21 and SB4 should be included in the A26, Bw38, Dw10, DR4 extended haplotype. On the other hand, neither of the GLO markers were found in association with either haplotype. The results of this study indicate that HLA-SB is included in some extended haplotypes and may be important in these markers for diseases such as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. This study also demonstrated an apparent influence of HLA-SB on primary mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) responses. The mean relative response of primary MLCs between individuals matched for HLA-A, B, D, DR, MB and MT but not SB was 40% of that for the MLCs with mismatched HLA-D, significantly higher than the MLCs matched for all HLA and complotypes.

    Notes: Abstract We have analyzed genomic DNA in a large number of independent examples of five HLA-DQw2-bearing extended haplotypes for their associated subtypes by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using DRB, DQA, and DQB probes after Taq I and Pst I digestion and Southern blotting. In addition to three previously described HLA-DQw2 subtypes, DQw2a, DQw2b, and DQw2c, we observed a fourth subtype, HLA-DQw2d, characterized by 5.8 kilobase (kb) DRB/Taq I, 2.4, 2.3, and 1.8 kb DQB/Taq I, and 8.0 and 2.3 kb DQA/Pst I fragments. All 22 independent examples of the extended haplotype [HLA-B8,SCO1,DR3] carried DQw2a and all 11 independent examples of [HLA-B18,F1C30,DR3] carried DQw2b. In addition, all independent examples (21 and 4, respectively) of two DR7-carrying extended haplotypes, [HLA-B44,FC31,DR7] and [HLA-Bw47,FC91,0,DR7], carried DQw2c and all independent examples of [HLA-Bw57,SC61,DR7] carried DQw2d. Our results show that the DNA in the DR/DQ region of extended haplotypes is relatively fixed and that different DQw2 subtypes characterize different DQw2-bearing extended haplotypes.

    Notes: Abstract Genomic probes from the HLA-B region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) were used to study the association of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) with various MHC alleles, complotypes, and extended haplotypes. The two DNA probes, M20A and R5A, were derived from previously cloned cosmids and are located 38 and 110 kilobases (kb) centromeric to HLa-B, respectively. Five different RFLP variants occuring in five different haplotypic combinations were detected within a panel of 40 homozygous-typing cells and cells from 21 families using Bst EII. In two informative families with HLA-B/DR recombinations the inheritance of the RFLP variants was consistent with their mapping between HLA-B and complotypes. The R5A/M20A haplotypic pattern 6.5 kb/3.0 kb (A) had a normal Caucasian frequency of approximately 0.43 and was found in all independent examples of the extended haplotypes [HLA-B8,SC01,DR3], [HLA-B18,F1C30, DR3], [HLa-Bw62,SC33,Dr4], [HLa-B44,SC30,Dr4], and [HLA-Bw47,FC91,0DR7]. The patterns of 6.9 kb/ 3.0 kb (B), 6.5 kb/4.7 kb (C), 1.45 kb/3.0 kb (D), and 6.9 kb/4.7 kb (E) had normal Caucasian frequencies of approximately 0.23, 0.15, 0.15, and 0.04 and were found on all independent examples of [HLA-B38,SC21, DR4], [HLA-Bw57,SC61,DR7], [HLA-B7,SC31,DR2], and [HLA-B44,FC31,DR7], respectively. Individual complotypes or HLA-B alleles which were markers of extended haplotypes showed variable associations. For example, HLA-B7 and the complotype SC31 were associated with all R5A/M20A RFLP haplotypes except haplotype E, although [HLA-B7,SC31,DR7] was associated exclusively with haplotype D. HLA-B27, not known to be part of an extended haplotype, was suprisingly exclusively associated with the 6.5 kb/4.7 kb or C haplotypic pattern in all five instances tested. These findings support the concept of regional conservation of DNA on independent examples of extended haplotypes. The results also further characterize these haplotypes.

    Notes: Abstract We analyzed the frequency distribution of 106 complotypes [four allele sets of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes for the complement proteins factor B, C2, C4A, and C4B] from 32 Black families residing in Boston and Washington, DC. Twenty-five different complotypes were identified, among which there were four complotypes that had not been previously observed in our large database of complotypes compiled from family studies of Boston Caucasians and that are, presumably, unique to individuals of African origin. These four African-derived complotypes areFC(1,90)0, FC63, S1C2,17, andSC(3,2,90)0. The frequencies of two of these four unique Black complotypes,FC(1,90)0 andFC63, were increased significantly when compared to Caucasians (pcorr 〈0.00042, pcorr=0.00294, respectively). The complotypeFC(1,90)0 was in positive linkage disequilibrium withHLA-DR3 haplotypes containing theB locus antigens Bw42, Bw52, Bw53, and Bw58, whileFC63 was associated withHLA-Bw70,-DR5. These findings demonstrate the extensive polymorphism of complotypes in Blacks, and also suggest that it may be possible to define unique extended haplotypes of African origin.

    Notes: Abstract A new mouse monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 4E, which detects an epitope shared by HLA-B locus antigens, together with the MoAb W6/32, detecting a common HLA, B, C, determinant, and the MoAb 4B, detecting HLA-A2 and A28, were used to isolate HLA-A and -B antigens in sequential immunoprecipitation. The HLA antigens obtained from metabolically labeled cell extracts of B-lymphoblastoid cell lines or from phytohemagglutinin (PHA) activated peripheral blood lymphocytes were compared by one-dimensional isoelectric focusing (1D-IEF). The IEF banding patterns obtained with native HLA antigens segregated in a family with HLA. Neuraminidase treatment of isolated antigens reduced the number of bands to one or two, simplifying the analysis of characteristic patterns. Thus, we have cataloged IEF banding patterns for the majority of the serologically recognized HLA-A and -B allotypes obtained from 57 unrelated American Caucasians. While no HLA-A locus or HLA-B locus specific banding patterns were observed, the HLA-A antigens had, in general, slightly higher pl values than the HLA-B antigens. HLA-C antigens could not be detected in this assay system. The polymorphism detected by IEF banding patterns was as extensive as the serologically detected polymorphism identified by classical HLA serology. Moreover, variants for some HLA allotypes could be detected by this method. In addition to previously recognized A2 variants, new variants were identified for HLA-A1, A26, and Bw44. Each A1 and Bw44 variant was associated with particular haplotypes. The HLA-A2 antigens occurred on 43 HLA haplotypes in the unrelated Caucasian population. Only one of each A2 variants was identified in this population.

    Notes: Abstract Three unrelated individuals with, respectively, lupus erythematosus, polyarteritis, and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and totally deficient in the second component of complement are demonstrated to be mutually poorly reactive in mixed lymphocyte culture and homozygous for the mixed lymphocyte reaction determinant (MLR-S or LD) short 7a (7a*). The gene controlling the elaboration of C2 in man is shown to be separate from, and probably to map outside of, the second locus ofHL-A and theMLR-S locus. Genetic linkage disequilibrium is strongly suggested between HL-A 10, W18, 7a*, and C2 deficiency.

    Notes: Abstract The HLA class I antigen B44 is found in each of two different extended major histocompatibility haplotypes (allele combinations of HLA-B, HLA-DR, and complement genes BF, C2, C4A, and C4B in linkage disequilibrium). Using isoelectric focusing, two variants of HLA-B44 were identified. The basic variant was found in all cell lines with the extended haplotype HLA-B44, DR7, FC31, and the acidic variant in all cell lines with the extended haplotype HLA-B44, DR4, SC30. The occurrence of each antigen variant with a unique extended haplotype explains previous observations concerning the nonrandom association of B44 variants with DR antigens.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic polymorphism in C4 in the chimpanzee was studied by agarose gel electrophoresis of desialated plasma and development of patterns by immunofixation with antiserum to human C4 and by a C4-sensitive hemolytic overlay. In general, immunofixation patterns showed multiple partially overlapping bands of which only the most cathodal had strong hemolytic activity. In analogy to human C4, the latter were designated C4B, whereas those detected by immunofixation which had little hemolytic activity were designated C4A. Chimp C4A and C4B reacted with human and mouse (monoclonal) anti-C4B and human anti-Ch1 but neither reacted with monoclonal anti-C4A or human anti-Ch2, Ch3, Rg1, or Rg2. On sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the alpha chain of C4B showed a slightly lower apparent relative mass than that of C4A at around M r 93 000. There were three C4A variants and two C4B variants inherited in families as autosomal codominant traits, as C4A-C4B cosegregating pairs with no detectable crossing-over. These pairs were inherited with chimpanzee leukocyte antigen types C2 and BF variants without detectable crossing-over. Half-null C4 haplotypes with C4B *Q0 were observed in family studies. Nine BF, C2, C4A, C4B allelic haplotypic combinations (complotypes) were identified among presumably unrelated chimpanzees.

    Notes: Abstract C4 protein variants were analyzed in 64 individuals, of which 51 were either homozygous or heterozygous for an extended major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotype (a fixed combination of MHC alleles). The relative amount of each C4 variant was measured by densitometric scanning of stained immunofixed electrophoretic patterns of neuraminidase- and carboxypeptidase-treated samples. The relative concentrations of C4 variants on any haplotype were stable and inherited in families. In five of the eight extended haplotypes investigated, the amount of one of the C4 variants relative to others in the same pattern was increased:[HLA-B8, SC01, DR3] and[HLA-B7, SC31, DR2] produced an approximately doubled amount of C4B1;[HLA-B18, S042, DR2] an increased amount of C4B2; and[HLA-B44, SC30, DR4] a double amount of C4A3. The extended haplotype[HLA-Bw57, SC61, DR7] gave rise to two to three times as much C4B1 as C4A6. In the extended haplotypes[HLA-B44, FC31, DR7] and[HLA-Bw62, SC33, DR4], the results did not clearly indicate differences in expression of the C4 isotypes. DNA analysis possibly supported an actual gene duplication only for the haplotype[HLA-B7, SC31, DR2]. The results suggest that, in addition to variation in the number of structural genes, other MHC-linked mechanisms may be involved in the regulation of the relative amounts of C4A or C4B protein specified by any haplotype.

    Notes: Abstract HLA-B 13 antigens were isolated from metabolically labeled cell extracts from Caucasian and Oriental donors by means of an HLA-B13-specific monoclonal antibody, SY1. Ethnic differences in B13 molecules were identified by one-dimensional isoelectric focusing in which the pI of desialated Oriental B13 molecules was found to be higher than that of Caucasians. An additional Caucasian variant pattern was detected by peptide mapping using limited proteolysis in sodium dodecyl sulfate analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Dual allotypic determinants for B13 molecules were recognized by two HLA-B13-specific monoclonal antibodies, SY1 and TU110, as determined by their sensitivity to complement-dependent cell lysis. Whereas the SY1 target epitope was shared by both ethnic B13 molecules, the two ethnic B13 molecules carried different Tu110 target structures. The Caucasian variant molecules appear to carry altered allotypic determinants which are recognized by both SY1 and Tu110 antibodies. This study suggests that the HLA-1313 private structure may comprise two epitopes recognized by SY1 and Tü 110 antibodies, respectively, whose binding sites overlap. Present data also suggest that the private determinant was already present when the two racial groups diverged, and thus the mutations which gave rise to the variants may be of relatively recent origin.
