Abstract

Two human monoclonal antibodies (HuMAbs) with widely different HLA specificities were raised from a uniparous HLA-seropositive female. Screening against a large panel of serologically HLA-typed lymphocytes in the complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that one of these HuMAbs, VP6G3, was specific for HLA-Cw1, thereby constituting the first HuMAb against an HLA-C locus product. The second HuMAb, VP5G3, was directed against an HLA-A-encoded determinant shared by HLA-A11, -A25, -A26 and -A66. The epitopes responsible for binding were determined by comparing the aminoacid sequences and were pinpointed to the 6K/9F combination for HuMAb VP6G3, and 163R with a critical contribution of aminoacids present at positions 166/167 for HuMAb VP5G3.
