As opposed to normal human skin where HLA-DR expression is restricted to the Langerhans cell (LC) population, HLA-DR, but not HLA-DS antigens can be readily detected on keratinocytes (KC) in certain disease states, i.e., cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), and lichen planus (LP). To clarify the cellular origin of KC-bound HLA-DR antigens, we used a monoclonal antibody directed against determinants solely expressed on the cytoplasmic HLA-DR gamma chain (VIC-Y1) and observed that, by immunofluorescence, KC displaying HLA-DR alpha/beta complexes on their surface uniformly displayed cytoplasmic VIC-Y1 reactivity. In view of the crucial role of the gamma chain for HLA-DR biosynthesis, we conclude that HLA-DR antigens on KC are actively synthesized by these cells.
与正常人类皮肤不同,在正常皮肤中HLA - DR的表达仅限于朗格汉斯细胞(LC)群体,而在某些疾病状态下,即皮肤T细胞淋巴瘤(CTCL)、移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)和扁平苔藓(LP)中,角质形成细胞(KC)上可以很容易地检测到HLA - DR抗原,但检测不到HLA - DS抗原。为了阐明与KC结合的HLA - DR抗原的细胞来源,我们使用了一种针对仅在细胞质HLA - DRγ链上表达的决定簇的单克隆抗体(VIC - Y1),并通过免疫荧光观察到,在其表面显示HLA - DRα/β复合物的KC均一地显示出细胞质VIC - Y1反应性。鉴于γ链对HLA - DR生物合成的关键作用,我们得出结论,KC上的HLA - DR抗原是由这些细胞主动合成的。
