Natural killer (NK) cell clones have been previously described which are inhibited by HLA-C alleles with Asn77-Lys80 (NK1-specific cells) or by HLA-C alleles with Ser77-Asn80 (NK2-specific cells). In the present work, the generation of NK cells with HLA-B-related specificities was attempted by stimulation of a Bw4 homozygous responder by a Bw6 homozygous donor. Two NK clones were found, which were inhibited by HLA-Bw4 (but not by HLA-Bw6) allotypes and by some HLA-A allotypes that share the Bw4 public epitope. Inhibition of NK cell-mediated lysis strongly correlated with the presence of an Ile residue at position 80 of the protective allele. These NK cell clones define a new specificity termed NK3.
先前已描述了自然杀伤(NK)细胞克隆,其被具有Asn77 - Lys80的HLA - C等位基因(NK1特异性细胞)或具有Ser77 - Asn80的HLA - C等位基因(NK2特异性细胞)所抑制。在本研究中,尝试通过Bw6纯合供体刺激Bw4纯合应答者来产生具有HLA - B相关特异性的NK细胞。发现了两个NK克隆,它们被HLA - Bw4(而非HLA - Bw6)同种异型以及一些共享Bw4公共表位的HLA - A同种异型所抑制。NK细胞介导的细胞溶解的抑制与保护性等位基因第80位存在异亮氨酸残基密切相关。这些NK细胞克隆定义了一种新的特异性,称为NK3。
