Abstract
The HLA-A2 and HLA-Aw69 molecules share an antigenic determinant not expressed by HLA-Aw68 and HLA-A3. Comparison of the amino acid (aa) sequences of these molecules and previous studies of the antigenic determinant expressed by different HLA-A2 .times. HLA-A3 hybrid molecules had established that three aa at positions 95, 97, an 107 were possibly involved in the formation of this determinant. The HLA-A3 gene was therefore mutagenized to replace successively at these positions the HLA-A3-specific aa by the HLA-A2 residues. A single substitution at position 107 of a glycine by a tryptophan residue is sufficient for full expression by HLA-A3 molecules of the HLA-A2/Aw69 shared antigenic determinant without modification of the other serological reactivities characteristic of the HLA-A3 molecules. Previous studies of ethyl methanesulfonate mutants having shown the involvement of aa 161 in this determinant, we assume that the two aa residues 107 and 161 are close to each other.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
