The expression of monomorphic Ia-like antigens and polymorphic (allotypic)
HLA-DR determinants on CFU-GM, BFU-E, CFU-E, and CFU-GEMM was studied in
bone marrow and peripheral blood cells from normal healthy individuals.
Using various polyclonal and monoclonal anti-Ia- like antibodies, the
presence of HLA-DR backbone antigens was shown on all hematopoietic
progenitor cells (HPC) studied, both in complement- dependent cytotoxicity
assays and in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The expression of
allotypic determinants was demonstrated on all HPCs, using the HLA-DR
typing sera anti-HLA-DR1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. The Class II antigen MT-2 was
also shown on all HPCs, using both monoclonal and alloantisera, whereas the
MB-1 (DC-1) determinant could not be demonstrated on HPCs. This might open
the possibility of removing MB-1-positive malignant cells from the graft in
autologous bone marrow transplantation.
