タイトル Development of a novel monoclonal antibody that binds to most HLA-A allomorphs in a conformation-dependent yet peptide-promiscuous fashion.
ジャーナル Immunogenetics
Abstract Specificity analyses of peptide binding to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A molecules have been hampered due to a lack of proper monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for certain allomorphs, such as the prevalent HLA-A1 for Caucasians and HLA-A11 for Asians. We developed a mAb that recognizes a conformational epitope common to most HLA-A allomorphs. The mAb, named A-1, does not discriminate peptides by amino acid sequences, making it suitable for measuring peptide binding. A stabilization assay using TAP-deficient cell lines and A-1 was developed to investigate the specificity of peptide binding to HLA-A molecules. Regarding the evolution of HLA-A genes, the A-1 epitope has been conserved among most HLA-A allomorphs but was lost when the HLA-A gene diversified into the HLA-A*32, HLA-A*31, and HLA-A*33 lineages together with HLA-A*29 after bifurcating from the HLA-A*25 and HLA-A*26 branchs. The establishment of A-1 is expected to help researchers investigate the peptide repertoire and develop computational tools to identify cognate peptides. Since no HLA-A locus-specific mAb has been available, A-1 will also be useful for analyzing the locus-specific regulation of the HLA gene expression.
