V. Cukrova et al., The relationship between HA-1 compatability and the activation of helper Tlymphocyte precursors, IMMUNOBIOL, 203(4), 2001, pp. 699-704
The relationship between che compatibility in minor histocompatibility HA-1
antigen and the activation of helper (IL-2 producing) T lymphocyte precurs
ors in vine was studied in the group of 17 HLA-A2 positive HLA identical si
blings. Although the number of pairs studied is still small, no correlation
has been found between HA-1 compatibility and helper T lymphocyte precurso
rs activation. The results presented here could suggest the possibility tha
t the HTLp assay does not have to be a relevant parameter for the detection
of HA-l mismatches in HLA identical siblings.
