Abstract
Hyperimmunized patients tend to accumulate on renal transplant waiting lists because their high level of sensitization leads to positive crossmatches with almost all potential organ donors. The origins of sensitization and the different efforts made to find cross-match negative donors for these patients are discussed. Special emphasis is given to a local strategy based on the determination of HLA-A and -B mismatches, against which the patient did not form allo-antibodies, the so-called acceptable mismatches. Kidney donor selection is based on compatibility with the patient's own HLA-antigens in combination with the acceptable HLA-A and -B antigens, and can be operated from a central organ-sharing office. The acceptable HLA mismatches are often identical with or include the non-inherited HLA class I antigens of the mother (non-inherited maternal antigens: NIMA).

Abstract
The toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the combination of recombinant interferon gamma (rIFN-gamma) and alpha (rIFN-alpha) was investigated in 15 patients with metastatic melanoma. Patients were treated with an escalating dose of rIFN-gamma and a fixed dose of rIFN-alpha administered s.c. 3 times a week. The maximum dose was well tolerated. The median survival time of the patients was 7 months; no clinical remissions were observed. In the majority of cases, expression of HLA class-I and -II antigens on the patients' peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes increased markedly during treatment. An increase in HLA-DR expression of peripheral blood T lymphocytes was correlated with a longer survival time. This suggests that activation of T lymphocytes may have a favourable influence on the course of metastatic disease. The in vitro anti-proliferative activity of IFNs on melanoma cell lines isolated from melanoma metastases during treatment of 3 patients was determined. In contrast to the lack of in vivo anti-tumour effect in patients, both rIFN-gamma and rIFN-alpha inhibited DNA synthesis of these melanoma cell lines in vitro, combined IFNs acting synergistically. Anti-proliferative activity observed in vitro occurred at IFN concentrations below the peak serum levels achieved in vivo.

Abstract
Vaccines prepared from Gram-negative bacteria isolated from the stools of HLA-B27 positive AS patients were used to immunize rabbits. Three of the sera obtained were lytic in vitro for the mononuclear cells of HLA-B27 positive AS patients. One of these sera discriminated between AS patients and healthy HLA-B27 positive individuals. Cytolysis was determined in an automated, non-radioactive assay based on the release of carboxyfluorescein diacetate and the incorporation of propidium iodide.

Abstract
A follow-up blind study, of the ability of "cross-reactive" antisera to distinguish between the cells of Dutch patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and normal controls, was performed in Leiden. Of the 45 cell samples tested, 29 were fresh peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells while 15 were cryopreserved PBM. No false positives but one false negative was identified among the 45 samples, and the "negative" was confirmed after the recoded cryopreserved cells from this patient were retested. It is concluded that the "cross-reactive" antisera raised in Sydney give good discrimination between patients and normals. Factors affecting the success of the 51Cr-release cytotoxicity assay, and possible reasons for the failure of others to confirm these observations, are briefly discussed.

Abstract
TCA (T Cell system A) is a di-allelic system of HLA-like antigens encoded by genes located about 15 cM telomeric to HLA-A. In normal individuals, TCA antigens are only expressed on a subpopulation of T cells, the TG lymphocytes. We now report on the expression of TCA on leukemias and other malignancies. An increased proportion of cells carrying the TCA phenotype was encountered in testing peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with acute lymphoblastic T-cell leukemia (T-ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In contrast, patients with B-cell malignancies such as chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL) and hairy cell leukemia (HCL) or non-T/non-B common acute lymphoblastic leukemia (common ALL) had normal proportions of TCA-positive lymphocytes. Quantitatively different levels of TCA expression are found on some melanoma cell lines and others are TCA negative. These variations are independent of the expression of HLA Class I antigens by the same cells. The expression of TCA antigens by malignant nonlymphoid cells suggests that this system may code for differentiation markers, important in the biology of neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
Sera from multiparous women and renal transplant recipients were screened for the presence of anti-monocyte antibodies. Reactions caused by anti-HLA antibodies were excluded by using panel cells that were HLA-compatible with the antibody producers. Six sera with monocyte-specific antibodies were identified, and at least two monocyte-specific (probably allelic) antigens could be recognized. The perspective of the clinical significance of typing for monocyte-specific antigens is discussed.

Abstract
Two different alloantigenic systems, expressed mainly on TG and TM lymphocytes and called TCA and TCB, respectively, are described. Alloantisera from parous women are absorbed with Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell lines from the husband of the serum producer to remove all anti HLA-A,B,C and DR antibodies. The absorbed sera are tested against a random panel and against lymphocytes from families. Family studies indicate that the TCA system might be encoded by a gene linked to HLA and located on the telomeric side of HLA-A. The total lod scores for the material of 15 informative families is +3.301 at a recombination fraction of 15%. Furthermore we can show that the TCA molecule is associated with beta 2-microglobulin by blocking with turkey anti-beta 2 microglobulin. The antigens are dimers of peptides with a molecular weight of approximately equal to 42,000 daltons and 12,000 daltons, respectively. This implies that TCA might be equivalent to either Qa or Tla in the mouse. For the TCB system no evidence is found for linkage with any known genetic marker. Only in random population studies is an association seen between TCB and Gm.

Abstract
In order to investigate if genes conferring susceptibility to leprosy and/or predisposition to a particular leprosy type are linked to HLA, we performed HLA-A and HLA-B typing on members of 29 families containing at least two siblings affected with leprosy from a leprosy endemic area in Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China. Moreover, we performed a lepromin test in nearly all of the members of eight families containing at least two siblings affected with lepromatous leprosy. For 26 families the data permitted analyses of the segregation of parental HLA-haplotypes observed among children in relation to leprosy status. Siblings affected with lepromatous (LL or BL) leprosy shared parental HLA-haplotypes significantly more often than expected (p less than 0.05), and a highly significant deficit (p less than 0.0005) of shared HLA-haplotypes was observed among affected siblings discordant for leprosy type. These data confirm the HLA-linked control of leprosy type and, in particular, recently obtained evidence for linkage of predisposition to lepromatous leprosy with HLA. Healthy siblings did not share a haplotype more often than expected, and those haplotypes which were shared among all leprosy patients of a sibship did not occur less frequently than expected among the healthy siblings of the same sibship. The latter data confirm the absence of linkage of genes conferring susceptibility or resistance to leprosy with HLA. An analysis of the lepromin test results observed among healthy siblings showed no evidence for cosegregation of the results with HLA.

Abstract
Using the cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) technique, we studied lymphocytes of six individuals with discrepancies between the karyotypic and phenotypic sex. Two sets of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) obtained from two multitransfused female aplastic anemia patients were used as typing reagents. These cells were previously shown to kill allogeneic target cells from HLA-A2- or B7-positive male donors. An antiserum obtained from one of the patients likewise killed HLA-A2 male lymphocytes. The six patients studied were selected for the required antigens. Positive reactions were obtained with lymphocytes from a 46,XY woman with pure gonadal dysgenesis and a 45,XO male. Target cells of the mother of the latter patient were also lysed. One individual with a 45,XO/46,X,del(Y)? karyotype was weakly positive, while three 46,XX males were completely negative. The reactivity of the HLA-A2-restricted H-Y-specific antibody showed the same discriminatory patterns. The results obtained by the HLA-restricted CTLs as well as by the antiserum did not correlate with the presence of testes as is the case in a different test system for the serologically detectable male (SDM) antigen in man. On the other hand, there was a correlation with the presence of cytologically detectable Y-chromosome material in five of the six individuals studied. The HLA-restricted CTLs and the antibody might recognize the classical transplantation antigen H-Y.

Abstract
The serological recognition of 'new' gene products of the HLA system can be accomplished by selecting sera with strong leucocyte antibodies and testing these against a panel of cells obtained from donors which are compatible for the known HLA antigens with the antibody producer. This approach, which we termed the HLA-CAP approach (compatible with antibody producer), was essential in the recognition of what is now called the HLA-DR locus and of non HLA-linked T-cell subgroups. Using the same technique, we have defined here several sera recognizing a structure on monocytes similar to one of the alleles of the HLA-linked PL3 or secondary B-cell (SB) system, so far only recognized by cellular techniques.

Abstract
The relation of HLA-D and -DR determinants was studied in Dutch Caucasoids. The recognition of subgroups of DR4, DR5, and DR7, and the specificities LB12 and LB13 are described. Phenotype and gene frequencies and a Hardy--Weinberg analysis of DR and local (LB) B-cell groups are given. Excellent correlation between D and DR typing was obtained when HTCs were studied by selected B-cell antisera. When the same sera were used to type a panel of D typed cells, the correlation was decreased (with the exception of DR3 and Dw3). In the case of discrepancies the DR specificity, but not the corresponding D specificity, always could be found and not the other way around. The data fit best the assumption that HLA-D and -DR are carried by the same molecule, although they might be different determinants on this molecule. A number of possible explanations for the observed discrepancies has been given.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that influenza virus-immune cytotoxic T lymphocytes can recognize virus in conjunction with self HLA-A2 antigens. Nevertheless, the virus-infected target cells from one HLA-A2-positive male donor (designated M7) could not be lysed by the virus-immune cytotoxic lymphocytes from any HLA-A2-matched unrelated donors. Although extensive serological analyses showed no difference between the HLA-A2 antigens of donor M7 and other HLA-A2-positive donors, isoelectric focusing of the HLA-A2 molecule from donor M7 revealed a clear difference in the heavy polypeptide chains when compared with the HLA-A2 molecules of other donors. The present study demonstrates that the HLA-A2-restricted anti-H-Y cytotoxic T lymphocytes obtained from a female aplastic anaemia patient fail to lyse the male M7 target cells, whereas the HLA-A2-restricted anti-H-Y antibodies from the same patient react with the cells of donor M7. These results suggest that: (a) HLA-A2-restricted anti-H-Y antibodies can recognize self determinants on the HLA-A2 molecule that are distinct from those that are recognized by HLA-A2-restricted anti-H-Y cytotoxic T cells; and (b) HLA-restricted T and B cells may use different receptor repertoires for the recognition of foreign antigens such as H-Y.

Abstract
Sera obtained from multiparous women and some of other origin contain antibodies which react with antigens on T cell subsets. These antibodies recognize two distinct diallelic systems, one of which is mainly present on T gamma cells while the other is present on T mu cells. The sera that reacted with the T gamma cells formed a pattern consistent with that of a diallelic system which we have called TCA system with alleles TCA 1 and TCA 2; the sera which reacted with the T mu cells formed a pattern consistent with another diallelic system, independent from TCA, which we have designated the TCB system, with alleles TCB 1 and TCB 2.

Sera from multiparous women contain antibodies against T cell subsets. Population and family studies of four anti-T cell-subset antibodies are given. Two of these reacted with part of the suppressor T cell fraction (T gamma) and two with part of the helper T cell fraction (T mu) cells. By mixing T gamma- and mu-enriched cell suspensions in different concentrations, preliminary evidence was obtained that the anti-T cell-subset sera recognized T cells that had different functions in pokeweed mitogen-stimulated cytoplasmic immunoglobulin synthesis.

Abstract
A group of 43 Australian Aborigines was typed for HLA--DR determinants and other antigens on B cells, using pregnancy sera from Caucasoid women. The group could not be considered as random, since a selection was made for an equal number of Au antigen positive and Au antigen negative individuals The typing results showed that the specificities DRw2, 4 and 8 were as well defined in this population as in Caucasoids, whereas the specificities DRw1, 3, 5 and 7 could not be defined. Even more interesting was the finding that a cluster of six sera, defining the local B cell specificity LB12, gave positive reactions in 41 out of 43 Aborigines. Although LB12 is found to be highly associated with DRw1, 2 and 6 in the Caucasoid population, in 36 cases the LB12 positive Aborigines could not be demonstrated to carry the specificities DRw1 or 2. The recognition of DRw6 is difficult at the moment and for the reason its presence or absence in this material is uncertain. However, three individuals typed positive for DRw4 and 8 and for LB12 as well. These findings strongly support the hypothesis that the genes coding for LB12 and its postulated allele LB13 are separate from the genes coding for the known DR determinants. LB12 is very likely identical to the recently described determinants DC1 (Tosi & Tanigaki 1979) and MB1 (Duquesnoy et al. 1979a).
