A common epitope between HLA-B27, -B13 and -B37 alloantigens defined by a monoclonal antibody.

An anti-HLA-B27 monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma technique is described. This BD.7 reagent is a cytotoxic IgM antibody.

A European workshop to investigate technical problems of using HLA monoclonal antibodies in microcytotoxicity assays.

Various methods for controlling carryover from monoclonal antibodies (MCA) used in the microcytotoxicity assay to detect HLA antigens were investigated by 45 European laboratories. Carryover was demonstrated in most laboratories when using standard techniques (i.e.

Anti-HLA-A2 and -A28 monoclonal antibody: production and study of the cross-reaction.

An anti-HLA-A2 and -A28 monoclonal antibody, XV.17, has been prepared by immunizing a Balb/c mouse with PBL. This XV.
