Population and family studies of five sera with antibodies against B-cell determinants show an excellent fit of some of them with the HLA-D determinants, suggesting that the HLA-D determinants themselves or closely linked structures can be recognized by serology. One serum, Ag, might be coded for by a locus different from HLA-D, which could be located between HLA-A and -B. A two-color fluorescence test to detect B-cell antigens was used and found to save time and reagents and to give very good results.

A modification of the NIH cytotoxicity test for recognizing B cell (D-associated) antigens and antibodies, when sera also contain anti-HLA(ABC) activity is described. The method is based on the observation that anti-beta2-microglobulin reagents are able to block lympholysis only when due to HLA(ABC) antigens.

It is well known that in some cases of mycosis fungoides the lymph nodes contain atypical mononuclear cells with a characteristic electron-microscopic morphology, first described in skin lesions of mycosis fungoides. Because it has been shown, that these cells have T-cell membrane characteristics the question can be raised, if these cells have other properties of T cells. One of these is a preferential localization in the T-cell dependent regions (paracortical areas) of the lymph node.

The HLA supergene codes not only for determinants present on all nucleated cells, but also for determinants present on B cells and absent from T cells and platelets.

In some patients with mycosis fungoides atypical cells ("mycosis cells") are found in the blood. Recently the T-cell membrane characteristics of these atypical cells have been described. In this paper the results of a study of the atypical cells isolated from the lymph nodes and the skin lesions of three patients with mycosis fungoides are presented.

As the test can be performed within 10 h it could be used to match cadaveric kidney donors for these MLC determinants. Perhaps even more important is the fact that the antibodies detected by this technique could be used to study the immunochemistry of a class of determinants differing from the well known SD determinants.
