Abstract
The interaction of histocompatibility (HL-A) antibodies and complement with synchronized human lymphoid cells in continuous culture has been investigated. The sensitivity of cultured lymphoid cells to HL-A antibody-mediated lysis in the cytotoxic test, the extent of activation of the complement system, the degree to which labeled complement components are bound, and the ability of these cells to absorb HL-A alloantibodies do not vary significantly during the cell growth cycle. The constancy of histocompatibility antigen expression throughout the growth cycle of cultured cells suggests that these cell surface markers are an essential part of membrane cytoarchitecture and could well play a critical role in determining the normal function of the cell membrane.
