Salt extraction of soluble HL-A antigens
Abstract
Extraction of cultured human lymphoid cells with hypertonic salt solutions (3 molar potassium chloride) resulted in high recoveries of membrane-associated histocompatibility (HL-A) antigens in soluble form with potent activity and marked immunologic specificity. The active principle was purified by preparative acrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Application of the hypertonic salt extraction method is now yielding sufficient HL-A antigen to begin the elucidation of the molecular basis of transplantation individuality.
