PG - 210-4 AB - We report human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I expression in 5-17% and class II in 0-9% of first trimester human spinal cord cells. After 8 days in culture with gamma-interferon, >87% of the spinal cord cells expressed HLA class II. However, mixed cultures of adult human peripheral lymphocytes and immature human spinal cord cells, showed no induction of lymphocyte proliferation prior to or after gamma-interferon exposure in culture. In conclusion, we report non-immunogenic expression of HLA antigens in the human first trimester spinal cord.
