PG - 811-6 AB - Modulation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) was attempted by treating leukocytes with specific anti-HLA antiserum or by their passage through columns coated with anti-HLA or a double layer of HLA-anti-HLA. The modulated cells were resistant to the cytotoxic effects of the anti-HLA, and they were poor stimulators and good responders to allogeneic cells in the unidirectional mixed leukocyte reaction. Modulated cells regained their HLA 16 hr after modulation if kept in cell suspension alone. The proliferative responses of modulated cells to mitogens were as good as non-modulated cells, indicating that modulation was probably not caused by depletion of lymphoid cells. Supernatants of modulated cells that were incubated overnight or preformed HLA-anti-HLA complexes were capable of suppressing and enhancing the MLR of specific cells depending on the dose used. The similarities of modulation of HLA to other lymphocyte receptors and the limitation of application of the modulation phenomenon to transplantation of allogeneic cells are discussed.
