MATERIALS AND METHODS Cells and Antisera. HLA-B44 molecules were isolated from
the human plasma cell line Hmy2. ClR deficient in class I expression (Zemmour et al., 1992)
transfected with the HLA-B* 4403 cDNA. HLA-B44 full-length cDNA was obtained by PCR
amplification (DiBrino et al., 1993) of cDNA made from RNA isolated from the
humanlymphoblastoid B cell line W1B (HLA-A23,-A24,-B44). The cDNA was completely
sequenced to confirm identity to the published sequences for HLA-B* 4403 (Fleischhauer et …
