摘要:The amount of HL-A antigens present on the peripheral blood lymphocytes of a single human donor was increased about 11-fold after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin and 36-fold after transformation with Epstein-Barr virus. This increase applied to all four HL-A specificities of these cells. The response to phytohemagglutinin was dependent on dose and was first observed at 12 hr of incubation. Measurements of the amount of surface membranes by geometry, by radioiodinatable surface proteins, and by 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.5 ) assay all indicated that the enhanced representation of HL-A antigens after stimulation by phytohemagglutinin or transformation by Epstein-Barr virus must be due to an increase in the density of these antigens on the cell surface.
