The study of immune phenomena dependent on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) would be greatly simplified by the use of MHC antigen-containing liposomes in various functional systems. Towards this end, we have constructed unilamellar phosphatidylcholine liposomes containing H-2 and Ia antigens. These molecules were not simply trapped within the aqueous compartment of the liposome as assessed by their accessibility to papain digestion. They were shown to be integrally inserted in the liposome bilayer because they could not be dissociated from the liposome with high salt and EDTA concentrations but could be solubilized by detergent. A sensitive radioimmunoassay showed that the Ia molecules were antigenically active in the liposome environment. Both Ia and H-2 antigens could be immunoprecipitated from detergent-solubilized liposomes. By comparing liposome-associated Ia activity in the presence and absence of detergent and by showing accessibility of the Ia antigens to papain, it was concluded that the majority of Ia antigens were exposed on the external surface of the liposome. These results suggest that the orientation of MHC antigens in liposomes closely parallels their natural orientation in the cell membrane.
