A20.2J B lymphoma cells have been co-transfected with the A alpha b, A beta b or with the A alpha b, A beta bm12 and neomycin resistance genes. The transfected cell lines constitutively express the I-Ab or I-Abm12 class II molecules at a level comparable with that of the endogenous I-Ad antigen. The I-Ab antigens expressed on three independently transfected B cell clones (A20.Ab.1, A20.Ab.2, and A20.Ab.3) are serologically and functionally indistinguishable from the I-Ab molecules expressed by control H-2bxd B hybridoma cells (LB cells). These transfected cell lines were potent I region-restricted antigen-presenting cells to a large panel of antigen-specific, autoreactive and alloreactive T cell hybridomas, as well as normal T cell clones. There were not significant differences in the efficiency of antigen presentation by the Ia molecules encoded by the transfected, as compared with the endogenous, I-A genes. The expression of a functional I-Ab antigen on the surface of cells transfected with A beta bm12 and A alpha b genes is consistent with previous work that implicated the A beta-chain alone in the bm 12 mutation. Furthermore, because the transfected A20.Ab and A20.Abm12 cells display the serologic and functional properties of normal spleen cells from the wild-type and mutant mouse strains, respectively, it is clear that class II genes do not undergo unexpected and unpredictable alterations after transfection in this system. This system permits us to investigate the structural requirements for interactions between class II major histocompatibility complex antigens, a foreign antigen, and the T cell receptor by in vitro site-directed mutagenesis coupled with DNA-mediated gene transfer.
