Mutant human B-lymphoblastoid cell lines, 721.174 and 721.180, that have greatly reduced expressions of known class I and class II HLA antigens were produced by two cycles of gamma-ray mutagenesis followed by selection for HLA antigen loss. Residual binding of monoclonal antibodies directed against class II antigens was negligible except for 10% residual binding of SB-binding antibody ILR1. However, deletion of SB was functionally complete as indicated by failure of the mutants to stimulate proliferation of SB-primed lymphocytes. Residual binding of monoclonal antibodies directed against class I "framework" determinants was reduced by 90-95%. However, the binding of monoclonal antibodies directed against beta 2-microglobulin and against the A2 epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody BB 7.2 was about 20% of normal. The identities of the residual class I-like antigens are unknown. The mutants retained full expression of the EBV-induced EBVCS antigen. Mutants 721.174 and 721.180 have lost most, but definitely not all, of their capacity to stimulate primary allogeneic and autologous lymphoproliferative responses. Therefore, the mutants still express antigens other than those that are presently known to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation. By means of studies of the present sort, and in future studies on expression of transferred HLA genes, mutants 721.174 and 721.180 promise to be useful in molecular and functional analysis of MHC-region-encoded gene products and their genetic regulation.
