We describe here two monoclonal antibodies with HLA-DR7 serologic specificity. The antibodies, SFR16-DR7M, a cytotoxic rat IgM antibody of high affinity, and SFR16-DR7G, a noncytotoxic antibody of the rat IgG 2a class, react with only DR7-positive cells in radioimmunoassay. The cytotoxic activity of SFR16-DR7M correlates completely with the presence of the DR7 specificity, and segregates with the DR7-bearing haplotype in a family. SFR16-DR7M precipitates a class II molecule with the electrophoretic characteristics of DR molecules from LG-10, an HLA-DR7 homozygous cell line. SFR16-DR7G completely inhibits the cytotoxicity of SFR16-DR7M, but only partially inhibits the cytotoxicity of a chimpanzee antiserum with DR7 specificity, Gay/Swei. In binding-inhibition studies, binding of SFR16-DR7M to LG-10 cells is only partially inhibited by the chimpanzee antiserum and vice versa. Both SFR16-DR7M and Gay/Swei reciprocally deplete the same class II molecules from a 35S-methionine-labeled detergent-solubilized membrane preparation of the LG-10 cell line. The chimpanzee serum Gay contains antibodies reactive with epitopes on separated DR7 beta chains, while both SFR16-DR7M and SFR16-DR7G bind only to DR7 alpha-beta complexes. These data suggest that at least two allogenic epitopes exist which result in the same serologic specificity, and that these epitopes differ in their requirement for alpha-beta complex formation.
