Abstract

The structural relationship of histocompatibility antigens W4 and W6 with other surface markers on cultured human lymphoid cells of the B type has been investigated, utilizing the lysostrip technique. W4 and W6 antigens were found to be structurally associated with antigens coded for by theB locus of theHLA region, but independent of receptors for breakdown products of the third complement component and xenogeneic red blood cells, and of antigenic moieties reacting with antibodies present in H-2 alloantisera.
