We have characterized human retinal pigment epithelium (HRPE) for the expression of cell surface antigens. Primary HRPE cultures, established cell lines, and freshly brushed pigment epithelial cells all expess HLA-ABC but not HLA-DR antigens. However, both primary cultures and established cell lines can be induced by .gamma. interferon stimulation to express HLA-DR in a dose dependent manner. Only freshly brushed HRPE cells express Fc, and no cells demonstrated the presence of C3b. Our results show that HRPE cells change in culture, as reflected by the loss of Fc receptors, but retain the ability to synthesize HLA-ABC spontaneously and HLA-DR upon stimulation.
