The HLA-CW2 antigen of the B [bone marrow-derived] lymphoblastoid cell line BRI 8 is structurally homologous to the HLA-A and B antigens as judged by various criteria. Each antigen comprised a glycosylated polypeptide of 43,000 MW that is noncovalently associated with .beta.2-microglobulin (.beta.2m). Some small differences in molecular parameters were revealed. The deoxycholate-solubilized HLA-CW2 antigen sedimented at the same rate as the HLA-A antigens but at a slightly faster rate than the HLA-B antigens. This variation is apparently due to different amounts of bound deoxycholate. Whereas essentially all of the HLA-A and B antigens and about half of the HLA-CW2 antigen were strongly adsorbed by Lens culinaris lectin-Sepharose, the remaining HLA-CW2 antigen was bound much more weakly and did not require sugar for elution. This difference reflects some structural heterogeneity in the carbohydrate moiety of the HLA-CW2 antigen. The HLA-CW2 antigen is apparently expressed to a lower extent than the HLA-A or B antigens. Essentially all of the .beta.2m of the BRI 8 plasma membrane is probably associated with the HLA-A, B and C alloantigenic polypeptides.
