Lymphocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is a leukocyte cell adhesion protein. We have studied a novel human immunodeficiency disease in which LFA-1 and two other proteins which share the same .beta. subunit are lacking from the surface of leukocytes. The basis of the inherited defect in cell surface expression of both the .alpha. and .beta. subunits of LFA-1 was determined by somatic cell fusion of patient or normal human cells with an LFA-1+ mouse T cell line. Human LFA-1 .alpha. and .beta. subunits from normal cells could associate with mouse LFA-1 subunits to form interspecies hybrid .alpha..beta. complexes. Surface expression of the .alpha. but not the .beta. subunit of patient cells was rescued by the formation of interspecies complexes. These findings show that the LFA-1 .alpha. subunit in genetically deficient cells is competent for surface expression in the presence of an appropriate .beta. subunit, and suggest that the genetic lesion affects the .beta. subunit. The human LFA-1 .alpha. and .beta. subunits were mapped to chromosomes 16 and 21, respectively. The genetic defect is inferred to be on chromosome 21.
