The major histocompatibility (MHC) class I antigens are coordinately expressed in most cells. However, some tumors or virus-infected cells lack expression of one MHC class I antigen, while expression of the other MHC class I antigens is unaffected. We previously described the selective expression of MHC class I antigens on a B-cell lymphoma from SJL J mice called RCSS. This tumor expresses H-2Ks, but has lost cell surface expression of H-2Ds. To understand the mechanism responsible for the selective loss of H-2Dson the cell surface, we analysed H-2DsmRNA and protein in the RCS5 tumor. Here we report that H-2DsmRNA was expressed in RCS5, but H-2Dsprotein was not detected in cell lysates. To determine whether the H-2DsmRNA from RCSS was able to direct the synthesis of H-2Dsprotein, we performed cDNA cloning, in vitro translation and gene transfer experiments using a cell line related to RCSS (cRCS-X). Our results indicated that the inhibition of H-2Dsexpression in cRCS-X occurred after transcription of a non-defective H-2DsmRNA. Furthermore, H-2Dsantigen expression was restored in cRCS-X using a retroviral vector to express the recombinant H-2DscDNA. These results indicate that the inhibition of H-2Dsexpression could be overcome either by out competing an inhibitor that functions in trans or by removing cis-acting regulatory sequences from the endogenous H-2DsmRNA.
