Every tumor cell is equipped with an array of biologically active surface molecules, and several these function as receptors for various ligands. They include MHC, or in the case of humans, HLA antigens, cytokine receptors, cell-adhesion molecules, growth factor receptors, Fas/Fas-ligand molecules and others. Their expressions are a subject to alterations, usually to the advantage of tumor growth and spread. Some appear on tumor cells de novo, having no counterparts on the respective normal cells. Detailed knowledge about the expression of tumor-cell receptors and their genotypes, in particular of cancerous ones, may provide information essential for the creation of tools for specific tumor immunotherapy.

We compared HLA antigen expression on new B-lymphoblastoid cell line (B-LCL) HAJ with that on B-LCLs expressing normal HLA levels as well as on B-LCLs derived from bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS) patients and in vitro mutated B-LCLs of BLS-like phenotype. HAJ cells had no expression of HLA class II and low expression of class I antigens similarly to some of BLS B-LCLs, although HAJ cell line was derived from lymphocytes of HLA class I- and class II-normally expressing donor. HAJ cells displayed B lymphocyte markers, surface immunoglobulin and CD19. Culture of HAJ cells in the presence of interferon gamma resulted in HLA class I antigen upregulation, but did not restore class II expression. The cell line HAJ may prove useful for studies on factors influencing HLA class I cell surface expression.
