Compositional relatedness between histocompatibility antigens and human serum lipoproteins.

Human histocompatibility antigens and the protein part of Lp(a) lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein of human serum appear to be related when the amino acid compositions are compared. The Lp(a) lipoprotein appears to be closely related also to murine H-2(d) antigen. The results support the concept of a relation between serum lipoproteins and histocompatibility antigens on cell membranes.

Allotypy of high density lipoprotein of rabbit serum.

A common antigenic polymorphism of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in rabbit serum is described. The presence or absence of an antigen termed Hl 1 appears to be controlled by autosomal dominant inheritance. The polymorphism should be a useful tool in the study of serum lipoproteins, particularly since genetic polymorphisms within the low density lipoprotein are already known in several species. The Hl polymorphism may make the rabbit more useful for model studies of serum lipoproteins in health and disease.
