Expression variations among HLA-Bw6 alleles.

Forty-three healthy donors (Figure 1—source data 1) with either heterozygosity for HLA-Bw4/Bw6 or homozygosity for HLA-Bw6 alleles were sorted into six groups based on their Bw6 alleles. ABC values were calculated by flow cytometry based on staining freshly isolated PBMCs with anti-Bw6 or W6/32 and normalizing the resulting geometric MFI values against beads with known amounts of Fc receptors. Averaged ABC values for each donor are shown, grouped by the donor’s HLA-Bw6 alleles and lymphocyte subset analyzed (B cells (top row), CD4+ T cells (second row), CD8+ T cells (third row), and NK cells (last row)). For homozygous donors, 50% of the derived ABC values are plotted. Bw6 ABC values alone (column 1), W6/32 ABC values alone, (column 2) and the Bw6/W6/32 ABC ratios (column 3) are shown. The number of replicate measurements for each donor and standard errors of the mean are shown in Figure 1—source data 1. Statistically significant differences between alleles were analyzed by one-way ANOVA analysis for each cell type. Each dot represents averaged Bw6, W6/32, or Bw6/W6/32 ABC measurements (n > 3) from a single donor. p *<0.05; **<0.01; ***<0.001; ****<0.0001. This figure has five supplementary figures and one source data table.

Representative RT-PCR measurements of HLA-B and total class I RNA levels for donors expressing indicated Bw6 alleles.

Three technical replicates with the same cDNA samples were conducted and a one-way ANOVA analysis of the 2-ΔCt values was used to determine significance. Each dot represents the mean 2-ΔCt values across three technical replicates from isolated cells from individual donors expressing the indicated HLA-B allele. Neither the HLA-B specific primer (top panels) nor the total Class I primer (lower panels) showed significant differences in mRNA levels. There was a trend of higher expression in CD8+ T cells but it did not rise to significance. This result was consistent across two biological replicates comparing alleles that showed differences in ABC measurements.

HLA class I assembly differences between monocytes and lymphocytes.

A: Flow cytometry experiments measuring W6/32-based staining of cell surface HLA class I (fixed PBMCs) expressed as a ratio relative to W6/32-based staining of total HLA class I (fixed and permeabilized PBMCs). Each point represents an individual donor measurement, and a total of 33 donor samples were tested. B: PBMCs were fixed and permeabilized, then stained with either anti-tapasin or W6/32 antibodies. The ratio of tapasin MFI relative to the W6/32 MFI was calculated for each cell type, then normalized to the corresponding monocyte ratios. Each point represents an individual donor measurement, and a total of 29 donor samples were tested. C and D: Summary statistics from two ImageStream experiments with three donors in monocytes (C) or CD4+ T cells (D). Bw6 and AP-1 co-localization, Bw6 and CRT co-localization, and Bw6 and LAMP-1 co-localization were quantified for donors 94 and 64. Only Bw6 and AP-1 co-localization was measured for donor 237. E and F: Representative monocyte (E) or CD4+ T cell (F) images for the experiments summarized in Panels C and D. This figure has five supplementary figures and one source data table.

Imaging cytometry co-localization source data.

The data represents one imaging cytometry experiment performed on two donors: 94 and 64. Genotypes for donors 94 and 64 are indicated in Figure 1—source data 1. In monocytes and CD4+ T cells, Bw6 colocalization is quantified with three different intracellular markers: AP-1 (top), calreticulin (middle), and LAMP-1 (bottom). In imaging cytometry experiments, co-localization is quantified as Bright Detail Similarity (BDS), which is the degree of overlap between the two markers of interest. The red columns represent cell population gates with a high degree of co-localization, yellow columns represent cells with intermediate co-localization, and blue columns represent cells with low co-localization. Intermediate co-localization was calculated only for Bw6/AP-1 co-localization. The first row for each donor is the quantification of the cell count within each gate, the second row is the percentage of cells within a gate, relative to the total number of cells in the previous gate, and the final row is the median BDS for each population. In each cell population, the Bw6+ M2+ column represents cells that are double positive for Bw6 and the second co-localization marker (Marker 2; M2). M2 is AP-1 for the top table, calreticulin for the middle table, and LAMP-1 for the bottom table.

Figure 4—figure supplement 2
Gating strategy for imaging cytometry experiments.

PBMCs were analyzed on the Amnis ImageStreamX imaging cytometer and gated for cell populations. These populations were then analyzed for colocalization of Bw6 with either AP-1, calreticulin (CRT), or LAMP-1. Gating strategies for monocytes and CD4+ T cells are shown in panel R2. In this panel, CD3-Pacific Blue is plotted on the X axis, and CD8-Alexa Fluor 700 and CD14-Alexa Fluor 700 are plotted on the Y axis. CD4+ T cells were identified by gating on the CD3+, CD8- cells (gate R3), and monocytes were identified by gating CD3-, CD14+ cells (gate R4). These populations were then gated on cells that were double positive for the two co-localization markers of interest, and these double positive cells were analyzed for Bright Detail Similarity (BDS) in panels R5 and R8. BDS is a quantification of the degree of overlap between two markers. Thus, cells with a high BDS score have a high degree of co-localization between the two markers analyzed. Panels R5 and R8 show the gates used to quantify cells with high, intermediate, and low co-localization.

Lymphocyte HLA-B*35:01 and HLA-B*07:02 are receptive to exogenous peptides.

PBMCs were freshly isolated from healthy donors expressing one copy of the indicated HLA-B allele and incubated with 100 μM of specific or matched control peptides for each allotype for four hours at 37°C. The cells were then stained with an antibody cocktail containing antibodies to differentiate lymphocyte subsets, as well as HC10, a monoclonal antibody that recognizes peptide-deficient HLA class I molecules. The data are shown for CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, B cells, NK cells, and monocytes. Data are representative of 1-2 separate measurements for each donor, with 3-5 donors per allele, as specified in Figure 5—source data 1. This figure has one source data table.

Neither study included HLA-B*37:01, which belongs to the B44 supertype, and thus is expected to have a motif similar to B*44:02. B*13:02 was described in Pearson et al. (2016), but epitope prediction tools are not well-developed for this allotype.

Models for allele-dependent variations in HLA-B cell surface expression, stability and exogenous antigen receptivity in lymphocytes and monocytes.

HLA class I molecules are assembled in the ER and traffic to the cell surface via the Golgi network. Cell surface HLA class I is internalized into the lysosome for degradation. Steady state surface expression is determined by the net rates of intracellular assembly, trafficking and loss from the cell surface. Top: In lymphocytes, optimal peptides are assembled with tapasin-dependent alleles such as HLA-B*08:01, for which the ER peptide pool is not limiting. Additionally, HLA-B*08:01-peptide complexes have a more buried peptide, due to ionic interactions mediated by D9 of B*08:01 with peptide residue 5, which is predicted to confer high stability to the complexes. In contrast, the ER peptide pool is limiting for HLA-B*35:01 and HLA-B*07:02 (due to mismatch between their peptide-binding specificities and TAP transport specificity), but their high intrinsic stabilities and tapasin-independent assembly characteristics allow escape from the ER to the cell surface. These sub-optimally loaded complexes have higher receptivity to exogenous peptides. The ER peptide pool is limiting for HLA-B*51:01 (due to mismatch between its peptide-binding specificities and TAP transport specificity). The requirement for tapasin-dependent assembly (related to low intrinsic stability of the peptide-deficient form) may result in low cell surface accrual and expression. Bottom: The B7 supertype members (B*07:02, B*35:01 and B*51:01) have induced expression in monocytes relative to lymphocytes, despite the mismatch between their peptide binding preferences and TAP transport specificity, suggesting an alternative source of peptides, such as those that may be found in the AP-1+ compartments. In contrast, the highly tapasin dependent HLA-B*08:01 and HLA-B*44:02 have lower surface expression or induction and stability relative to lymphocytes, possibly due to slow assembly in the same AP-1+ compartment, compounded by a reduced ratio of tapasin relative to HLA class I in the ER. This figure has one source data table reflecting all blood donor demographics.
