Abstract:
This appendix lists reference Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) and the HLA types expressed by these cell lines. These B-LCL are useful for studies of cellular immunity (e.g., restriction of antigen-specific responses), biochemical characterization of histocompatibility molecules, and as controls for DNA-based typing methods.
