Rat MHC class I cDNA (e.g. RT1.A1) can be expressed optimally as a heterodimer consisting of the rat heavy chain and the human beta2-microglobulin in the human B lymphoblastoid cell line Hmy 2 CIR, which offers several advantages. Gene expression was detected by flow cytometry using anti-human beta2-microglobulin and anti-rat heavy chain antibodies.
