Investigating three pairs of HLA-DR (DRB1) identical unrelated persons on the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) it was found that HLA-DQ antigens provided slight proliferative stimulus which was, however, sufficient for the generation of CTL. The results indicate that the HLA-DQ antigens do play a similar role in clinical bone marrow transplantation as the HLA-DR specificities.
