Résumé
Neutrophil specific Fcγ receptor IIIb (CD16b) is a low-affinity IgG receptor. Its polymorphic variants are associated with human neutrophil antigens (HNA). HNA-1a and HNA-1b differ in four amino acids. Immunization can lead to the production of alloantibodies. The exact contribution of four amino acid exchanges for the formation of HNA-1a, -1b epitopes is currently unknown. Permutation of each polymorphic amino acid from wild-type CD16b cDNA constructs was performed and expressed on HEK293 cells. All 16 receptor variants were produced and tested against 19 well-characterized HNA antisera in an antigen capture assay. Analyzing the reaction pattern revealed that anti-HNA-1a antibodies can bind whenever asparagine (N) is present in position 65, regardless of the three other positions (CD16b *N**). Anti-HNA-1b antibodies can bind when serine (S) is present in position 36 (CD16b S***), when N is present in position 82 (CD16b **N*), or both (CD16b S*N*). CD16b variants with N65 and S36 and/or N82 (such as CD16b SNN*) bind both, anti-HNA-1a and anti-HNA-1b alloantibodies. If these specific amino acids are missing (as in CD16b RSD*), no antibodies will bind. Whereas the primary structure of HNA-1a and HNA-1b usually differs in four amino acids, epitope composition is not "antithetical". N65 alone determines the presence of HNA-1a, and S36 and/or N82 determine the presence of HNA-1b. Amino acid 106 does not participate in epitope formation. Our findings are of specific relevance when a HNA-1 phenotype is predicted from a genotype.

BACKGROUND
Neutrophil specific Fcγ receptor IIIb (CD16b) is a low-affinity IgG receptor. Its polymorphic variants are associated with human neutrophil antigens (HNA). HNA-1a and HNA-1b differ in four amino acids. Immunization can lead to the production of alloantibodies. The exact contribution of four amino acid exchanges for the formation of HNA-1a, -1b epitopes is currently unknown.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS
Permutation of each polymorphic amino acid from wild-type CD16b cDNA constructs was performed and expressed on HEK293 cells. All 16 receptor variants were produced and tested against 19 well-characterized HNA antisera in an antigen capture assay.
RESULTS
Analyzing the reaction pattern revealed that anti-HNA-1a antibodies can bind whenever asparagine (N) is present in position 65, regardless of the three other positions (CD16b *N**). Anti-HNA-1b antibodies can bind when serine (S) is present in position 36 (CD16b S***), when N is present in position 82 (CD16b **N*), or both (CD16b S*N*). CD16b variants with N65 and S36 and/or N82 (such as CD16b SNN*) bind both, anti-HNA-1a and anti-HNA-1b alloantibodies. If these specific amino acids are missing (as in CD16b RSD*), no antibodies will bind.
CONCLUSION
Whereas the primary structure of HNA-1a and HNA-1b usually differs in four amino acids, epitope composition is not "antithetical". N65 alone determines the presence of HNA-1a, and S36 and/or N82 determine the presence of HNA-1b. Amino acid 106 does not participate in epitope formation. Our findings are of specific relevance when a HNA-1 phenotype is predicted from a genotype.
