Does anybody know whether the HLA-DQ molecule has any association with apoptosis? We use the Dynal Dynabeads to isolate B cells for microlymphocytoxicity reactions and have noticed an abnormally higher (dead cell) background. One thought put to me was that the beads attached to the DQ molecule may initiate apoptosis. Any thoughts? Nick Acquarola
