Journal ArticleDOI
A novel family of human major histocompatibility complex-related genes not mapping to chromosome 6
Franco Calabi,C. Milstein +1 more
TL;DR: The isolation of complementary DNA (cDNA) clones encoding a CD1 antigen reveal a novel family of genes which are MHC-related but are neither equivalent to mouse TL antigens nor linked to the MHC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two classes of CD1 genes
TL;DR: Sequence comparison shows that, while R2 is most related to CD1a, ‐b and ‐c, albeit to a somewhat lower degree than the latter are to themselves, R3 is more homologous to mouse than to human CD1, suggesting the existence of two functional classes within the CD1 gene family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mouse CD1 is distinct from and co-exists with TL in the same thymus.
TL;DR: The murine CD1 genes are analysed and it is demonstrated conclusively that CD1 and TL are distinct and can co‐exist in the same thymus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CD1 system.
Franco Calabi,Andrew Bradbury +1 more
TL;DR: Article synthese sur la structure moleculaire, le polymorphisme, et alignement de sequences aminoacide sur l'antigene CD1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum β2-microglobulin binds to a T-cell differentiation antigen and increases its expression
TL;DR: It is shown here that addition of human and bovine β2m to MOLT-4 and NH17 cells grown in serum-free medium produces a significant elevation of HTA 1 antigen expression, providing evidence for a regulatory or stabilizing function for the exchange of extracellularβ2m with a cell-surface antigen.
