Conservation and diversity in the class I genes of the major histocompatibility complex: sequence analysis of a Tlab gene and comparison with a Tlac gene

TL;DR: Comparisons of two Tla-region genes, T3b and its homologue T13c, allow us to conclude that these genes show extraordinarily high sequence conservation, in contrast to alleles of the H- 2K- and H-2D- region genes.
Conservation anddiversity intheclass Igenesofthemajor histocompatibili ty complex: Sequence analysis ofa Tiab geneandcomparison withaTlac gene (multigene family/thymus leukemia antigen/DNA sequence)

TL;DR: Comparison of T3b with other class I sequences intheH-2andQasubregions suggests that the T3-subset genes are the most divergent fromother class Igenes, and that these genes showextraordinarily high conservation, incontrast toalleles of theH- 2K- and H-2D-region genes.
