Journal ArticleDOI

The complete nucleotide sequence of the I-E alpha d immune response gene.

TL;DR: The absence of I-E antigen in H-2 mice is due to lack of E alpha chain synthesis, and it is shown here that this defect is caused by a deletion in the 5' end of the I-e alpha b gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human class II major histocompatibility antigen β -chains are derived from at least three loci

TL;DR: The results of experiments using restriction enzyme digestions and separation of DNA from individuals homozygous for the MHC followed by hybridization to human class II antigen α-10,11 and β-12–14 chain cDNA probes revealed a more complex pattern that is consistent with the existence of at least three separate β -chain genes or pseudogenes in the human MHC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for Multiple Thyroxine-binding Sites in Human Prealbumin

TL;DR: An increase in thebinding strength under conditions promoting ionization of the phenolic hydroxyls indicated that this group participates in the binding with prealbumin, and variations of pH exerted a marked influence on the association constants for the thyroid hormones and pre albumin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and identification of a cDNA clone corresponding to an HLA-DR antigen beta chain.

TL;DR: To identify pDR-beta-1, highly purified HLA-DR antigen beta chains derived from Raji cells were subjected to NH2-terminal amino acid sequence determination and displayed extensive homology with that deduced from the nucleotide sequence at the 5' end of the pDR
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of major histocompatibility antigens on pancreatic islet cells.

TL;DR: Analyses in the fluorescence-activated cell sorter revealed that greater than 95% of the cells in the beta-cell-rich fraction were fluorescent, providing further evidence that the pancreatic beta cells express the major histocompatibility antigens.
