Evidence for control of synthesis of the varible regions of the heavy chains of immunoglobulins G and M by the same gene.

abstract：:Previous studies have failed to detect an interaction between monomeric soluble CD4 (sCD4) and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins, suggesting that oligomerization of CD4 on the cell surface may be required to form a stable class II MHC binding site. To test this possibility, we transfected the F4...
