Characterization of major histocompatibility complex-related molecule 1 sequence variants in non-human primates.

abstract：:The glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked antigen recognized by monoclonal antibody (mAb) MEM-102 is expressed on all peripheral blood lymphocytes, both resting and activated. Its properties are very similar to a previously described activation antigen, Blast-1. The amino acid sequence deduced from the structure ...

Previous study showed the presence of orthologues for both HLA-B and C in African apes but only for HLA-B in Asian apes. These observations suggested that the primate C locus evolved subsequent to the divergenc...
