Mouse HLA-DPA homologue H2-Pa: A pseudogene that maps between H2-Pb and H2-Oa

Journal Article · · Immunogenetics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00176676· OSTI ID:501871
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II subregion contains several subclasses of genes. The classical class II genes, HLA-DP, DQ, and DR homologues, present antigens directly to CD4{sup +} T cells. HLA-DM homologues facilitate the efficacy and transport of antigens to the cell surface by removing the CLIP peptides from the classical class II molecules. HLA-DNA/DOB homologues show unusual expression patterns and limited polymorphism, but their function is yet to be elucidated. 15 refs., 2 figs.
