Abstract excerpt
Histocompatibility (H) Ags are responsible for chronic graft rejection and graft vs host disease in solid tissue and bone marrow transplantation among MHC-matched individuals. Here we defined the molecular basis of self-nonself discrimination for the murine chromosome 7 encoded H47 histocompatibility locus, known by its trait of graft-rejection for over 40 years. H47 encodes a novel, highly conserved cell surface...
