Abstract excerpt
A chimeric class I glycoprotein was created to investigate the functional contribution of the alpha helices and the beta-pleated sheets in forming the antigen recognition site (ARS) of antigen-presenting molecules. This novel molecule was generated by replacing the DNA sequences encoding the alpha helices of the Ld gene with the corresponding sequences from the Kb gene. Serologic analysis of transfected L cells...
