Abstract excerpt
Both serological and DNA sequence analyses were performed to determine the extent of genetic polymorphism in Q region genes. A panel of Qa-2-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was tested on 35 wild-derived and inbred mouse strains. Members of this reagent panel recognize multiple and distinct epitopes on the Qa-2-bearing molecule(s). Although quantitative variations in Qa-2 levels were observed, no structural...
