Abstract excerpt
In comparison to Dd and most other mouse major histocompatibility complex class I molecules, the Ld molecule is poorly expressed on the cell surface, has a lower affinity for beta 2-microglobulin and is trafficked more slowly to the cell surface. Previous studies using Ld-Dd exon-shuffled constructs and the chimeric Ddm1 molecules suggested that the Ld alpha 1 domain was responsible for this phenotype. Two...
