Abstract excerpt
Previous studies showed that HLA-E was expressed in lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) 721.221 cells, but surface expression was lacking. To determine the signals controlling surface expression, we constructed a series of hybrid genes using complementary portions derived from the HLA-E and HLA-A2 genes. In this manner, a hybrid of HLA-E was identified, designated AEH, which differed from HLA-E by having the HLA-A2...
