TL;DR
A cDNA clone carrying a 1560 bp long insert which contains the entire coding and 3' untranslated regions of an H-2K(d) mouse histocompatibility antigen is isolated and its sequence and overal features point to the existence of unique properties of DNA sequences associated with the H- 2K(D) antigen.
Abstract
We have isolated a cDNA clone carrying a 1560 bp long insert which contains the entire coding and 3' untranslated regions of an H-2K(d) mouse histocompatibility antigen. Its sequence and overal features are described. They point to the existence of unique properties of DNA sequences associated with the H-2K(d) antigen.
