Abstract

The Tla region on the murine 17th chromosome encodes at least three gene products (Qa-1, Qa-2 and TL) which are structurally similar to the major transplantation antigens H-2K, -D and -L. In this communication we compare the tryptic peptides of two Tla region-encoded gene products, Qa-2 and TL. The results indicate that TL and Qa-2 may be only modestly related in amino acid sequence and support the previous suggestion that distinct subfamilies of class I gene products with unique biochemical and functional properties may exist.
