Analogies between embryonic (T/t) antigens and adult major histocompatibility (H-2) antigens

Nature volume 256, pages 545–547 (1975)Cite this article

Abstract

Progress has been made in defining cell surface components specified by the T/t locus in the mouse, both in their expression on sperm and, in the one case studied, on normal embryonic cells and teratocarcinoma. Some striking analogies between this putative embryonic cell recognition system and the adult major histocompatibility complex are presented.
