Conduction of clinical tria...

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) 1 genes, in particular those encoded in the I region of the murine H-2, have been shown to be of functional importance in several aspects of immune response regulation. Thus, I region-encoded immune response (It) genes determine responsiveness or unresponsiveness to a number of antigens (1); and T cell recognition of I region gene products is critical for ...
