title: Structural studies on the murine Ia alloantigens. VI. Evidence that both subunits of the I-A alloantigen are encoded by the I-A subregion.
abstract: The alpha and beta subunits of the murine I-A alloantigens from several H-2 haplotypes were examined by comparative tryptic peptide mapping by using double label (3H and 14C) techniques. Significant structural variation between alleles was detected in both subunits. Tryptic digests of the alpha polypeptides from s, b, and d showed only 65% co-elution with k; beta-chains from s, b, d, and r were about 50% similar to the k beta subunit. Peptide analysis of the Ak subunits from intra-H-2 recombinant strains indicated that both the alpha and beta polypeptides are encoded within the I-A subregion.
