title: Aberrant H-2-like allospecificities on K36.16 thymoma. Studies by radiobinding and immunoprecipitation with anti-H-2 monoclonal antibodies.
abstract: The K36.16 thymoma expresses an H-2Dd-like allospecificity as detected by the 34-5-8 monoclonal antibody directed against H-2Dd using immunoprecipitation techniques. This monoclonal antibody gives a negative result by radio-immune assay but other anti-Dd antibodies react positively with this tumour. These results confirm and extend previous observations and are attributed to probable gene-conversion events possibly involving a donor gene from the Qa/Tla region, the products of which cross-react with Dd.
