title: Biochemistry of major human histocompatibility antigens.
abstract: The major histocompatibility region, designated HLA in man and H-2 in the mouse, controls the expression of at least three groups of gene product - serum complement components and two sets of highly polymorphic cell-surface antigens, the so called histocompatibility antigens. In this review Michael Owen and Michael Crumpton describe some recent insights into the biochemical structure of HLA antigens.
