title: An ordered sequence of expression of human MHC class-II antigens during B-cell maturation?
abstract: Studies with monoclonal antibodies confirm that human MHC class-II antigens are encoded by at least three pairs of loci. Here Keith Guy and Veronica van Heyningen suggest that as B cells mature theproducts of these loci are expressed in the sequence SB → DR → DC antigens - a sequence which parallels the order of the genes on chromosome 6.
