title: Glycosyltransferases and T-cell recognition.
abstract: Recent studies suggest that the AIIIC locus controls families of carbohydrate, as well as protein, histocompatibility antigens. In this article Christopher Parish and his colleagues discuss the molecular and genetic implications of these findings and present the hypothesis that the glycosyltransferase enzymes which construct the carbohydrate histocompatibility antigens may be involved in T-cell recognition.
