abstractText | To investigate the role of class Ib genes in the Q region of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC), the developmental expression and foetal tissue distribution of the Q genes were studied in the C57BL/6 mouse. Using RNase protection assays, we examined Q gene expression in a wide spectrum of foetal tissues at different stages of gestation, Q4, Q6 and Q8 were widely expressed in a variety of tissues. In contrast, the expression of Q1 was restricted to the thymus and intestinal epithelium. |
