| Conclusions | |||||||||
| 1. Wild type L cells express no detectable Qa1 [and lack transcripts for Qa1] | |||||||||
| 2. L cells transfected with Qa1 [LQ cells] express high levels of Qa1 | |||||||||
| 3. Normal ConA blasts express levels of Qa1 that are barely detectable with the mAb 4C2 | |||||||||
