The major histocompatibility complex of rhesus monkeys, RhLA: XV. Chemical characterizations of DR locus antigens and antigen 48.

Immunoprecipitation studies of the rhesus monkey major histocompatibility system have shown that the RhLA-DR locus codes for class II antigens with molecular features that are homologous to the class II antigens coded for by the human HLA-DR locus. The product of another alloantigenic RhLA-linked locus of the rhesus monkey, called '48', is provisionally characterized as a class I system.
