Ly-5: A new T-lymphocyte antigen system

Immunogenetics volume 1, pages 452–456 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

Ly-5 is a third genetic locus of the type so far represented in the mouse byLy-1 andLy-2/Ly-3; it specifies antithetical alloantigens, one of which is present exclusively on T lymphocytes of every mouse. The chromosomal locus ofLy-5 has not been established, but it is not closely linked toLy-1 orLy-2/Ly-3. Like other T-lymphocyte surface markers, expression of Ly-5 antigens on T-lymphocyte precursor cells can be initiated in vitro by inducers of T-cell differentiation.
