Abstract
A radiochemical technique has been used to determine the primary structure of a murine H-2Kb molecule, a 346-residue glycoprotein subunit attached to a 99-residue β2-microglobulin subunit. Comparison of this structure with those available for other murine H–2 antigens and human HLA molecules suggests an evolutionary origin of MHC products.
