Abstract
The I-J subregion of the murine H-2 complex encompasses a locus controlling suppressor T lymphocyte determinants, Ia-4 (1). I-J molecules also demarcate a helper T cell subset (1), macrophages required for in vitro antibody production (2) and T cells initiating response to Con A (3). Antigen-specific suppressor T cell factors also bear I-J determinants. Much biochemical information is known about these soluble proteins. Little is known about the biochemistry of cellular I-J products. Direct visualization of these molecules is difficult, and their isolation has not been reported. Lymphocyte proteolysis offers one means of studying cellular I-J biochemistry.
