Abstract
The occurrence of conserved epitopes in the immune system was investig ated on the leukocytes of cattle, river buffalo, sheep, camel, swine a nd humans by indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The distr ibution of the most conservative epitopes on leukocyte sub-populations suggests that the expression pattern of the proteins is similar, West ern blotting experiments indicate that the recognized antigens are str uctural homologues.
