M. Janitz et al., IN-SITU LOCALIZATION OF HLA CLASS-I MESSENGER-RNA IN HUMAN TESTIS, Experimental and clinical immunogenetics, 10(4), 1993, pp. 202-207
We have used a 0. 3 5-kilobase (kb) antisense RNA probe complementary
to the monomorphic regions of both classical and nonclassical HLA clas
s I sequences to detect histocompatibility-class-I-antigen-specific mR
NA in human testicular tissue. The message has been clearly detected i
n the interstitium while less intensive staining was revealed in the p
eribasal compartment of the seminiferous epithelium.
