  • Phenotype Summary
    1 phenotype reference
This locus controls an antigen on peripheral T-cells of spleen, lymph node and bone marrow, but not on thymocytes. Strain distribution patterns vary by assay, measuring presence/absence of antigen, protein acidic/basic qualities and molecular polymorphisms.
