Nonclassical MHC class I protein Patr-AL

Ana Goyos, PhD. The chimpanzee-specific nonclassical MHC class I protein, Patr-AL, is expressed at low levels on the cell surface. Dr. Goyos uses high resolution confocal microscopy to study the intracellular trafficking patterns of Patr-AL (green) and other MHC molecules (red – HLA-DR). Blue = DNA.
