The 1-1-2 antibody reacts with the Qa-2 MHC class Ib antigen, which is expressed at higher levels on mature T lymphocytes than on B cells. Its expression is upregulated in the late stages of T-cell maturation. Qa-2 is a 40 kDa GPI-linked cell surface molecule encoded by the Q5, Q6, Q7, and/or Q9 genes of the H-2 complex. A 39 kDa soluble form results from alternative splicing of the transcript. Although Qa-2 is nonpolymorphic, its level of expression on both T and B lymphocytes varies among inbred mouse strains. High expressors include strains carrying the H-2[b] haplotype low expressors include H-2[d] strains, and H-2[k] strains are Qa-2-negative.
