Les antigènes HLA-DR [...] sont présents sur un faible nombre de cellules de l'organisme : les lymphocytes B, les lymphocytes T activés, notamment par la PHA et les lymphocytes T cytotoxiques, les macrophages, les cellules endothéliales des vaisseaux, les cellules épidermiques et les spermatozoïdes. Les études ont montré qu'ils étaient codés par un locus proche du locus HLA-D d'où leur dénomination d'antigènes DR (D related). 1, record 2, French, - antig%C3%A8ne%20HLA%2DDR
