ly-5 antigen meaning
[Medicine]
A group of lymphocyte surface antigens differentially located on subpopulations of mouse lymphocytes. This localization has been useful in distinguishing different functional subpopulations of lymphocytes. For example,cytotoxic T-cells bear primarily Lyt-23 on their surface and not Lyt-1,whereas helper cells bear Lyt-1 and not Lyt-23.
