Recent analyses of the upstream regulatory regions of the class I major histocompatibility complex genes in higher primates provided a generalized structural basis for the differential expression of A- and B-locus gene products in response to specific physiological stimulus. Among the regulatory sequences that differ between the loci is the interferon-responsive element (IRE). While the B-IRE is conserved, the A-IREs have species-specific sequence variation.
