摘要

The T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4 is thought to function as a receptor for class II major histocompatibility complex molecules. Human CD4 is also the lymphoid cell receptor for human immunodeficiency virus, the causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The observed infection of the central nervous system in acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients raises the possibility that CD4 is also present in nerve tissue and that a cell surface receptor for class II major histocompatibility complex antigens could play a role in central nervous system function. This possibility is reinforced by the detection of unique CD4-related transcripts in mouse and human brain tissue. In this study, the structure of the mouse brain CD4 transcript was determined. It is identical to the last two-thirds of the CD4 message and is capable of encoding a 217-residue protein that would consist of a truncated, 154-residue, cell surface region, together with the complete CD4 transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions. It would not include an amino-terminal hydrophobic leader peptide.
