Terai, Y., Mayer, W. E., Klein, J., Tichy, H., Okada, N.
In East African Lake Victoria >200 endemic species of haplochromine fishes have been described on the basis of morphological and behavioral differences. Yet molecular analysis has failed to reveal...
Isolation and characterization of lymphocyte-like cells from a lamprey (2002)
Mayer, W. E., Uinuk-ool, T., Tichy, H., Gartland, L. A., Klein, J., Cooper, M. D.
Lymphocyte-like cells in the intestine of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, were isolated by flow cytometry under light-scatter conditions used for the purification of mouse intestinal...
Uinuk-ool, T., Mayer, W. E., Sato, A., Dongak, R., Cooper, M. D., Klein, J.
To shed light on the origin of adaptive immunity, a cDNA library was prepared from purified lymphocyte-like cells of a jawless vertebrate, the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). Randomly selected cDNA...

The mangrove killifish Rivulus marmoratus, a neotropical fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes, is the only known obligatorily selfing, synchronous hermaphroditic vertebrate. To shed light on its...
ANTKOWIAK, B., MAYER, W. E., ENGELMANN, W.
The ultradian rhythmic movement of the lateral leaflets of Desmodium motorium is accompanied by rhythmic changes of the extra- and intracellular electrical potentials in the pulvinus, which are...
Major histocompatibility complex class I genes of the coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae.
Betz, U A, Mayer, W E, Klein, J
The coelacanth fish Latimeria chalumnae is the sole surviving species of a phylogenetic lineage that was founded more than 400 million years ago and that has changed morphologically very little since...
Resolution of the HLA-DRB6 puzzle: a case of grafting a de novo-generated exon on an existing gene.
Mayer, W E, O'hUigin, C, Klein, J
HLA-DRB6, one of the human major histocompatibility complex genes, lacks exon 1, which normally codes for the leader and the first four amino acid residues of the mature protein. Because it also...
Mayer, W E, Jonker, M, Klein, D, Ivanyi, P, Van Seventer, G, Klein, J
To obtain an insight into the evolutionary origin of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I polymorphism, a cDNA library was prepared from a heterozygous chimpanzee cell line expressing...
Structure of the murine Ia-associated invariant (Ii) chain as deduced from a cDNA clone.
Singer, P A, Lauer, W, Dembić, Z, Mayer, W E, Lipp, J, Koch, N, ...
The invariant (Ii) chain is a membrane-spanning glycoprotein found intracellularly associated with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Using hybrid-selected translation and the...
Ancient allelism at the cytosolic chaperonin-alpha-encoding gene of the zebrafish.
Takami, K, Figueroa, F, Mayer, W E, Klein, J
The T-complex protein 1, TCP1, gene codes for the CCT-alpha subunit of the group II chaperonins. The gene was first described in the house mouse, in which it is closely linked to the T locus at a...
