Abstract
The status of the present knowledge on the mammalian sex-specific antigens ("H-Y antigens") is reviewed and critically discussed. Special weight is given to problems related to three major topics, i.e., the immunology, genetics, and biological function(s) of these antigens. Current hypotheses as to the function(s) and the genetic control of the sex-specific antigens are individually scrutinized. Finally, some prospects for further H-Y research which seems especially urgent are briefly suggested.Entities:
