H-2-LINKED GENETIC CONTROL OF IMMUNE RESPONSIVENESS TO OVALBUMIN AND OVOMUCOID

Abstract
Immune responsiveness of inbred mice to low doses of ovalbumin or ovomucoid is under control of single dominant genes closely linked to alleles of the H-2 locus. High responsiveness to ovomucoid is linked with the H-2(a) and H-2(k) alleles, and to ovalbumin with the H-2(b), H-2(d), and H-2(q) alleles.
