An immunogenetic analysis of skn antigens in mice

Immunogenetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Studies on the fate of Skn-incompatible grafts indicate that both the immune response to and the potency of these antigens are influenced by the MHC. Evidence is also presented that strains CBA, C3H. and A possess different Skn antigens.
