Abstract

Tests of MHC-associated mating preference were conducted with the congenic mouse strains BALE (H-2 d), BALB.B (H-2 b), and BALB.HTG (recombinant ofH-2 d andH-2)b. The results conform to a hypothesis that anRi gene (Ri-1), the expression of which influences mating preference in females, is situated to the right of theS region; and that anotherRi gene (Ri-2), the expression of which influences mating preference in males, is situated elsewhere, probably to the left ofH-2D. This hypothesis is consistent with conclusions previously reached from study of the mating preferences of B6 and B6-Tlaa congenic mice.
