Abstract

Erythrocytes and thymocytes of theH-2 d genotype express between 1.6 and 2.6 times as much glyoxalase I activity per milligram of protein as those of theH-2 b genotype; the activity in theF 1 (H-2b/H-2d) cells is intermediate between these two values. Activity of glyoxalase II is not affected by the H-2 genotype. The H-2d:H-2b ratio of glyoxalase I activity is higher in the BALB background where it is 2.6:1 than in the B10 background where it is 1.6:1. Thermal denaturation kinetics of enzymes from the H-2b and H-2d genotype cells are the same.
