Abstract
The primary immune response to the Thy-1.1 antigen was measured by a plaque assay that detected cells producing antibodies lytic for AKR thymocytes. B10.129(6M) mice carrying theH-2 complex of an intermediate responder (129) on a low-responder (B10) background, were low responders. Studies employing different F1 hybrids and segregating generations of 129/J and 6M mice indicated that differences in responsiveness of those two strains depend on alleles at a single locus, loosely linked to theH-2 complex. These results lend further support to the previously advanced concept that the expression of theIr-Thy-1 allcles controlling the response to the Thy-1.1 antigen is influenced by the alleles at theIr-5 locus. In addition, studies employing F1 hybrids produced through matings of 129/J, 6M, C3H.B10 and C57BL/6J mice to a panel of inbred strains suggested that in regard to the responsiveness to the Thy-1.1 antigen, 129/J and 6M mice are phenotypically, and presumably genotypically, similar to C3H.B10 and C57BL/6J mice, respectively.
