Abstract
The search for Cγ allotypes as defined by the markers common to domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus) was extended to additional lagomorphs of the familiesLeporidae andOchotonidae. None of theOchotona sera obtained from Afghanistan and Iran (Ochotona rufescens) exhibited the d11, d12, or e14 allotypes. The e15 marker was detected only by radioimmune binding assays. Comparative inhibition of binding assays revealed similarities with other lagomorphs with respect to the e15i determinant. As in some variants of hare e15 markers, the e15j determinant is absent inOchotona. The results provided a revised phylogenetic scheme for the evolution of the Cγ gene on the basis of the e-series allotypes.
