Eleven Ia or B-cell specificities of rhesus monkeys have been serologically identified. They are probably all controlled by the RhLa complex, but, according to results of a large population and family study, only five or six can be placed in a segregant series, designated as Ia1. Data from recombinant offspring in two rhesus families place the Ia1 locus in the close vicinity of the D or major MLC locus within RhLA. The genetic control of the Ia antigens not defined by the Ia1 locus has not yet been clarified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
