The segregation of B-cell specific (Ia) determinants was studied in a large number of rhesus families. As expected, on the basis of results of a recent population study, the eight serologically defined DR antigens segregated as alleles of a single locus within RhLA. Two or three antigens not controlled by D R remained candidates for a second la series closely linked to DR. The 162 identifiable haplotypes provided interesting information regarding positive associations among antigens of two, three or even four sets of RhLA loci. Further, a new series of antigens closely linked to the RhLA-A locus could be postulated. Data obtained from 8 recombinant offspring permitted a better definition of the mapping position of all known loci of RhLA.
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.
