Independent segregation of the H-2 locus and the locus for responsiveness to histamine-sensitizing factor
Abstract:
The inheritance of responsiveness to histamine-sensitizing factor of pertussis bacilli was examined in (SWR/J x CBA/J)F(1) x CBA/J backcross mice. We found that about half of the backcross mice inherited this responsiveness in both sexes. There was no linkage between the inheritance of responsiveness to histamine-sensitizing factor and the H-2(q) locus from the sensitive SW/J progenitor.
