[Recombinant haplotype H-2 in mice of the congenic resistant strain B10.D1(R108)/Y]

Recombinant H-2 haplotype of mouse strain B10.D1(R108)/Y (symbol R108) obtained in experiments with skin grafting in the course of developing the CR B10.D1/Y strain (strain DBA/LacY--the donor of H-2q) was studied. Strains with recombinant H-2 haplotypes a, h2, g1, i3, i5, i7, m, y1 were used. Alleles of different H-2 (K, I, D) regions were determined according to the presence or absence of genetic complementation in the F1 test with skin grafts. R108 recombinant was studied by serological methods with panel of anti-H-2 sera. Anti-H-2Kb (H-2.33) and anti-H-2Dq (H-2.30) monospecific antisera were used in microcytotoxicity test and in absorption experiments in vitro. It was concluded that crossing over between H-2b and H-2q chromosomes, which led to formation of recombinant H-2 haplotype of R108 mice, occurred at I region, between IA and IC subregions. The H-2 complex of R108 line has KbIAbIJ?IE?ICqSqDq alleles. bq1 symbol was proposed for the H-2 haplotype of B10.D1(R108)/Y strain.
